Current Hardware:
CPU: Ryzen 7 7700X
GPU: RX 6950 XT
MOBO: Gigabyte B650 X AX Rev 1.3
RAM: Crucial Pro DDR5 (2x16Gb)
Previous Hardware:
CPU: Ryzen 7 3700X
GPU: RX 6950 XT
MOBO: Gigabyte X570 Auros Elite
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 (2x16Gb)
PSU: Corsair Rm1000x
Looking for some troubleshooting advice. I recently upgraded my CPU to a 7700X which required a new MOBO and RAM. After booting up, I updated all drivers and the BIOS. I opened up 3DMark to run the Time Spy benchmark and compare to a previous benchmark and two things happened.
First, my computer consistently crashed and shut down prior to completing the benchmark. Second, when I was able to complete the benchmark, GPU temps at 98-99% load were 99-101C (not hotspot temps, those were at 110C). The test indicated GPU clock frequency averaging about 2400 MHz and Memory Clock Frequency about 2200 MHz. I compared these to a benchmark run with previous hardware and, with the same clock frequencies, GPU temps never went above 71C.
No other changes occurred to my setup besides MOBO/CPU/RAM. The new MOBO mounting locations are almost exactly matching to the previous board, so airflow within the case did not change significantly. I confirmed all readings within the AMD adrenaline software and ran the stress test within the software with similar temps. I also tried changing the fan curve for the GPU so that by about 70C, they would be running at full speed. Temps remained around 96-97C with fans full speed. I'm not sure where to go from here and what things I should be looking at. Am I missing something or screwing up? Any guidance is appreciated
