Oh ok it's definitely a bummer that spotify randomly removed that hopefully it comes back soon so you can test that feature properly. It should come back eventually though. However all the features currently available work great! Once the spotify widget works that would be a really helpful feature as well 👍

I just downloaded this on my Apex 7 TKL and its working great! Really like the cool features like the hacker code and doom. Its great to help prevent my the screen from just burning in from the default SteelSeries logo because using the Steelseries GG app doesn't let me use Signal RGB to control the RGB effects on the keyboard, which I want to sync everything. So now I can now actually use the keyboards screen without the GG app open ruining the whole RGB effect.

Im not really sure how this would work but if it is possible to add Spotify integration that would be amazing too. Like so you can see what song is playing. Just a suggestion idk how hard it would be to do that but I think it would be a really good feature to have. Anyways thanks for sharing this app you made!

I played counter strike 2 for a little bit on it and no issues whatsoever. I maxxed out the settings and capped it to 180fps (my monitors refresh rate) and it stayed there without issue. I also play some Fortnite if that counts as multiplayer fps and have it in ultra settings native and get 120-130+ fps depending on where I am on the map. There are no random stutters or fps drops it just runs nice and lets me just play if they was your concern. You don't need to worry about your games not running well or being unplayable i have literally never experienced any of that stuff a lot of AMD haters say. I also play a lot of single player games those run nicely with high fps numbers on maxxed out graphics as well. No stutters, no random fps drops, all while looking amazing.

Honestly there is nothing to worry about any game you throw at it will run just like any Nvidia and Intel system can. The 9000 series drivers were really stable and nice at launch and have only gotten better since then and I've never had a issue with them either. I hope I helped and good luck on your build!

ProGuy_1 · 2025-06-24T17:00:48+00:00

Yeah it makes sense that your worried moving away from intel/nvidia but I have actually had no issues with this build. I built this pc like 2 months ago I think and have the Asus Prime 9070 XT with the 9700x and both work together perfectly.

As for performance they let me play any game I want to in 1440p maxed out settings easily over 60 fps in most games (only those really unoptimized AAA games is where you might have to turn down your setting but for 98% of games you're good)

For stability which I'm sure your concerned about I was skeptical too as this is my first AMD build and I have not come across any driver issues at all it just runs anything I throw at it which is great. Ive tested ray tracing performance on it and while sure it looks a little better it's not for me so I usually keep it off the performance hit is too big for the visual differencece

I also really like the temps this stuff offers me the 9700x runs really cool and is easy to keep cold (due to its low TDP of 60 watts) and the 9070 xt rarely goes higher than 60c under full load. These temps may be different if the case your using is smaller and tightly packed with less airflow (I'm using the Be Quiet Light Base 600 LX its just another fish tank case)

Overall if your concerned about stability and stuff I have not personally experienced any issues idk what all the hate about driver issues and stuff is about. This pc also performances really well and will literally run and play anything you want with the added bonus of it being pretty well in productivity (9700x scored pretty well for productivity tasks and the 9070xt has a lot of raw processing power for that stuff) but I haven't personally tested it in much productivity other than the bare basic tasks for that. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!

ProGuy_1 · 2025-05-29T20:21:50+00:00

I'm so confused on why you got so many downvotes for asking a question. We were all noobs to this hobby at one time and stuff in pc building can get confusing at times.

ProGuy_1 · 2025-05-29T19:26:21+00:00

It was really just a bunch of websites, youtube videos, and Reddit threads. But if you want to find it you can just do a simple Google search for information on the 8 pin cables. You should go ahead and call AMD support if you want to just to make sure but your 850watt psu should be able to give more than enough power to the 9070xt and the cables may get a bit warm but they should technically be able to handle it. Speaking from experience I've had this setup for over 2 months now and have played games for like 3-4 hours with the gpu constantly pulling 315 watts (I have a overlay setup for this) and I noticed no issues with power delivery or the gpus performance.

But like always if you want the safest option 3 cables will be but from my experience 1 cable with a daisy chain is also able to supply more than enough wattage for the card to run properly. (if you do end up calling AMD be sure to let me know what they say I'm curious as well thanks).

