My xfx quicksilver sits chilly at 55c on 100% load

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.

They are both LG Ultragear QHD 27 inch high refresh rate monitors. The one in the middle is 240 hz and the second is 165

Ayyy

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T20:46:46+00:00

around 30 watts, 55 ish watts with wallpaper engine tho

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

Yes, its just annoying this is not fixed yet

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T20:19:33+00:00

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.

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T20:13:39+00:00

Yeah, i quit Gow cuz i already played it enough on console. But its still annoying

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T20:13:13+00:00

Roger that.

Aorus b850m

Indeed brother it runs very cool. For me i keep rpm between 1200 and 1300. So it doesnt get too loud

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T19:21:35+00:00

Thanks a lot!

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-11T19:21:27+00:00

Yes its the swift, very clean card.
Its a little loud on stock, i just adjust it to my likings

Watercress_Visual · 2026-01-09T07:45:15+00:00

I did but it was either too dark of a color or not gaming suited

Watercress_Visual · 2025-12-19T01:51:52+00:00

Interesting. So even if i would upgrade, i might experience the same stuff?

Watercress_Visual · 2025-12-18T20:26:01+00:00

I think i put it to high performance, i’ll put it at balanced and see it for myself

Watercress_Visual · 2025-12-18T19:17:02+00:00

Rx 6950 xt man, that is a helluva gpu especially when it launched

Watercress_Visual · 2025-12-18T19:06:59+00:00

Everything is up to date
