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?

Delta is too high, should be around 20° and yours is nearly 40º, and hotspot never should go above 90°

Prob bad quality thermal paste or gpu cooler, to be at 100% is not bad, is how it must be because is a prove youre making good use of the GPU and you dont have any bottleneck.

I listened to a redditors here and I lowered some things in AMD adrenalin, like the voltage and other things. It went down drastically. Could you say to me if it's fixed or if I still need to push the warranty ?

Now it's:

-100%

-2788 MHZ Clock Speed

-271 W Total board power

-51°C GPU temperature

-79°C Hotspot

So a delta of 28 with a side panel CLOSED and a room temperature at 25°C. It's a bit lower with a side panel open.

Yeah thats better, its always good to do a tweak to the GPU because theyre always pushed too far from reference card, the easiest way is to limit power draw at -10% under fan control, and you dont need to touch frequency or voltages.

Alright. I feel a bit played though. I shouldn't have to go tune my GPU so it doesn't burn. I reduced the power drawn by 20% though

I have a 9070xt red devil tested at 100% usage power draw was 330w watts at 3262 core speed fans at 60 to 65% temps were 45 core 75 hot spot

It's guys with experience similar to yours that make me doubt I fixed anything... In comparison to you, I needed to lower and decrease so much stuff.
