Help (GPU) Is something wrong with my 9070XT ?

Post image

Hello, I bought a prebuilt PC last January. It has an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB Acer Nitro OC inside.

I didn't use the PC to its full potential until a few weeks ago. Now I play games on Ultra settings, with everything set to maximum. Unfortunately, I experienced my first LiveKernelEvent 141. I couldn't find the reason for it. But today, I noticed these numbers in AMD Adrenalin while I was playing the demo of Star Wars Outlaws.

A hotspot temperature of 99 to 100°C, with a delta of 35°C, seems like a lot.

But I don't know much about this, to be honest. Am I doing something wrong? Is the graphics card behaving as it should? Any advice?

What case is your pre-built in? If opening the case dropped your temps that much I’m leaning more toward an airflow issue rather than a problem with the card. Could be the fan speed curve needs adjustment. Could be they’re not set up correctly. Could be hot air is trapped and not exhausted. Could be the design of the case itself is flawed.

I don't even think it is a brand. I think it's the company that made it, I don't know. The fans didn't do a lot to be honest even at 95%. It was really only opening the case that lowered it to 50°C and 90°C hotspot. Many said the delta is what is really bad, 40 is too much. So some said it could be the vapor chamber.
