GPU Diode Temp 10+ degrees hotter?
I ran all the normal diagnostic programs and there is nothing out of the ordinary. The one thing I have noticed is that the GPU diode temp is roughly 10 degrees hotter than the GPU and GPU heatsink temps.
My questions are:
What is the difference between the diode and the GPU? (I know what the heatsink is).
Is it normal for a discrepancy this big? I have searched the apple forums and macrumors for a while and haven't found one where it is more than 5 or 6 degrees.
Currently the GPU is 49 deg C, and the Diode is 60 deg C under light load (safari).
Thanks
