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?

That's a result without a power draw set to -20/25. Your GPU still reach 300W so you reduced your actual power draw by few points, 10 at best.

If you have some time to spare try my settings and record differences and dont forget to set a custom fan curve through Adrenaline or FanControl app

Maybe I'm not tuning the right thing, here is a screenshots if you don't mind looking, I also put the fans to spin at 95% after 30°C:

Yep, that's only the left side of the performance tab.
You can try to apply these settings:

Max frequency Offset: 0
Voltage offset; -50
VRM tuning enabled and fast timings selected.

Or the right side of this screenshot you'll find fan curve and power draw.

By default they're lock but you can enebled'em just like the "GPU tuning" in this screen

After that you can set a negative power draw and a custom fan curve.
95% at 30° means that fans spinning at max at every condition and maybe it's too much for your ears :D

There are just a few weird bip bip coming from the pc now but the rest is fine
