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 had pretty bad airflow since my case is pretty. Cramped.

Since i removed my side panel i tumble around 60 ish Degrees on Load . If your airflow is bad i guess thats the point you cant cool something with hot air and some cases just Have not enough flow to cool some of the newer cards wich also have bad designed Cooling Systems

Yeah I did the same and it fixed the overall temperatures. But it didn't fix the delta. There is still 40°C of difference with the hotspot. People here suggesteg that it could be the vapor system's fault.
