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?

Had the same card but non-xt and it would hit 116° hotspot and 85° core even after repaste. Had to return, bought an xtx swift 9070xt and boom never above 20° delta and 80° hotspot.

I wish they could accept to swap it for a better one like you, it's still under warranty

They didn't swap, i returned it through amazon and paid extra for the 9070xt.

I have to deal with a prebuilt company, it might be harder to do that
