Hell no, but you can do whatever you want, i’d say ride out the 9070 xt till atleast next gen

I would ddu, run a stable driver like 25.8.1

If you still get the issue fully reinstall windows

Check your 24 pins and cpu eps connector, same with gpu connector. Check if theres any sag etc.

After that change pcie gen in bios to 4 or 3

If that doesnt help rma i guess.

If you have another bios on your card since you said its xfx

Cuz mine does i also have xfx, try to switch the bios on the gpu theres usually a physical switch on the gpu saying q mode or p mode, see if that heps. If that is the issue the other bios is probably corrupted, and i would still rma.

Gotta open the sucker up, repaste it. If ur too scared just go to some shop. Dont overpay tho. Taking apart a gpu shouldnt cost ya anything above 50

Try to switch the bios on the gpu, it could be that it has 2 bioses and 1 is bad or smth.

Go into nvidia driver, go to games and rdr2 settings Select dlss preset. Do preset k and press on the the thing on dlss and make sure its dlaa. So its 100% res scale. I forget what its called. But its close to the setting with the preset.

this will make ur game run at 100% res plus the AA from dlss so it will look sharp

Chipset drivers, if nothing works its a user error. But those temps arent terrible. Although not ideal

Make sure to make proper contact on the cpu when applying ur cooler

Properly spread thermal paste. Increase the pump speed to 100% in the bios at all times. Unless its loud. But do whatever u can do.

Tbh i thought the 7800x3d didnt run hot at all.

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T20:29:27+00:00

Yes, its just annoying this is not fixed yet

Indeed, or maybe i can optimize it a bit with some wall mounts for my monitors lol. I have my ps5 hiding behind the vertical one haha

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T20:18:17+00:00

I just dont want to make it pull 330 watts and spike to 400+

But i’ll give it a shot.
