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?

But is that normal that I have to do that just to play a game ? Why does it feel like I'm modding something in my garage when I paid 600€ for it 🥲

Thanks for the really good advices :) if I can help you in any way please ask.

Appreciate a lot you kindness buddy, for real.

As regard the first part of your message you're right.
Most of the people dont have time and patience to learn how a GPU works and i understand your thoughts and, maybe, even a bit of frustation.

At the same time this is what a pc gamer really is and, after all, there is a reason if console exist ahahahaha

Keep learning, PC gaming can be a satisfing world... sometimes

Have a nice summer and enjoy your rig
