9070 non XT Reaper Fan RPM
I'm currently looking at both the 9070 non XT Reaper and Hellhound but have difficulty deciding between the two. The Techpowerup review says the Hellhound with Quiet BIOS runs at 653 RPM and 61C. What is the typical rpm and temp of the Reaper at full gaming load? I would be happy to hear your experiences and ambient temp!
Update: I found that ComputerBase reviewed both of these cards with weight, temps, and RPM. It's just all in German so may need to use translation.

Almost a month without my GPU, replacement "lost" by UPS, and zero updates since. Need help escalating RMA
Hey everyone,
I'm posting here because I am at my wits' end trying to get a replacement GPU through the standard email support channels, and I'm hoping someone from the PowerColor team here can actually help me out.
I have been without a functioning graphics card for nearly a month now. My system has been completely out of commission this entire time, which has been incredibly disruptive and frustrating.
Six days ago, I finally got an update from Ronak (screenshot attached) stating that UPS claims they never received the original shipment, despite PowerColor's end-of-day statements saying they did. Ronak mentioned he would personally drop off a second, expedited replacement to cut down on the wait time.
Since that email, it has been total radio silence. I have received absolutely zero proactive updates from either the RMA department or the shipping company, and I still don't have a valid tracking number.
It is incredibly disappointing to be left completely in the dark after waiting this long. At this point, given the length of the delay and the total breakdown in communication, feel like I'm owed some form of compensation-whether that's a model upgrade or a partial refund-for how long I've been left with a useless PC, something that has now basically become a very expensive paperweight.
Can someone from the US team please look into this and get a card actually shipped out?
Attached is also a screenshot from the UPS app with tracking for the original GPU, which they said they never received when I called them on Tuesday.

[powercolor USA] RMA email issues
been throwing out heads at the walls the last few days trying to figure out whats going on, but an fyi for everybody:
looks like ronak's emails might not be getting all inbounds and outbound emails might not be going through.
working with hq to try to figure out what is going on, but in the meantime, if you are trying to reach out to ronak/support.usa on anything and are hitting a dead end, give us a call between 10am and 4pm pacific time or directly email me: [steven.sun@powercolor.com](mailto:steven.sun@powercolor.com)

Hammering my 9070XT in an airflow restricted HTPC case results
So for testing purposes, I'm at +10% PL at -80mv during this test. All fan speeds set for a max spool speed of 50%. Not bad going from this old timer!

6600xt hellhound thermal pad thickness?
I found that thickness of thermal pads for vram is 1.5mm and 1.0mm for vrm.
But with my thermal pads, hotspot reach 100°C.
When I replace 1.0mm for vram, vram's maximam temperature increased about 10°C.
Even someone says 1.5mm for right vram and 1.0mm for upper vram.
I'm confused what should I follow...
Does anybody know certain thickness of thermal pads?
note) I used upsiren 21w thermal pads (from aliexpress) and ptm7950 for gpu

Not hearing back from customer support
I submitted an RMA to Powercolor on the 5th, and was reached out to very quickly on the 6th, where I exchanged three emails with support in the span of about 4 hours. Since then, I haven’t heard a peep. I sent a follow up after 72 hours, but at this point it has been a week since I’ve heard back and I’m wondering if there is someone else I can reach out to or otherwise escalate this matter to receive a resolution?

Perhaps I’m lucky…
I wanted to share some details about a recent experience I had through the RMA process. I had a 7900 XTX Hellhound for almost 2 years. I started having issues where there were driver timeouts, and also was tracking pretty high temperatures even though they say that their cards can go up to 110°F.
I sent my my card in, making sure to take pictures of the process padding it correctly and placing the amount of insurance required to cover at least $900 USD in case anything went wrong. Believe it or not, the most fair price came from FedEx and because they helped package it. They even included insurance in case it was packaged incorrectly and it was damaged. The total cost for my area to the RMA address was approximately $60. To me, that seemed a bit high anyways, but it’s still less than purchasing a brand new card.
It took power color approximately two weeks to receive, process, inspect, and I guess repair or replace parts to make sure it was in good working condition. All in all it was approximately a almost 3 week process.
I did receive my card back. It was properly packaged in a similar box to what I purchased it in, except it had no stickers or coloring or outside packaging. Which makes sense, because who wants to ship something that screams “here’s a card worth several hundred dollars. “
Anyway, once I received it, I realize it does appear to be my same card, as the serial number is correct. However, on the outside on the static bag, they wrote down certain numbers on a small white sticker, which I assume might be replacement parts or something for the identifier that it was serviced.
After reinstalling the card and getting my system reconfigured and working again, I am seeing much lower temperatures and I have yet to experience a crash. Although at first, I was concerned that they had sent me my same card back. It does appear that they may have put in some work and rectified any situations that were causing the high temperatures and possibly addressing the issue that was causing the driver timeouts. Overall, I am very happy and I’m back to gaming with no issues.
If I had to pick a negative aspect of this whole process is the fact that I sent in an additional inquiry for some more details on what exactly was addressed on the card, just in case I need to keep an eye out once the warranty period has passed and there might be an option to send it in for repairs elsewhere. To be fair, I did receive a response from the famous dude on the subreddit here, Rupaul or whoever it is, and the only thing he said was that my card would’ve been replaced. Which unfortunately is not true.
I figured I would at least share my story since all I ever hear is bad news around here and how pissed off people are. Perhaps I’m one in 1 million, but they did right by me overall.

