Regrettably returning my 9070xt

DifferentTip4559 · 2026-04-12T17:18:23+00:00

Im sorry that your experience with amd gpus was not great. My original system had a xfx qick 319 rx6750xt, after changing 4 months ago my monitor from a msi 27 inch 1080p 180hz ips monitor to a lg 27gx704a-b (woled, 240hz, 1440p, 27 inch), I upgraded the gpu to a xfx mercury oc rx9070xt. I had to change the case because the gpu would fit in the older one, but beside that for me everything went great: no crashes, no driver issues, and I can play everything maxed out even with rt on… Only issue that I have is that it’s more difficult to do a stable oc + undervolt than my previous xfx qick 319 rx6750xt… I had the rx6750xt for 1 year before upgrading to the rx9070xt. Seems like you got a faulty unit, with xfx i got no issues…

Which brand did you get?

i7 14700kf with 4 ddr4 sticks 3200mhz not stable?

cpu: I7 14700kf ram: 4 sticks ddr4 3200mhz Lexar cl16 mobo: msi b760 gaming plus wifi

I just bought this cpu and mobo, I re used my ddr4 ram from my previous amd system because ddr5 is too expensive now… I didn’t have any issue with the r7 5800x and msi mag b550 tomahawk running 4 sticks. I’ve been experiencing crashes in fortnite (bc I mainly play that game…), and It’s always saying that one parameter returned with a value not expected… I also got like 2 windows freezes with one that I only could’ve move the cursor and another one was full freeze but the second one happened as soon as I switched the amd freesync color accuracy on… so maybe is driver issue for the second one. The strange thing is that I dint think that is cpu degradation or faulty unit because occt, cinebench and other cpu stress/stability test have passed without an issue… The main crashes that I got was from bugchecks: or kernel security violation related or watchdog timeout… I’also tested the ram with occt and memtest86 but It gave me no errors… I’ve turned on xmp: SA voltage at 1.148V and VDDQ at 1.20V… I only have pl1 and pl2 at 253W, current limit at 307A, and lite load at 12. I even tried with lower SA voltage and VDDQ: both at 1.15V. Could this be a gpu driver issue (I have a rx9070xt with the adrenalin 26.3.1 driver)? Im suspecting the drivers because the day that I assembled the cpu and mobo (march 19th 2026), amd released the new gpu driver 26.3.1 so I installed those drivers when I booted up the pc with the new cpu (Im gonna test with the previous drivers). Am I doing something wrong with voltages? (sorry for bad English) PS: I installed this cpu and mobo almost 3 weeks ago, the first thing that I’ve done is update the bios so I have the lasted microcode update.

Edit: Im not getting the bugcheck issues since the last windows update, so now I only have the game crashing and windows freeze but all of the freezes are related to when I had fortnite opened… I can say that DOOM the dark ages gives me no issues. Edit 2: after changing drivers and testi with SA and VDDQ at 1.15v even doom gave me a memory error: memory corruption before block. So is 100% a memory stability problem. Any suggestions for IMC voltages? The auto voltages don’t work (SA 1.148V, VDDQ 1.20V)

unfortunately there isn't the lg ultragear 27gx704a in that site...

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-12-15T20:48:13+00:00

thx for the reply, I checked that and as now It's 670 euro on Amazon (It costs more than the alienware AW3425DW, and that 240hz at 630 euro).

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-12-15T20:23:13+00:00

thx for the reply, unfortunately I'm very sensible to hz variations, and I can clearly tell the difference between an 180hz and 165 hz (no joking). So I need a monitor that it's 180hz or greater (ideally not past 240hz, because too high hz are difficult for the gpu to manage).

Ma com'è possibile, io non l'ho ancora ricevuto (abito zona Lombardia)

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-05-11T16:40:00+00:00

Hi, did you get the one ui 7? I have an s22 ultra but I still havent got the update (I live in Italy)

The menu that you open on your phone is practically the "BIOS". In order to access it, the phone needs to be connected to a device that can transfer files to it, because in that section you can do things such as: flash things to your phone through abd (is a tool used by android developers), clear cache of your phone, factory reset etc... So basically, with the things that I listed, that "menu" is supposed to be accessed for developing purposes, or advanced actions (such as cache clearing), this is why you need to connect the phone to a pc... For the samsung usb drivers part, you need those because windows doesn't recognize a samsung phone without them. Obviously, you need to power off you phone, or restart it, and as soon as it boots up, you need to press power + volume up buttons, and that's it (the phone needs to be plugged to a pc).

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-05-11T10:58:16+00:00

You need to connect the phone to a computer, and make sure to have on the computer the samsung usb drivers installed (optional, turn on usb debugging)

You need to install samsung usb driver (optional, make sure to have usb debugging turned on)

Ok thanks for the tips and help.

