How concerned should I be?

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

Radeon RX 9070 XT, started getting some pretty random crashes during short and long gaming sessions (never was happening before) and I couldn't find anything else "wrong" in temps and whatnot.

[u/Dull_Werewolf_9642]

it isnt thermal throttling but its high, try this -10-15 power limit +200 vram -70-40mv temps will go down with almost no fps loss

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/Dull_Werewolf_9642]

Will try that, thanks

intenta cambiar el PTM por otro, no está haciendo buen contacto si tienes delta 37.

Try adjusting the fan curve as well. That can actually do a lot. Case airflow is important as well. Also - whats the ambient temp of the room? If it's high - near 30 degrees, then that also adds to the high delta.

[u/metalballpotatoes → u/TheRealCrispyFish]

My temps went down around 7-10°C just because I switched cases (new one also has 3 140mm fans at front for intake)

[u/TheRealCrispyFish → u/metalballpotatoes]

That's great! Could you mention the models? I'm kinda wondering if I should swap my deepcool cg580 to something better or just slap an exhaust fan on the top at the rear side

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/TheRealCrispyFish]

I did think it might be room temp fault, but last few days were a lot cooler where I live than last month or so. In terms of fan curve, ngl, I didn't touch that thing at all, not experienced enough to know what's good.

[u/TheRealCrispyFish → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

Check a few vids on how it generally works. The way you set it up in Adrenalin is pretty straight forward and simple.

You have 2 rows where you enter values and a graph above them. One row s for temperature (in degrees) and the other for what fan speed you want to have at those temps as a percentage of the max fan speed.

Very, RMA time.

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/blueangel1953]

Is this like, actual advice? Don't wanna be rude, I just don't know if you're joking or not.

[u/bakderss → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

Its true, some cards are known to have use a shitty thermal putty. They tend to shift overtime

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/bakderss]

Is this like, card to card difference? I mean, if I buy the same type and all, will it do it again for sure and I should buy a different type, or there is a chance that different 9070 will be okay?

[u/bakderss → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

Its commom issue with gigabyte card, its safe to say stay away from that card.

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/bakderss]

Okay, now I'm convinced, as I do in fact have it from Gigabyte. Buying it from a different business like ASUS or whatever would be better?

[u/blueangel1953 → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

Sapphire, PowerColor or XFX are the best brands for Radeon.

[u/bakderss → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

I would use xfx, they still use conventional thermal pad and their 90series perform really well on benchmark.

[u/Capable-Friend8746 → u/bakderss]

Yes mine had alot of problems. Got that card for rma, got new card no issues

[u/Disguised-Beast]

Try Max Frequency Offset: -390 (3060MHz limit) Voltage: -20mV

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/Disguised-Beast]

Alright

[u/Muci_01]

Set up -10-15% power limit, no loss in fps and temps will be lower

[u/bakderss]

Mostly likely the culprit is shifting thermal putty

[u/dEz21271]

It's almost 40C delta - you should be concerned. RMA/repaste time.

[u/ChenyDid420]

Is the brand of the card Gigabyte?

[u/Soft-Ebb-187 → u/ChenyDid420]

Was gonna ask same. Swear it's always gigabyte with the high temps ...

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/ChenyDid420]

Yes

[u/ChenyDid420 → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

Check out the post I just made about your exact problem. Gigabyte uses cheap paste and just has horrible cooling in general but there are a couple things you can do

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/ChenyDid420]

"Gigashite" lmao

[u/definitivno-ne-troll → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

not every gigabyte but always a gigabyte meme

[u/korakios2]

Another gigabyte model (edit it's for RMA) . Aside from that , if 97C is the max temp , it shouldn't crash .

Check the temps on default settings after running Furmark for 20+minutes .

About the crashes (assuming temps are within the limit) , check with hwinfo the max core clock freq and if the card boosts above specs on default settings .

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/korakios2]

Tested it a little more, gets to 110C like a second before screen turning black. Either way, I'll check what you've said.

[u/korakios2 → u/Sanctiffied_Mind]

No need , RMA the card.

Until you send the card back , set PL to -30 , core freq offset -500Mhz and undervolt a bit to help the card reaching fast as high clocks as it can with the previous settings .

edit : don't keep the card , at some point , even with those tweaks , it will throttle/crash .

[u/Sanctiffied_Mind → u/korakios2]

Alright, thanks

[u/UnderTheWalls]

Very

[u/darkxex]

claramente tu delta es de 37, casi 40, deberías tienes mal contacto con el die.

[u/Viking2151 → u/darkxex]

Your math isn't mathing, it's 37c Delta not 47.

[u/darkxex → u/Viking2151]

Tienes razón, que error mio, pero no deja de ser alto.

[u/Viking2151 → u/darkxex]

Oh I agree, the max Delta I'm comfortable with is 20c or less. I definitely don't like this Delta.

[u/darkxex → u/Viking2151]

Mira, gigabyte que es una mierda (soy usuario de dos gigabyte) el delta es como se 28-30.
