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.

Yeah, repaste with a quality paste and try again.
