First time with Navi, furmark pulls 370w at 1.25v 🔥
Crazy stuff, sadly couldn't push much higher on the stock aircooler, maxed out around 2160MHz on the core for FS.

GD-2 works great as thermal putty | RX 5700 XT Sapphire Pulse (Yes the missing one on the left memory chip did get applied, it was stuck to the baseplate checking clearances)

I WAS RIGHT!!! So many burned 12vhf connectors.
Shocker, bad connector is bad 🤦

Looks like every RX 9070 XT shown so far has the core and memory really close to the PCIe slot, be it for PCIe Gen 5 or something else; throw in the 12v high failure rate connector on some of the models by AIBs. Can’t wait in a couple years where BGA damage is super common on these cards.
AMD WTF?!?
