Another Failure

So my Sapphire 9070xt nitro+ started crashing entering games. Investigated and found this. I know this cable was installed correctly as I paid very close attention to it. It was definitely seated correctly. The card itself looks clean. Silver pins and no damage to the socket. Guess I'll find out if the card is damaged when I get a new adapter. These should be banned.

AMD drivers breaking windows

I have a RX 9070 XT (Sapphire Nitro+) on my windows 11 pro system paired with a amd ryzen 7 7800x3d. After installing the AMD drivers and restarting the system I can not open any windows or run programs like the taskmanager or cmd because they just don't appear. The start menu opens, but I am not able to click something like restart. I tried:

  • cleaning everything with DDU and then install the amd drivers (adrenaline)
  • cleaning everything with DDU and then install the amd drivers (amd hip sdk with pro software)
  • cleaning everything with DDU and then installing the amd drivers (adrenaline) and then disabling windows replacing drivers in gedit.msc
  • resetting the full system and then installing the amd drivers

I have dualboot with ubuntu where everything runs just fine; I only want to use some windows only programs.

Direct airflow to VRAM – worth it?

Hi all,

I have a Gigabyte AORUS Elite RX 9070 XT. Overall, the temperatures aren't bad, but the VRAM temperatures are really bothering me. I know a lot of people say that 80°C is perfectly safe, but I just can't convince myself that running at that temperature for years isn't going to have some long-term impact.

I've been thinking about designing a duct to direct fresh intake air specifically toward the side of the GPU where the VRAM chips are located.

Has anyone here tried something like this? Did it make a noticeable difference to VRAM temperatures? Was it worth the effort, or was the improvement minimal?
