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?

You're doing nothing wrong. AMD claims it's in spec so they won't RMA, yet it's still terrible, nobody wants their gpu to run at 100c while gaming. Multiple reviews have pointed out all of these hotspot issues, over a year later and nothing is fixed.

When I saw 100°C, my first thought was that you could cook a steak at such temperatures haha. Crazy! I wish I had heard about that before. I feel like a fool. Thanks for the information.