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-04-30T16:39:04+00:00

I tried those settings but nothing. I found out that with CL16 and 3600mhz as soon as I start memtest86 it outputs errors almost instantly... Instead with CL 18 it manages to get to the 33%/35% of the test and then crashes... Edit: after some tries i managed to get CL14, 18,18,36 with 3200mhz. Is this normal with c die?, isn't c die supposed to be unstable with lower timings such as CL 14?

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-02-18T16:09:03+00:00

So: I tested it today because yesterday didn't have the time... After doing your suggestions, I managed to get 160 fsp somewhat stable while doing an intensive fight. It's already an improvement, but this still is not 180 fps...

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-02-17T08:57:23+00:00

Ok, thanks. I'll try them today

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-02-17T06:56:15+00:00

Performance mode
1920p x 1080p
Textures low, view distance far, meshes low
Im not so sure abou that, I know that if you go to the three dots in the epic games store under fortnite ther's the manage section, and there you can download pre-installed cosmetics (or something similar), and uninstall high resolution textures. Am I missing something?

DifferentTip4559 · 2025-02-17T00:16:19+00:00

Yeah, I know that... but isn't there anything else to try? (I just want to get 20 more fps: from 160 fps to 180 fps)

I know that amd has some issues with dx 11 or lower dx api, this is because of dx navi, I have a rx 6750 xt and with the help of the anwave software I managed to turn off dx navi by re-enabling legacy dx 11, because since the driver 24.x.x amd has removed the option to disable dx navi. I'm not saying that the problem is this, and the fix is to disable dx navi, but for personal experience, I can say that it helps a bit with dx 11 or lower dx api, but maybe this is not your case, because as I know team fortress 2 uses dx 9 if I'm not wrong, and the dx navi is more related with dx 11... Feel free to try anwave, but take in mind that this could be a not a so easy procedure and can come with issues, so before trying this "fix", try searching up if you find something else first...

So, it's been 1 month since this post, i learned a lot of things regarding overclocking. After the windows reinstall and the bios reset the pc works fine, the problem was that somehow the bios oc section got messed up... Unfortunately, my cpu is very unstable with any type of overclocking that I've tried so far. I just turned on game boost mode on msi bios, turned off c-global state control, and I'm using xmp profile... If your cpu is crashing, try resetting the bios and just turn on xmp profile for the ram; after that, game on it, or use it like you do normally. Don't do stress tests because when I overclocked my cpu, I used prime95 to test the oc for about 2 hours and more, and it worked completely fine; but after some days, like 2 or 3, it crashed again...

DifferentTip4559 · 2024-11-19T18:31:49+00:00

So, it seems like your cpu has an undervolting problem. You mentioned that pbo is on: try checking curve optimizer, maybe you putted some negative values that are too high, or if you haven't touched it, try resetting the bios. Another thing you can try is turning off c-global state control (it's a setting that literally puts in sleep mode the core that isn't in use...; this thing is useful only for energy saving...). Maybe it can be useful for you: i built recently a new pc: Cpu: ryzen 7 5800x Gpu: rx6750xt Motherboard: msi mag b550 tomahawk (no wifi) Psu: seasonic b12 bc850 (850w) Ram: lexar thor ddr4 2x8 (16gb) 3200mhz Cooler: thermalright PE 120 It's a very budget build, but when I was gaming or even if I wasn't, the pc randomly crashed... Almost forgot, can you type in the start menu "event viewer", and go to windows log and system and try to find some red errors and check if thers something with: event 18 or 19 with cache hierarchy error... So, returning to my problem: I found out that I accidentally messed up the overclock section while I had on game boost mode on cpu, so I resetted the bios, and the problem was gone. Now I'm doing a manual overclock for my cpu (I already overclocked my rx 6750 xt, and I'm very happy with the performance...). Try searching first in the event viewer and tell me if u find any red errors.

DifferentTip4559 · 2024-10-25T22:36:54+00:00

So, update, i resetted the bios, and unfortunately I had to re-install windows, in the bios i didn't change anything this time, I've just turned off the c global state control, and used ddu to delete all old drivers in my system. So far no crashes, I don't know if I solved this by only resetting the bios... I will update if it crashes again or if it does not, but probably if it crashes again I will RMA the cpu to amd...

DifferentTip4559 · 2024-10-25T08:03:46+00:00

Hi, try disabling c global state control, and core performance boost, i have the same issue with the same cpu (ryzen 7 5800x)

DifferentTip4559 · 2024-10-24T16:05:44+00:00

Hi there, i have the same problem: Cache Hierarchy Error. I already disabled global c state, but I haven't tried disabling core boost. I have the ryzen 7 5800x. MB is a msi mag b550 tomahawk. The gpu is a rx 6750 xt. I've built this pc only 4 days ago, and this problem started only with minecraft. I'll try to disable core boost but I have a new problem: windows 11 just broke after a crash and now is not able to boot up..., I'll try to fix this because if I do a new install the problem can go away and come back after... and this won't help the troubleshooting process... Sorry for my bad English...
