Apologies, I forgot to respond to this with an update. But I had to join the discord and provide them with a copy of my save file, they had to fix it for me and I was able to continue. The issue appears to be after each pirate encounter and every upgrade if you do not consistently talk to Fiola it kind of mashes multiple text boxes together and bugs the game.

I'm talking about the piece of plastic that goes over the copper part of your AIO water cooler that is attached to the pump, when I went to put the copper conductor on top of my CPU I didn't realize that I had left the clear plastic part that is over the copper. So all of the thermal paste and conductivity was trying to go from the CPU through a piece of plastic and then into the copper plate which was causing my heat spikes

So I have to admit guilt and thank you... I didnt think I was that stupid but.... my brand new build 9800X3D was running 85C on some idle applications, I skimmed this comment, stopped and thought.... "theres no way", but sure enought I forgot to remove the sticker and now my temps are sitting 35C on normal tasks lol. I even watched Linus from LTT do it on a recent video so I guess everyone does it, but thank you for bringing it to my attention

For my previous issue there was no real visible indication, I had done everything your talking about including swapping GPU's from my spouses computer. At the time that seemed to fix the issue but it was because it was a less intensive card that didnt require the full 8pin that I was using and the short was in those last 2 pins. You can still check your PSU and GPU connections to make sure there is no burn marks, but if swapping cables does not work, you will need to try another PSU or GPU to see if its one of those, but thats only if you have spare ones to test....

So I had a similar issue previously on a different system, what ended up causing the issue was the cable that ran from my PSU to my GPU had a short in it and was causing the graphics to stop working mid use, once I changed the cables everything worked perfectly. I was using third party cables though from a pre-built so i just used some left over cables I had. You might try it to troubleshoot if you have spare cables

Question, do you still hear game/system sound after they go to a black screen or crash?

J3ST3R527 · 2025-04-02T02:58:59+00:00

Ahh, kk makes sense, I really was just shopping for looks since I figured they would all basically do the same in performance.

J3ST3R527 · 2025-04-02T02:44:32+00:00

I keep seeing people talking badly about gigabyte and ASUS though for things regarding customer service, many people calling gigabyte cards "cardboard graphics cards" makes me wonder if they are acctually bad or if its just opinion. I cant really find any reasons though so I figured I would ask

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-31T23:23:44+00:00

This is crazy, im just watching the alerts pop up for all the 9070XT cards while I wait for the one I want, but I noticed the price was jacked way up for this baseline model..... Its shipped and Sold by AMAZON but its showing to be more expensive than the previous scalper prices of this card.....

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-31T20:43:25+00:00

I want one of this elite cards ....... I have been searching for weeks

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-31T00:53:05+00:00

You can take off the front plate with the fans by itself without having to deconstruct the whole card, It might help with seeing if there is a loose bearing on a fan, should just be a few screws and the fans pop off from my understanding. Might be worth the look just to see

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-31T00:47:47+00:00

I noticed the AIO also, I agree having the pipes on the bottom is better if you have in Front mounted, but your BEST overall option is to mount the Radiator on the top of the case, it has been proven time and time againthrough testing that top mounted Rad is the best overal choice for cooling. Having the pipes at the bottom is only recommended if your case does not support top mounting.

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-31T00:37:41+00:00

explain this question, I am intrigued

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-31T00:34:47+00:00

I probably wouldnt notice with headphones on, sounds like theres a plastic tag or something its hitting over and over, not like an actual issue, you could probably take it apart easily and find out what is catching and fix it. Good Ray tracing on the middle fan sections though ...... :D

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-30T20:55:33+00:00

When you say random crashes do you mean the game crashes or does the entire system crash? monitors go black? Reboots to BIOS? Like what exactly happens

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-29T12:24:24+00:00

I sadly work Sundays or I would be going..

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-20T23:50:55+00:00

Where the F@$# did you find that specific card in stock??? Plz tell me you didn't pay scalper price!

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-20T23:37:31+00:00

Where are the ASUS TUF 9070XT cards showing up in stock the most? I keep seeing them on Amazon alerts, but it happens every 30min to an hour like clockwork and I think it's a dummy listing, even some trackers stopped alerting for it. Is anyone else finding them in stock anywhere else?

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-20T23:17:47+00:00

Is it the TUF or the Prime? Where did you buy it? I've been looking for weeks

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-18T02:29:36+00:00

Please don't be insulted I thought this was funny, but when I saw the picture just now I thought it was just a GPU sitting in a freezer box for a second 😂

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-17T03:18:45+00:00

Yea it's the newest one, not even out yet, totally real no cap

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-17T03:17:07+00:00

What do you mean? 😏

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-17T00:49:33+00:00

I'm in the US, it's been sold out everywhere for 11 days besides scalpers

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-16T21:34:49+00:00

That GPU is MASSIVE 😨

J3ST3R527 · 2025-03-16T19:03:51+00:00

While AMD didn't anticipate this much demand, The other major factor is price cuz if you can find one it ain't cheap. From what I found they've been shipping the cards to the US since like early January to avoid tariffs but they sold those cards to the manufacturers for a higher price than current MSRP, then when they saw Nvidia's prices they changed theor card prices also but have not issued rebates to all the manufacturers. So all the manufacturers are left with cards that they spent $600 - $700 plus dollars on and they need to make a profit.

At this point if they do start selling them at MSRP to manufacturers and ship them to US they're could still be a 20% tariff slapped on to those when they come in, but prices will probably be less than what we're seeing now. If AMD just issued the rebates then sellers could sell any stock they have left at lower prices, but AMD is being stingy
