9070XT or a 4070 super. More likely to get a 9070XT qt a decent price.

I mean you are robbing yourself of performance.

My Vega was running at about 30-40% of it's actual power until I changed PSU and actually ran in at advertised boost clocks.

You don't even need ATX compatible PSUs. It's just a format. You could use molex to 4 pin/6pin. If your PSU is struggling and you have to downclock you are effectively kicking your graphics card in ^%&$'s really hard. Your system with always be very unstable also.

I had many people tell me to return my card or tell me my mother board was at fault. Luckily the PSU is one of the cheaper components. So DEFINITELY order a new unit. If possible. EDIT: saw your new message. I understand that but unfortunately sounds like your PSU just isnt up to it, you...

Before you return your GPU. Please return your PSU or order a better one. I had a VERY similar problem and it ended up being the PSU, even after i replaced it! ( i was unlucky enough to get a dud corsair PSU) so 2x PSU replaced and finally with my EVGA power supply my card actually runs. So do...

Second gen ryzen 2700x or 2700 with b450 or z470motherboard would be good.

EVGA gold power supplies are great

Would have to be my first card the RIVA TNT2. But more recently my Vega 56 has been brilliant.

No problem, hope you find out what the issue is :)

There may be guides on how to troubleshoot your particular cooler. I would suggest removing the cooler and inspecting the mounting area for misalignment or damage. Its possible that you may be able to remove the cover from the IHS and inspect it for clogging once you remove it from the PC...

I agree, I had a very similar problem which ended up being the powersupply. Replace it with a quality unit.

I'd suspect that either the AIO cooler is gunked up and needs replacing. Or the AIO isn't torqued down properly. I would suggest trying to retorque the cooler. How old is your cooler?

Try clearing CMOS. Since it is when you put in the SSD I would also check your BIOS settings to make sure there isn't other issues. If you have a processor with integrated graphics you should try disabling the iGPU in BIOS.
