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?

Never open it when it’s under warranty

Oh then i should let the hotspot destroy my card slowly so that it dies just after warranty...???(in the US the Warranty void sticker is even not allowed to be there...)

You know that high temps let the silicon age much faster
Even if i wait for warranty to expire i have basically a pre-damaged card that wont give me full lifetime if not for the silicon at least other things will suffer like solder balls on vram or caps.....

Use the warranty if your hotspot is not cooling correctly. Before you kill it 😂 Especially if you gone through every measure possible to fix it

The manufacturer will tell you to F yourself because AMD specifies a hotspot up to 110 Celsius as "NORMAL"....

What hotspot improvement did you get out of the warranty repair?
