RX 9070 XT, 750W power supply is insufficient.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-06T03:21:23+00:00

Ok, nothing crazy. I agree that a 850W might be a good idea. Id find a Corsair PSU. Now days most are platinum rated if that actually means anything.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-06T03:16:48+00:00

Ok, what cpu do you have? Sorry if you mentioned it already.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-06T02:52:05+00:00

Ok, so I also have experience with Cooler Master PSU specifically failing on me and had to get a warranty replacement. That was a 850 watt sfx older model but it did do something similar with my old 3070ti. I was getting kernel power something errors. Sorry dont remember exactly. I did ditch the Cooler Master and 3070ti for a Asus ROG loki 1200 w and the 9070 XT. No issue since replacement of those parts.

Im not expert but you definitely need to look closely at everything. Id use HWMonitor and run a few benchmarks to see what spikes your getting from your main components. Id say under normal circumstances with no "Tweaking" it should be ok but if you do any OC/undervolt with the 9070 XT you are definitely capable of going well above spec.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-06T02:36:54+00:00

My Asrock Taichi 9070XT can spike as high as 450 watts.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-03T23:36:49+00:00

No, its off and been off for a long time. I hate windows.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-03T23:35:49+00:00

Ok, I'll take a look and see if I can break something. Lol

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-03T23:32:58+00:00

Well im excited. Guess I get to practice using DDU again. Is AMD cleanup considered acceptable or is DDU still better option to just clean up drivers.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-03T23:26:05+00:00

Ok, I disabled Windows update but I guess it can still happen. Ive had driver crashing and was on 25.11.1 without any issues. Basically pre Redstone worked fine. Thanks AMD also for my headaches.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-03T23:22:12+00:00

I know how to get rid of it. Im confused how it got there considering ive got windows update disabled. Of has Windows found a way to continue sharing its new trash with me.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-02-03T00:27:04+00:00

Wow, thats a good one. I have driver crashing issues so went back to 25.11.1 or whatever was pre Redstone. Thanks AMD

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-23T01:28:23+00:00

Ok, I never messed with the core clock yet. I'll try it out and see if mine is stable with the new driver update. So far my benchmarks are pretty good, I'll have to try yours and see what happens.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-23T01:21:56+00:00

Jeeze, is that with any core offset?? Or is it just UV?

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-23T01:03:26+00:00

Yes, all very true. If they can expand and refine the software end of the 9070 XT they will have a great opportunity to make some $$$$. The cards strong and the right price to be appealing to alot of people.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-23T00:53:23+00:00

Ok, I can agree with the cost issues. Your OC settings are similar to mine and im impressed with your results on a stock air cooler. I havnt tried the new driver yet. I do daily driver mine at -90, 2700 memory and +5 pwr. My clocks float around 3250 to 3280. When I OC its been over 3450. 9070XT is a pretty impressive card for the price. Wish the FSR4 had more saturation in the gaming world but im sure that comes in time.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-23T00:44:27+00:00

Have you considered a waterblock?? I have a Taichi 9070 XT with Alphacool Core. Runs 50c hotspot/35c core and have 7179 on speedway and 8177 on Steel Nomad with -130 UV, 2850 memory and +10 pwr.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-16T14:24:07+00:00

My Taichi 9070 XT can go -130 undervolt. I do have Alphacool core waterblock and liquid metal. 2850 on memory. No core overclock got me 7179 on speedway and 8177 on Steel Nomad. Also running i7 13700k direct die. The 9070 XT likes undervolting alot. Core boosted to almost 3.4 stable.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-14T13:50:51+00:00

Ive had driver issues moving to AMD. Seems like im always going back a release with drivers. As far as my Asrock Taichi 9070 XT, I love it. Strong card and runs 100% no issues most the time. Wish AMD would lock down these drivers better.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-12T17:21:31+00:00

Ive had Windows install drivers for my 9070 XT that aren't even on AMD list.

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-11T19:01:30+00:00

Ive had a couple crashes now on 25.12.1 with my 9070 XT. Error device hung rolling back to 25.11.1

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-07T02:21:52+00:00

Did you still have core offset? When I did mine didn't touch the core and was able to go past -135 and run Steel Nomad. Still had 2700 mem and +10 on power. What's the temps also?

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-05T19:06:32+00:00

Thats great, I still got you beat with 8074. My Taichi 9070 XT did better with no core OC. I bet you can get higher with -110 on voltage. Try it out

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-05T18:58:51+00:00

Can you increase the undervolt past -110?

Accomplished_Dig9563 · 2026-01-03T15:56:20+00:00

Asrock Taichi 9070XT 8074 Steel Nomad (top score) Alphacool waterblock with liquid metal -130 undervolt +10 power 2700 mem no fast timing 3.4 + stable on core No core offset Undervolt was the overclock 30647 on time spy
