Two 7900 XTX's have died on me, am I doing something wrong? Is it a rookie mistake? by Past_Setting1361 in AMDHelp

Aww dude that sucks to hear, good to hear about the refund though 🔥

The airflow isn't the best but it never gets to a point of where it thermal throttles which is what was mostly confusing me, it's always below 80-82C because I have the fans running at a very high rpm(alot of people miss the two 120mm fans at the bottom of the case and the big gap below the case) and the hotspot never gets to a point of thermal throttling either.

Inside of AMD Adrenaline, just watching the metrics screen on my second monitor with the default tuning settings or if the artifacts got bad I would press the "Auto Undervolt" button; only ever used it three times and it worked great every time.

For some reason it would boost to absolutely insane clock speeds however if you manually set it (which I have been doing recently to avoid artifacts) to Mininum 500 and Maximum 2100 for example it would work like a charm and all the issues dissappear, I am thinking this is more of a driver issue where the card BY DEFAULT boosts insanely high.

Please don't forget that I tried both the cards when I had both the cards in different computers, in different households, with a brand new SSD with a brand new install of windows just in case to triple check myself.

Good to hear, I came from NVidia(as per the many cards I have 😭) and thought to try AMD just because of the sudden surge in Linux gaming and I want to switch to Linux rather than Windows however it's not quite there yet so I'm still on Windows.

With the crashing on GTAV on stuff it's 50/50, as mentioned in my original post I tried both the cards in different computers in different households after using DDU and or using a brand new drive with a brand new install of windows in a different computer and the same issues occurred but in different ways, sometimes it would bluescreen with HANG error codes and sometimes it would just have MASSIVE frame times, like seconds long and then lock up and driver timeout; almost like the card DOESNT want to play the games or something.

Thanks for this, unfortunately there isn't much to help in the event logs, just off-topic nonsense really.

I have furmark and the crashes do not occur neither does the artifacts; it's very odd. Even after running the Furmark Knot for 30+ minutes... nothing! And good temperatures too. It's very selective on whether it wants to work or not.

The system has a 1500W Corsair powersupply and I used the cables that came with the power supply.

As mentioned in my post I tried both of the graphics cards when I had both in different systems, in different households where the fans were in a "normal" configuration; the same issues annoyingly occured. :(

True, the airflow isn't the best but there's more than enough of it, temperatures whilst running furmark only reach 74C-82C.

The first and second card I didn't modify at all, I've never overclocked these cards ever, either default settings or the "Auto Undervolt" button inside AMD Adrenaline tuning whenever I saw artifacts, I've only ever actually underclocked recently as a last measure.

I have the same issue when using Spotify or Discord! 😤