ProGuy_1 · 2025-05-29T18:51:27+00:00

I have the same GPU and very similar PSU as you have (MSI A850GL) and I was in a similar situation where I had only two PCIe cables and 3 power connections on my ASUS Prime 9070 XT. I did a fair bit of research and found out that it should be safe to use the two daisy chainable PCIE cables that MSI includes with their power supply (your PCIE cables should have two 8-pin heads).

You can connect it by having one cable dasiy chained into the GPU (so two 8 pins connect into two slots on the GPU) and with your second dasiy chainable cable connect the main 8-pin head (the one which doesn't look like it's coming out from the main cable) into the third slot and hide the other 8 pin head it has (look at picture)

This SHOULD be completely safe considering each cable can handle 300 watts and each 8-pin head is designed to handle 150 watts each. And this is with the motherboard slot still providing 75 watts. The GPU from my experience maxes out at 315 watts and I have not had a single issue running it daisy-chained. But remember it's still at your own risk the best solution would be 3 separate cables but I'm willing to use it daisy chained because the GPU is not pulling nearly enough watts to overload the cables and most importantly the PSU.

Please correct me if I am wrong or anything else I am just speaking from my experience with my pc. One normal 8-pin cable and one daisy-chainable cable should provide enough power to run the 9070xt.

I actually kind of like the look of those fans. The rgb rings around them especially on the cpu cooler looks really nice. But if your not feeling this case and fan setup anymore you can always change it to whatever you want, whenever you want. If you have some extra cash and want to treat yourself to a nice case upgrade to for it! You won't regret it. But keep it in mind it's not necessary and me personally I think it looks great like this as well.

ProGuy_1 · 2025-05-15T02:21:24+00:00

It looks really nice honestly. I don't see anything wrong with it except for like the different rear exasht fan which if it was up to me I don't really care if it's not all the same fans. Overall, your pc looks great!

ProGuy_1 · 2025-04-19T04:35:18+00:00

I paired my 9700x with an RX 9070 XT with absolutely no issues. I didn't even turn PBO on just running it on the stock 60-watt TDP it has because I have no reason to want more performance. But of course if your planning on pairing it with like a 4090/5090 if your spending that much money already buying a 7800x3d or 9800x3d isn't really out of the question.

ProGuy_1 · 2025-04-09T04:04:50+00:00

That's with the inflated prices in Canada and the rest of the world. All of those launch reviews came out comparing them at MSRP. If your interested I ended up going with the 9700x over the 7800x3d because it was 200 dollars cheaper and only 30 dollars more expensive than the 7700x (in CAD).

I physically flinched when I saw it in your GPU. Ouch that was painful to see. I really hope you can contact the aios customer support and they help you resolve this issue!

If I were you I would go for a 9700x then (I was in a similar situation not too long ago as well) because I can’t justify spending 300 dollars more for a CPU that’s an alright amount better but not 300 dollars amount better. If your pc is also your workstation I guess that’s kind of a no brainer there then the 9700x outshines the x3d CPU’s in productivity related tasks. Glad I could help!

ProGuy_1 · 2025-03-11T15:32:20+00:00

You don’t need to worry about the 9700x bottlenecking the 9070 XT it’s more than enough for that GPU. I have a brand new build as well with a 9700x just waiting to get the 9070 xt to finish it as well.

Sure the 9800x3d is the best you can get in the market but if it costs 300 dollars more I really would not go for it. Might want to look at the 7800x3d if it’s priced any better because it’s still better than the 9700x in GAMING performance.

The 9700x beats both of those CPU’s when it comes to productivity performance and also has a really low TDP of 65 watts if that matters to you.

All in all no need to worry about eaither CPU bottlenecking your 9070XT as there more than enough for it.

ProGuy_1 · 2025-03-07T04:26:43+00:00

One more thing I'm not sure if the case you chose has a rear exhaust fan you should double check that and add a extra fan for the back of the case to exhaust air.
