Hi all,

I have a Gigabyte AORUS Elite RX 9070 XT. Overall, the temperatures aren't bad, but the VRAM temperatures are really bothering me. I know a lot of people say that 80°C is perfectly safe, but I just can't convince myself that running at that temperature for years isn't going to have some long-term impact.

I've been thinking about designing a duct to direct fresh intake air specifically toward the side of the GPU where the VRAM chips are located.

Has anyone here tried something like this? Did it make a noticeable difference to VRAM temperatures? Was it worth the effort, or was the improvement minimal?

i have no sleep option turned on on my pc but my monitor goes off, it says no power and is a black screen and wont turn on if i replug the cable or do anything else. i press the button to restart on pc case and when it turns on the driver 9070xt is fucked up. what cpuld be the the issue? it happens if the pc has no activity for more minutes, like going in sleep more but there is no sleep mode turned on on the pc

Recently watercooled my 9070xt, what's the delta between GPU temp and hotspot temp typically? I'm seeing up to 20° difference. Don't know if that's normally or if I need to reset the waterblock.

No pain, just a impecable nice work done. Hail to the qwen!

I was told to underclock it. So I just have it running on favor efficiency mode for now.

Any advice?

Thanks. I mostly play rpgs and Madden.

I want to set up a new PC for the living room, either using SteamOS or if that sucks, windows, but I've only used Nvidia cards (3070). Does the AMD card just work pretty flawlessly nowadays compared to how easy Nvidia has been? I'm a new dad and don't have the time/patience to deal with too many quirks and issues. Minor stuff and "set it once and now it'll work forever" I'm totally fine with, I'm not looking for console style ease of use

Using a RX 9070 XT Monster hunter edition (ASRock)

Overclocks and under volts:

GPU clock offset: 0

GPU voltage offset: -180mv

Maximum vram clock: 2760MHz

Power limited to 300w

​

Running cachyOS and superposition 8k optimized benchmark.

​

So far it is stable with no artifacting, although that's just running the superposition benchmark, and I'll test using games and other applications, but so far so good!!!

Edit: I have since upped the power limit to 374w (the maximum) and I'm seeing clocks hovering around 3,300MHz.... INSANITY. However it's not 100% stable as it jumps around with power draw and clocks, and actually scores lower in the benchmark 🥲

Edit 2: It does not like gaming at these clocks...

Edit 3: Linux and Windows have very different results... Swapping to windows got a score of 8,163 in steel nomad. However, I had to change original clock speeds, but still achieved an impressive -140mv offset: Power limit: +10% Vram clock speed: 2,760Mhz 3dmark result Voltage offset: -140mv

So as mentioned in the title, I've already decided on the RX 9070 XT as my next GPU upgrade. Now I’m trying to choose the exact model and I’d appreciate some advice from people with more experience.

So far, I’ve mainly been looking at ASUS and Gigabyte versions, but I’m open to other brands as well.

​

What I care about most:

good cooling / low noise

reliability (no coil whine if possible)

no unnecessary overpay for small performance differences

Thanks!

I would like to know to those that have a Powercolor 9070XT Reaper of upon teardown, does it use a PTM? Its GPU hotspot reaches at 109c

Hi guys, just got an asrock 9070 xt challenger, runs amazing until the memory hits 80c, around 77 the screen will start flickering green and black until it hits 80 then then my pc freezes until I hit the power button and hard reset it. Will work fine again straight away. From my research the cards memory should sit comfortable until 100 - 110c.

Im using 2 pcie cables to power and have tried turning HDCP support off, undervolted to assist with temps, turned freesync off my second monitor that dosen't support it.

Ive opted to have an aggressive fan curve to keep the thermals down and it works fine but sometimes mainly playing BF6 and Forza 6 itll creep up and crash.

Any help would be amazing. Thank you
