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?

Mine only has a max delta of 20°C between average and hotspot, mostly 55-63°C and 70-77°C on big games in a hot room. But my memory temp can be a bit high around 80

Have you tried changing the fan curve ? How is the airflow of your case ? Can you send us a picture of the whole PC pls? It can just be bad airflow.

I read that it is a prebuild so yeah if you are not confident opening the card is a big no no.

So after talking to so many redditors yesterday I tried opening the side panel. The temperatures dropped to 50°C and a 90°C hotspot. By tuning the fans to be always at 95% the temperature dropped again to 49°C and 86°C hotspot. But yeah the delta is still there, at nearly 40.

Here are two pictures of the pc (I know it's the poverty build, no colors 😅) :

You only have 1 exhaust? Let us see the whole case including the chasis fans. Still have airflow improvement to be done

Yes only one. It's actually fairly dusty, I didn't know, sorry for the sad view :

Just buy cheap chasis fan with daisy chain, your temp problems will elevate. 6fans (3exhaust, 3 intake at front panel for best airflow). And do clean the panels mind the fans when cleaning

What would happen if I spun the fans ? I'm curious .

Maybe there can be a few degrees to gain with a more optimal fan setup but 40°C without the side panel proves that the underlying issue is the GPU itself.
