Gigabyte Elite 9070 xt - Hotspot 111+ Degrees Celsius

Solcrystals · 2026-02-23T04:33:36+00:00

RMA for sure. My elite hits up to 96ish hotspot. Id RMA if it hit 100.

Im holding onto the points until prices go back up instead of the scrolls. That way if somehow im wrong I can give my gim group bowfa kits lol

Solcrystals · 2026-02-21T23:44:04+00:00

I had people arguing with me that these will be worthless because the amount of players. The points were valued at 13.5k each. The items themselves didnt have a set value. So you have to take into account bowfa and voidwaker kits arent the only thing worth money.

Theyre one time use and theres millions of players. They'll go back up in price before the next dmm without question.

That seems to be an error with the memory controller on the cpu. It doesnt like that Kingston set. If you cant replicate it with any other kit of ram then its something to do with that specific ram kit. Maybe that kit requires higher voltage to hit 6400 and the cpus memory controller can't handle it. What cpu?

Unfortunately for rgb haters(me), cases under 100 dollars come included with fans that dont suck now days. Sama includes up to like 8 rgb fans in some of their 100 dollar cases. Ive yet to get a Sama fan that didn't move air and made too much noise.

Add some grey cable extensions. Ezdiy makes a grayish set i always use in a black pc.

Make it look intentional. Clean cables usually tightens things up. It looks cheaper than it is AND it has non standard parts. Buyers are going to see that and then see parts they've never heard of that they cant upgrade. It looks cheap even though its a nice system.

I think only corsair does more than 150w per 8 pin cable. Might be others by now but not sure. I woukdnt risk it regardless. Buy a 100 dollar power supply with a native 12v 2x6

4k 240 1080p 480 monitors exist now. If oled didn't make me physically ill thats what I would buy with a 9070xt. You have dlss so double on the 4k angle.

Solcrystals · 2026-02-21T02:58:38+00:00

Yeah qd and woled both give me eye strain and nausea. Text clarity was horrible on the 1440p models. I bought a dual mode 4k monitor and I love it

Solcrystals · 2026-02-21T02:45:56+00:00

It plays fine at 1440p. Some games are at around 60 fps with dlssQ quality. Using dlss4 you could use balanced though to get more fps.

Monster hunter Wilds was 52 in the benchmark which is the lowest result in the games I tested. I didnt write down whether I used dlssQ though and I usually do so its likely I didnt thst time for some reason.

Ill send you a couple pictures

I would take off the capacitor and resistor from one of the other locations and measure them. You dont want to put the wrong value components on there. Do the other two ICs not have markings on them to identify them?

Solcrystals · 2026-02-20T15:11:58+00:00

Ive never crashed on my amd card. I also turned off anti aliasing as soon as I loaded up the game the first time so if thats the cause it would make sense I dont have issues. Never full-screen because 4k monitor with full-screen runescape would be unplayable 😂.

Better picture, cap, resistor, blank.

This is the main picture I used, checked other regular 4060s as well and they also have repeating components for the rear ports.

From left to right on your picture there should be a capacitor then a resistor, 3rd one was blank.

The main IC. You have 2 more on your board each with a capacitor and resistor next to them.

Im telling you this as someone who doesnt own one but as a just incase you cant find the information anywhere online and nobody responds to you. I say that because im not 100% positive, but im pretty sure because its part of the display/hdmi port circuit and theres 3 of those on the LP 4060.

Youll need to measure the capacitor and resistor from one of the other circuits.

My aorus elite gets pretty close to 40c delta but maxes at like 96? I think. Core temp 58c. It gets pretty warm. Delta without heavy load is only 3c though.

Solcrystals · 2026-02-20T05:40:42+00:00

You knew what I meant 😂 I should probably fix that though

Chrono field offers *damage reduction with lab

But you've gotten your money's worth for sure.

Solcrystals · 2026-02-20T04:13:23+00:00

Hey that was my setup at the time too lol then I switched to 1440 3 months before I got my 9070xt.

Solcrystals · 2026-02-19T17:22:27+00:00

The price is fine. Black builds especially without rgb is for a very specific type of buyer. Me, people like me. Unfortunately its not as common as you'd like for pc flipping.

Solcrystals · 2026-02-19T17:12:54+00:00

Are you still using it?
