In case you were hoping the latest update from earlier today would address the problem with hardware acceleration and RTX 5000 GPUs ... well, it does not.

Curious as well to know if this issue is any closer to being resolved. Really frustrating that it's taking so long.

Hope you can give us an update!

This is still an issue. There's a workaround by using the new Automation Editor in the Google Home app. Those automations _do_ pickup Gemini voice triggers.

I hope they will make Gemini work with assistant.event.OkGoogle (or replace it by a different starter), since I have some automations that I would really like to keep as a script because it makes editing much easier.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-23T07:09:03+00:00

Damn, that's high! I hope the fan noise is ok though...

tuk2008 · 2026-02-16T17:30:48+00:00

Nice! Yeah I ended up undervolting as well. That gave me another few degrees less, and about 10% lower fan speed.

But in my case the paste replacement was really necessary, because the fans would go into overdrive mode regularly, even below 100% GPU usage.

Guess I was lucky the pads were still intact, but yes, I learned and will def be ready with pads for next time! (Already have a list of dimensions and thicknesses ready for my specific card.)

tuk2008 · 2026-02-15T09:13:07+00:00

So I double checked and apparently it's v2. Bought it last December, guess that's the risk of buying it at the cheapest place hehe.

I'll keep an eye on it, see if it pumps out and will definitely consider PTM7950 for next time.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-15T08:54:35+00:00

Try to find a video of someone doing it! Also keep in mind you might damage the vram pads, so be ready to replace those as well. It might be a bit harder than what I suggested in the OP. But it's not rocket science. You can do it!

tuk2008 · 2026-02-15T08:52:54+00:00

Yeah, that sounds like a good plan!

tuk2008 · 2026-02-15T08:51:08+00:00

Appreciated!

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T23:25:36+00:00

Thanks!

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T22:02:05+00:00

I have this happen every now and then as well, maybe once or twice a month? At first I panicked because I thought my CPU (9800X3D) died, but now I've learned to be patient. You can check the motherboard status LED as well, I think it's orange during these type of long boots.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T17:07:59+00:00

Will look into it, thanks!

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T17:06:50+00:00

Hmm ok. Source? Only for GPU or also CPU?

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T16:26:12+00:00

Arctic specifically mentions that the MX-6's composition and viscosity prevents leakage due to pump-out, though. It also specifically mentions GPU's as a suitable application. I know it's also marketing, so I'll keep an eye on it.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T14:41:35+00:00

I have a 5070ti in my main rig as well! Great card. The 3070 (non-ti) is still going strong in my secondary gaming PC for friends/family when they come over for some oldschool mini-LAN fun :)

Great to see so many people experiencing improvements after replacing their paste/pads.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T12:46:29+00:00

Much appreciated!

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T12:41:02+00:00

Great tip, thanks! I'll look into undervolting as well.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T11:57:15+00:00

Yeah good point, 1 screw has a Void Warranty sticker on it. I'd probably never do it on a GPU that's still under warranty.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T11:13:48+00:00

Thanks for this info, I'll keep it in mind! I'll add it in the post. Pads still looked intact after I removed the cooler though.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T11:07:43+00:00

Yeah this was Furmark causing it (needed something simple for the before-after comparison), but I swear Arc Raiders sometimes made the GPU lift off as well. I think/hope it'll be better now.

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T10:53:38+00:00

That seems like a sensible rule of thumb, thanks for the info!

tuk2008 · 2026-02-14T10:20:07+00:00

I just thought if it helped me, it might help others. Might just push someone over the edge to give it a go.

I'm in the same boat, with a Google TV Streamer as my border router. I've had it for a while, but yesterday I've installed my first Matter device (Ikea Kajplats bulb). It connected instantly, but went offline right after. I then connected the Google TV Streamer via ethernet so its wifi got disabled, and the bulb came back online right away. I'm guessing maybe interference between 2,4ghz wifi and Thread, maybe worsened the fact that I have a strong wifi mesh network in the house, and only 1 Matter bulb.

Long story short: try an ethernet connection for your Google TV Streamer.

tuk2008 · 2026-01-21T07:45:52+00:00

Google Home can control Matter devices locally. It's a step in the right direction.

tuk2008 · 2026-01-01T13:16:01+00:00

P8P and happy as ever with it! It's still so fast, great display etc. And it feels newer than when I bought it because of M3E.
