Yes I do mean that. The Apu I don't think really fires up it seems to recognise that my 7900xtx is the main GPU. Good to know I can disable it if needed.

I’d be tempted to disable it as it’s drivers won’t get loaded and interfere with your main card.
Is it easy to do, I'm on a Asus 650 AMD tuf board.
Quick question or two....
I'm going to repaste my sapphire 7900xt MBA tomorrow and just wondering going into it, is there any warranty labels or stickers on any of the screws?
Repasted a 1070 and R290 back in the day so not my first rodeo but not exactly routine either. Do people generally replace the thermal pads on the vram and mosfets aswell?
Load temps on the hot-spot on my card can reach 95-98c in a pretty well ventilated case (undervolted to 1050mv +15 power limit) and fans 100% on the card.
If I can get that hot-spot to about 90c tops and drop the fan speed a touch I'm happy with that. To be fair the card is that fast I'll probably just run the power limit at +10 after a repaste just to reduce noise.
Cheers

There might well be warranty stickers on the screws at the back around the gpu x clamp that say 'warranty void if removed'. They don't bother with this in the u.s. anymore as its not enforceable there, but pretty sure everywhere else get them.
That's the back of a 6950xt and you can see the sticker on the top right hand screw.

What’s your thoughts on this? Got someone prepared to swap my 4070 Ti +130 for this. His is brand new like mine. Temps good? My Ti is practically silent so would like this to be quiet

I sometimes I do it that way. Other times I just download and update directly from within Adrenaline

Hi all, on a separate note I’ve been offered a MSI gaming classic XTX for a trade with my 4070 Ti (I paid £680 iirc ) + £130. I play at 4k 60 - is it worth it? The Ti does a great job but does struggle at times in resident evil 4 maxed out and far cry 6 where I’ve seen the XTX exceed 100fps
Hi Was £855 with a promo voucher from another site very happy with the price. Loving it so far and very quiet.
Not had a great deal of time with it yet. Initial impressions are its very quiet but defintly not silent. I played cyberpunk for an hour last night and it never went above 70. My case is NZXT elite which isint the best for airflow anyway.
Thats the one

I'm hoping there will be a few getting close to 800 on black Friday.Thats the one
Lately my 7900 XT MBA junction temp went pretty bad. When i bought the card it maxed out with +15% PL(80% fans) 86C and now few weeks ago i noticed i can go up to 108C with +15PL and 98C with stock PL, in Time Spy...
So i decided to replace thermal paste, i used PTM7950 and also i put 1,5mm Gelid Extreme thermal pads on VRAM chips.
After that my VRAM temp stayed the same(max 88-90C), but junction temp improved only 5-10C, which is still a lot worse that it was at the beginning when i bought the card...
Any opinions why junction went so much worse, even after repasting? (Fans are working fine visually, no dust on GPU, looks like new.)
Wasn't sure how tight GPU bracket screws should be, i tightened them to max.
