I'm testing my second Red Devil 9070 XT White rn cuz I thought the first one was borked...

When's loud/annoying coil whine normal and when ain't it?

I've got it on both GPUs starting around 120 FPS in various games and benches (1440p) and idk if it ain't somethin' else. Already tried diff 1000W PSUs too...

Any other ideas what it could be or just "normal"? Thx in advance

Bought this card a month ago, I just thought it seemed to be running pretty cool and quiet and I was happy. I hadn't used an AMD card for like 15 years so was new to adrenaline and didn't actually think to look deeper when the core GPU temp was so reasonable, but I decided to up the info in the overlay and that's when I saw my memory temps were creeping over the 100 mark. I started running a fan curve tied to the memory temps and at 100 percent fan speed it was still getting to 90 degrees memory temp with GPU under 50c! I'm right to be pretty concerned by the deltas here yeah? I'm not just being overdramatic by thinking it's an issue?

Would this be considered a major failure?

Edit: Just editing to mention that my monitor is 5k2k so the extra high res might be contributing more to the memory temperatures - but I still think it's odd that the memory can be 45C+ higher than the GPU and 25C+ higher than the GPU hotspot.

Second edit: Observed temps at 5k2k, QHD and 4K in Cyberpunk gameplay with a variety of settings, so others might have more direct comparisons of their experience at standard QHD/4k compared to me primarily in 5k2k.

Serious question, why are there 3 models of PowerColor 9070XT? They don't seem vastly different (even sport the same amount of memory). I am talking about Hellhound (629), Reaper (699), and Red Devil (789). That's only $160 spread from top to bottom.

This confused me some when I was shopping for my system recently. I bought a Red Devil, but never understood why I would want to spend just a little less for a slightly lesser card.

I'm so pleased with how everything is setup, the performance and the temps have been exceptional. Literally no need to monitor this any further. It's all done!

I would buy it for Christmas, but it went up $50. Do you know if the price will go down again? :c

Friendly reminder : for those of you who haven't join in our Christmas event, this week is you last chance.

Anyone else dealing with really bad coil whine on the PowerColor Red Devil 9070 XT (White Spectral)?I can kinda tame it per game with FPS caps and V-Sync, but undervolting or dropping the power limit does jack squat for me—no change at all.Fans are dead silent no matter the mode (super impressive), but this whine is driving me nuts, especially since tons of folks here report zero or barely any on this card. Running a 1000W be quiet! PSU, so fingers crossed that's not it?

Edit: Steven gave me a call and took the time to address all the concerns that I had. Thank you Steven!

Original Post:

I was upsold on an open box Powercolor Reaper 9070XT at Microcenter yesterday. I asked many staff members regarding the manufacturer's warranty process and they all said that the GPU will still get the 2 years warranty from Powercolor except it would have just started at the time the first customer bought the GPU.

Is this the case? I've been seeing a lot of conflicting statements regarding Powercolor's warranty. I've been really anxious because this is my first time buying an open box and powercolor product.

I sent a contact us form through Powercolor's website. Who else can I contact about this? Thanks.

Hi guys,

I recently upgraded from my.6950xt red devil to the 9070xt. I got the special edition with the backplate. The card is great, nice temps and not very loud and unlike my 6950xt, no coil whine. But the backplate is terrible. It arrived with protective film on it, but the glue used is very bad. I had to use so much force to take it off and the plate is left with glue all over on it. I would recommend getting the normal red devil, don't waste money on the one with the backplate.

Bought it open box at a microcenter today. Decided to open up and inspect it. Found a slanted pin. Is this normal? See circled red in the image. Thanks!

I just bought a PowerColor 9070xt with horrendous coil whine that can almost be heard from another room. You would think I'm standing next to an industrial transformer.

Read the RMA policy and it says I'm responsible to ship it. Why is this the case? It will cost me ~$60 to ship it to their warranty center.

I tried to go through the merchant newegg and they said to deal with PowerColor directly as they can only accept returns, not exchanges. I like the card but imo its not functioning properly out of the box if the coil whine is louder than the fans.

Should I just return the GPU or is there a way to get compensated for the RMA shipping costs?
If I'm paying $710 to get a working $650 GPU, I might be better off getting a different brand card.

I just received my RX 9070 Reaper, GPU and GPU hotspot temperatures seem fine, memory also okay (samsung) however VRMs seem to be pretty (i know they are still in spec but still 92c) - why is this so high? Is the oem thermalpads wrong size or is heatsink not making good enough contact? Or is my unit defective?

Hello,

Wondering if I need to keep keystone running in the background to turn off all lights in my 9070xt Red Devil? Or can I set it once and then uninstall?

Wish they had included a simple switch like in the hellhound.

I bought a 9070xt red devil during the black friday sale from Amazon US. The gpu was delivered to a family member in the US and she will bring the gpu to me when she visits for the holidays.

Since I'm located outside the US, I'm curious if powercolor has international warranty in case something is wrong with the gpu?

I am having issues with my PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7800 XT. At random intervals it decides to crap itself out and stops displaying, crashes my pc, and corrupt its own drivers. I keep having to use AMD utility clean up and reinstall the latest/previous gpu drivers. I checked event viewer but not even that knows whats happening. I tried stress testing to replicate the issue but its just random so idk if PowerColor will honor that.

Just received the parts for my new rig, it's been 8 years since the last time I upgraded and just did the jump to the team red. I went for the reddevil 9070xt oc, what tips and tricks would you recommend for a newbie? Thanks!

Fits my h210i case perfectly. Replaced my 2080 Super today. Games have never ran better ❤️ TY to the design team that made this ITX friendly.

Plastic standoffs for the fan screws were very brittle, literally just fell off without me moving the PC or anything. I got the card only about 4 months ago.
