All I wanted to know was the maximum safe temperature :'(

    All computing devices companies should be required to have sites as detailed as Intel’s ark site and going back in time to the very first product.

    85°C is usually the limit for longevity. 100°C should cause most processors to throttle back. I haven’t seen my RTX 3060 get much above 70°C

      No offence, but this is useless advice and exactly the reason why I wanted official data. “Usually”s and “Shoulds” don’t help. Especially for a completely different graphics card.

        The values they gave are typical for most electronics of this nature,
        many things are different between different cards, but they’re built using the same materials and components with the same limitations

    Pretty sure that information is stored in the driver, so you should be able to query it using monitoring software, i.e. see:

    NVML-API

    I know tooling like nvtop uses the API, but unsure whether it displays the maximum temperature

    Can’t let people know they were actually almost as powerful as the current overpriced silicon.
