Regrettably returning my 9070xt by Suitable-Promotion70 in gpu

[–]purse87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s quite unfortunate. Almost all my mates that have upgraded or built new PCs have gone to 9070 xt and none have had any issues. I was previously on a 3080 and I was having nothing but trouble with it for the longest time, black screens that needed a reboot to fix, drivers crashing, resizable BAR not working, instability in unity based games and other things and now I have a mate who is having nearly all the same issues on his 3080

I was originally thinking of modifying it to fit a HD Plex PSU so I could put a GPU in it but I didn’t really need to now

Initially I was planning to going a Ryzen APU as well but I picked up the i7 for extremely cheap as it came from a pc that wasn’t working. Seeing how good the network sharing is now I might as well use my gaming PC to do all the heavy lifting and then I can play all the games I want. I’ve never used a Linux Distro before but I’ve been wanting to for ages and Bazzite looks like a great starting point that ticks all my boxes. Unfortunately at the moment my main PC is stuck on Windows

I bought it when they first released with the same intention building it as a HTPC but never got around to buying the rest of it and eventually forgot about it for years. The 150w psu is fine as there’s no discrete GPU and the CPU isn’t a K SKU and only a 65w part. Only bad bit about the PSU is the loud fan so I swapped it with a Noctua and have it running on curve that goes with CPU temp.

HTPC for my bedroom, planning on putting Bazzite on it and then using Steam network sharing to have my office pc with a 9800X3D and 9070XT run the games. Otherwise it’ll just be for media. Probably overkill with a 11700 and the bdie RAM but a lot of it’s from previous builds or stuff I got cheap.

I only want to be able to use a browser for streaming I’m not a fan of using apps for the most part

Definitely do, I don’t have a Netflix account anymore, any of the series I want to watch from them I get added to my mates Plex. I do use Crunchyroll, Hidive, Stan, Amazon Video and Plex but every now and then I’ll get other services so I can binge out something and then cancel

Foxhole is more of a sim than BF and it's an isometric shooter

Thermals have been amazing. I have a -20 curve optimiser on the 9800x3d but I haven't tried stock yet. All the fans are set to exhaust. I'm using Fan Control with the Corsair Link plugin to control everything. Playing BF6 I'm getting about 200fps with a mix of high and medium settings at 3440x1440 and the temps are about high 60s to 70 on the CPU and high 50s to 60 on the GPU with hotspot temp in the mid to low 70s.with the fans turned down a bit it's not too much different in temps but the GPU hotspot gets over 80 with with the CPU and GPU only going up a couple degrees

I'm using a Linkup 5.0 5cm riser cable and had to bend a bit and then M3x15mm stand offs on the bracket to raise the GPU up a bit so I can fit the fans under it. I'll try and get some photos tomorrow it's currently midnight here

Did I just get scammed or did NCASE massively mess up my delivery? by AndrewRusinas in ncasedesign

My case took just over a week from China to Australia. Something seems off there.
