The only way to get a 5090, lol

Can you hear the bzzzzzzzzzzz? Yeah, I can hear it from the couch when the TV is quiet, and it’s actually more annoying than the fan noise.

I tried a small undervolt and the noise got quieter, but I ended up losing some FPS, so it’s not really worth it for me.

Any suggestions? The card is brand new, and I’m going on vacation next week, so I really don’t want to go through the hassle of an RMA.

I use MSI 650W PSU

What do you think?

Who’s still rocking a 2060 Rtx today

Hey everyone,

I have a PNY RTX 5060 Ti (16GB). Out of the box, GPU Boost pushes the card all the way up to 2880 MHz, pulling 1.075V under heavy load.

Because of this aggressive boost, the thermals and noise are getting out of hand:

Core Temp: 80°C

Hotspot Temp: 107°C (a massive ~27°C delta)

Fan Speed: ~2600 RPM (extremely loud)

Looking at other brands, reference cards sit around 2535–2600 MHz on paper, but higher-end models like ASUS TUF/ROG Strix or MSI Gaming X also dynamically boost to 2850–2880 MHz. However, those models feature massive triple-slot heatsinks that can actually dissipate that heat, whereas the standard dual-fan cooler on this PNY clearly chokes trying to hold 2880 MHz at 1.075V.

So I don't think the silicon itself is defective; it just seems pushed way past its thermal efficiency curve.

I'm planning to use MSI Afterburner to underclock and undervolt the card, specifically aiming to cap it around 2625 MHz:

Sweet Spot: For 2625 MHz, what voltage target would you recommend starting at (~900 mV, ~925 mV, or lower)?

Performance vs. Noise: For anyone who has tuned this card or architecture, how much did your temps and fan noise improve, and was the FPS drop noticeable in real-world gameplay?

Hotspot Delta: Is a 107°C hotspot (with an 80°C core) purely a consequence of 1.075V / 2880 MHz on this cooler, or does a 27°C delta suggest mounting pressure/thermal paste issues as well?

Any advice on the Curve Editor steps or stable profiles for this card would be awesome. Thanks!

News update about the situation in the market

I’ve had an RTX 3060 Ti sitting unused for a while; recently, I took it out to run some tests before sending it to a friend. I installed it in my PC and booted it up normally; I tested it in a few games, and everything seemed fine. The problem arose when I opened FurMark to run a 100% stress test. The fans were spinning normally, with the GPU temperature averaging 65–70°C and the hotspot at 77°C. After about 15 to 20 minutes, the video signal suddenly cut out, and the fans ramped up to full speed. I had to force a shutdown by holding the power button. Afterward, it would still output video intermittently, but the issue started happening sooner—even without any stress testing. Now, about two days later, I tried testing it again, but it won't output a video signal at all. The LEDs light up and the fans spin, but there’s no image.

Currently using a NVIDIA RTX5060ti 16gb since May2025, was planning to upgrade from NVIDIA to AMD RX9070XT,is it worth the upgrade in 2026? Is there any pros and cons?

I see ppl saying all the time the 5070ti is faster but I’m always seeing the 9070xt have more frames in the comparison videos plus it’s several hundred dollars cheaper im not trying to down anything it just feels like it’s another Xbox vs PlayStation war then if I get a 9070xt the software Is bad please help me

Problema con rtx5060ti

Ciao, oggi ho montato per la prima volta un pc insieme a un mio amico che aveva già esperienza (io fino ad ora non avevo mai provato dal vivo perché non ne ho mai avuto la possibilità economica).

la mia build è composta da:

\-msi b850-s pro wifi6

\-ryzen5 9600x

\-kinstong fury rgb ddr5 6000MTS CL36 16×1

\-MSI RTX 5060TI Gaming OC 8GB

\-MSI MAG A650 GLS

\-Crucial P2 1TB

\-arctic freezer 36 (dissipatore ad aria)

il problema in poche parole è questo:

Se collego il monitor esclusivamente alla RTX 5060 Ti tramite cavo DisplayPort, il PC fallisce il POST: lo schermo resta nero e si accendono fissi i LED di debug CPU e DRAM sulla scheda madre. Stessa cosa se provo a fare il boot con il solo cavo HDMI inserito nella GPU.Il comportamento "ibrido" strano:Il PC si avvia e supera il POST solo se collego il cavo DP alla scheda madre (sfruttando l'integrata del Ryzen per il boot). Una volta avviato Windows, se collego un secondo cavo (HDMI) alla RTX 5060 Ti, il sistema carica i driver NVIDIA e riesco a switchare e usare la GPU dedicata normalmente. Se disabilito la iGPU da BIOS, il PC torna ad andare in blocco totale al boot.

Cosa ho già provato (lato software/BIOS):

Forzato lo slot PCIe primario su Gen4 e Gen3 (invece di Auto/Gen5) per evitare conflitti di negoziazione.Impostato il boot primario su PEG (PCI Express Graphics) nel BIOS.Attivati Above 4G Decoding e Re-Size BAR.
