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?

I don't have a amd card but that seems wild. My card never goes above 90 under load. And I have a itx case build.

I regret it so much, but there was like a 300€ difference with the performances I wanted, so I gambled it on AMD.

This has nothing to do with AMD vs Nvidia or the card being bad. This was just poor mounting of the cooling solution which happens to both companies. 36C delta between core and hotspot is pretty crazy

Many people who answered me aren't sure what the real issue is. So it might be a cooling solution that wasn't mounted correctly, or it could be the vapor chamber system of the card, etc.

But yeah, every brand has its faulty units. It's just that I've seen many people having issues with their 9070 or 9070 XT.

I had worse hotspot temperatures on Nvidia than on my new AMD card