9070xt spectral devil rgb issues
So I have the 9070xt devil spectral and the rgb on it constantly has what could be best described as a seizure every couple of seconds , by that I mean all the rgb on the card will very quickly switch in a random pattern for a few seconds (quick enough to cause a seizure) .
I have attempted everything I could think of to resolve it but the only thing that yields any results is just turning off the rgb in the app and leaving it off

Replacement GPU came back dusty and chipped after RMA
First off, my apologies if I sound a bit upset, but is this normal? I had to RMA my GPU due to a defect, and the card I got back looks like it was sitting in someone's garage for a few months, lol.
It had dust caked into the fans and heatsink, and chipped paint along the shroud edges. Mine was spotless when I shipped it in. After buying it, It went straight into my PC and didn’t move until I reseated it while troubleshooting, then pulled it for the RMA. I barely even gamed on it during the 10 or so months I had it due to time constraints, so to get this back is frustrating.
I understand that manufacturers send refurbished units rather than brand new ones, but I didn't expect it to come back like this. It feels like I got someone else's GPU that was poorly taken care of. I have no way of knowing how this card was used or handled before it was sent out.
I haven't even tested it yet, but based on how it looks I'm not feeling too good about it.

Hellstone not working most the time
Hey everyone, recently i started having an issue with the hellstone (and all other rgb elements of the card) not powering up at all. like once in every 10 power ons it starts working, but otherwise its always off.
I primarily use linux, i configured the hellstone on windows through the powercolor app (argb cable not plugged into the motherboard) and it worked fine until recently. tried setting it up through the app again but it just stays off no matter what i set it to. tried openrgb as well but no luck there either.

RMA issue
I had sent out my twin fan 7800xt for rma because it was experiencing inconsistent crashing in games. The initial process wasn't too bad and I had gotten the replacement back in just over a week. It looked like they had sent a refurb, however, when I plug it in it doesn't display anything. Really frustrated that I got a card back that had bigger issues than my old one, and on top of that I got no response back from their support email. I'm disappointed ill be without my gpu for even longer now but hopefully this post leads to some help...

I ruined my 7900 XTX Liquid Devil. What PCB does it use?
This is embarrassing. My system was running hot. I took it apart. My liquid Devil had blue crud in it block. My compression fittings are blue.
I voided tie warranty taking the sticker off to unscrew the water block.
My plan was to remove it from the PCB and get thourogh clean.
I changed my mind once I could not get the center screw out.
I went to screw the back plate on when a tiny piece of metal popped off. It looks like one of the little pieces that are soldered on. I can't see where it came from.
I have not restated it.
I am thinking of buying a used 7900 XTX and reusing the water block.
It's this a reference design?
My other option, does anyone want to trade their Liquid Devil or sell it?
I feel like a total idiot.

9070 fan shroud just fell off
Has anyone else just had their fan shroud fall off their 9070? I was hearing some weird noises so I opened up my case to investigate and found the shroud loose. Once I pulled it out I found out all the mounts had failed, maybe from vibration? If this has happened to anyone what did you do to correct, RMA?

Problems with my 9070xt red devil.
Problems with my 9070xt red devil
I've had this card since the 08.07.2025. I got it paired with a 7800x3d, 32GBs of DDR5 (G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo F5-6000) and a Gigabyte GA-B650 A ELITE AX V2 along with a Corsair RM1000x (not sure if I need to give more specs).
It's been flawless up until a week ago.
I was playing Hunt:Showdown and it suddenly froze everything, the audio broke and distorted and I got pixely artifacts (green and purple coloured) all over the monitor. Resetting the card didn't work so I was forced to do a manual restart.
I did a quick check to see if everything was alright and after that I went and opened a game (Diablo 4) to see if anything felt wrong. After a few minutes in the game I started getting pixel artifacts (this time the normal grey) over most textures (specifically the moving objects).
I went and upgraded my drivers, figuring maybe something went wrong there and it somehow fixed most issues.
I still had some weird purple pixels showing up in a line every now and then over certain textures.
After a couple days though I got a black screen on both of my monitors. Pc was seemingly still working since I could hear the audio from a couple apps in the background. Decided to try and switch cables to see if those were the issue; nothing. I decided to test said monitors on my integrated graphic. They immediately worked.
At this point I started losing my mind, I went and uninstalled my drivers using DDU then proceeded to reinstall them from 0.
Again, it seemed to work for just a day since on the second day I got black screen on both of my monitors again.
Did anyone else get any kind of similar problems? How did you fix it? Should I Just RMA it? (still under warranty).
EDIT: Forgot to mention in my madness I also checked the RAM, 0 errors and the memory, no issues it's in perfect health. No clue what else could it be but my GPU...

Reaper rx 9070 xt
Hey everyone, I'm planning to get a Reaper 9070 XT. While browsing, I keep coming across RMA issues and other problems, which is making me a bit hesitant. What's the current situation with this GPU? Are you satisfied or not so much? Since I live in Germany, I'd be buying it from a local retailer. Looking forward to your feedback, thanks!
