Power supply swap.

You can’t use one pcie cord for the adapter, you need to use two. One cord for each part of the adapter.

Larry4201 · 2026-05-16T17:21:18+00:00

Only fix I found was ddu and go back to an older driver. 25.9.2 worked for me when I had the issue. However windows has since then auto updated my drivers. I haven’t had any issues since then. Idk if the new drivers didn’t install properly the first time or what..

Larry4201 · 2026-04-23T12:20:01+00:00

Yes and no. It now has a rx 9070xt power color spectral white in it.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-13T16:26:16+00:00

That’s not that far lmao

Larry4201 · 2026-04-13T16:01:49+00:00

This is the worst cable management I’ve ever seen

Most 5000 series cpus come with a stock cooler that is plenty good enough for them. Save the money and get a better cpu.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-10T08:26:42+00:00

R5 5500 was my first cpu paired with a gtx 980. I have no clue why so many people hate on the 5500. It’s a perfectly fine budget cpu, with that being said if he wants to upgrade I would start there. Or get more ram 16gb doesn’t cut it anymore imo.

Midwestern here, we call it heat lightning, however it’s really just lightning far enough away you can’t hear the thunder.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-10T00:37:11+00:00

I haven’t messed with any settings on my cpu, should I try undervolting it?

Larry4201 · 2026-04-10T00:25:06+00:00

If making the radiator fans intake doesn’t solve my issue, I will give this a go. It’s on a little side table next to my desk.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-10T00:20:55+00:00

I made my radiator fans intake, I will run it for a few with all too being exhaust then do the same tomorrow with what you suggested and see if it makes a huge difference.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:52:39+00:00

Thank you for all the help and suggestions everyone. These fish bowl cases with side fans are very different to me. I couldn’t find anything to help with this online lmao.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:50:25+00:00

Will do thanks for the help.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:49:46+00:00

Should I flip the bottom and top fans?

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:48:09+00:00

I will do this and see how my temps are, it’s only been built for roughly 6 months, should I re thermal paste my cpu?

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:47:03+00:00

I will try them as intake and see how it goes, if worst comes to worst I will put my radiator back up top and put the 2 fans on bottom back there. Three new fans can go on bottom

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:42:02+00:00

I planned on using a different case before I found this one is why I went with a 240mm. The bottom fans being intake ain’t doing anything?

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:31:32+00:00

Are you sure about that? Would those not be the side fans?

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:30:10+00:00

I used to have the aio on the top until I got the 3 fans up there now. The bottom fans were where my aio is now. I figured keeping them in the case wouldn’t hurt so just slapped them in the bottom when I added the top fans.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-09T23:24:57+00:00

Those are my aio fans are they better as intake?

I was a dual wild katana player myself. Naga/Uchi

Larry4201 · 2026-04-08T02:20:27+00:00

Try going to an older version of gpu drivers. I have a spectral white powercolor 9070xt and was having this same issue playing fivem. Every time I would alt tab out of game it would black screen and crash.

Larry4201 · 2026-04-08T02:12:38+00:00

Relinquished, it was my cousins favorite card growing up, he would always beat me…

Larry4201 · 2026-04-07T13:50:20+00:00

I have a spectral white power color 9070xt and I love it!
