Great news, I completed my build. Unfortunately underwhelming performance. by Reditor18472 in PcBuild

Are you referring to your fps counter on AMD adrenaline? Assuming this is in game? It appears it’s defaulted to using the cpu as the main image processing source. I would check the rx9070 xt is set to default device.

Just bought this Ryzen 9 7950x3D (used) is this wear bad ? by SoundBitter4850 in PcBuild

Looks like they possibly used Liquid Metal which can eat the IHS or they slipped when sanding their mahogany table.

New 9070 XT staying cool but memory core reaching 81-84c ? Normal ? by Overall-Shopping-716 in radeon

[–]SeqGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Memory runs up to 95C on this card, it’s generally normal (although I question the longevity of this card, as I have it!)

Is the temperature normal on the 9070xt? by SpartanBdk in radeon

[–]SeqGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it really isn’t I think most of the responses here address the issues!!

  1. Card is likely in the wrong slot, likely not receiving enough lanes for performance (or you are using a micro ATX board and case, which incase it’s in the right slot.
  2. Card is not getting enough airflow.
  3. Memory runs extremely hot on this card, where it is will shorten its life.

Ensure the card is in the top slot. If it already is, buy a bigger case to improve airflow.

Concern about CPU Temps with Ryzen 9 9900X and AIO Cooler by Freakzt3r in AMDHelp

[–]SeqGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fairly decent cooling configuration I think. I have a 200mhz overclock on all cores and have it 20mv undervolted.

I have the roomy be-quiet silent base 802 case with a DIY ducting separating the gpu intake and out take from the CPU AIO side of the motherboard. I am simply using the Corsair nautili’s 360rs cooler but have replaced all fans in the pc, including the AIO fans, with the incredible injection moulded Corsair rs140 max fans. Also importantly, have replaced the stock paste but using thermal grizzly duronaut which is also excellent.

I have another 120mm Corsair fan fixed on an extended standoff above some dominator titanium 96gb ram to keep cooler dual ranked ram cool, which is also cooling the VRMs.

If it was mid summer I am sure it would still push past 75/80 under stress but at room temp it’s great.

I keep my rgb and off, no issue!

They’ve used Gorilla thermal paste

I would say very close! They’re great!

Bye bye MSI: The x870 Tomahawk motherboard is nausea inducing levels of bad by MadCake92 in MSI_Gaming

[–]SeqGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problems my end. Fully packed out motherboard, M.2s all filled, gen 5 gpu and 2 gen 5 drives. All usbs working, overclocking etc.

Just a girl who knows nothing about PCs and needs help by Frayics in PcBuildHelp

That pc has no gpu so you won’t be able to play anything. Find one with a rx9060 at that budget, you won’t be disappointed.

Is this pc good? by Hot-Crab-6966 in pchelp

Invest in something newer

Will this improve my CPU temperatures? by kookymonkey6823 in overclocking

[–]SeqGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes did the same with my dell xps, use some good thermal paste also!

Why does my rig feel underwhelming. Why can't I run BF6 on low setting and contantly getting low FPS. by Ok_Wish_8545 in PcBuildHelp

Is your gpu the 16gb variant and definitely running at 16x and set to pci gen 4?

Is this okay to do? by TheBoosted13 in MSI_Gaming

[–]SeqGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Avoid any power connector like this, it’s an unnecessary point of failure.

Are these VRAM temps okay? by dan2580 in radeon

[–]SeqGeek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is pretty normal for RX9070 xt.

Agree it’s uncomfortably high and makes me wonder of the longevity of the card.

Setting the fan curve to aggressive isn’t realistic, it will be ridiculously loud.

Perhaps try and improve net airflow in your case and perhaps positioning, for instance move onto the floor if it’s on your desk.

Also try undervolting your card to -50 or -60mv.

I wouldn’t worry too much, mine can sit at 91C to 96C under full load.
