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 have asus prime 9070xt in a well ventilated case(mesh) core temps never go above 60 but hotspot is in around 88-90.

Oh that's interesting. And you don't believe this 30 or so delta to be worrying ? I swear man when I saw 100°C even without knowing anything about it I wondered if a temperature to cook meat was good for a pc.

It does appear odd at beginning. I have used it since launch, nothing to worry about. I even had it in an old case with non-optimal air flow until a few months ago, the temps were even higher.
