Let me try absolutely everything else first, a windows reinstall is a ballache for another day (i have the sinking feeling you’re correct though)

Over a quarter of a century of experience would say soLet me try absolutely everything else first, a windows reinstall is a ballache for another day (i have the sinking feeling you’re correct though)
. A means to an end!?

Some quick trouble shooters to try
If the AMD Adrenaline OSD appears on screen when you launch WOT-Disable the AMD OSD.
Disable any other OSD's OC tools such as MSI AB.
If you set your monitor to 60hz(for WOT reasons), open AMD Adrenaline, set an fps limit to 59fps.(remember to disable the fps limit after testing) or save it to WOT game profile
Block Windows updates in the background with WUB before you launch the game:
Windows Update Blocker v1.8
Clean out AMD gpu drivers with AMD Cleanup Utility -Uninstall/re-install driver (or use an older driver???):
AMD Cleanup Utility
Personally don't use DDU unless it's a last ditch effort.
So forget PSU problems this is another app saying give me control. Unfortunately it could be an overlay for example Xbox game or steam or discord that is requesting control. Might be worth running wot in full screen mode.

I found a solution yesterday to the 90 degree hotspot temps, and it didn't cost me anything.
Except a worn out drill bit.
My dad drilled some holes in my side panel, adjacent to the GPU. I increased the GPU fan speeds a little also.
Now, getting 80 degrees (hotspot temps) under load in the Witcher 3, 81 under load in Cyberpunk.
It's not what I'd call aesthetically pleasing, but it worked
I guess I could add a couple more case fans to the front panel at some point, depending on if the case even has room.

your psu is 100w under the recommended requirement for the 7900xt(x) maybe its starting to struggle and giving you the crashes, though if gpu fans suddenly ramp up that could be either a heat problem or when the crash happens the driver looses control of the card which makes the fans ramp up.
just for refrence a 3070 has a tdp rating of 250w and can run on a 650w minimum psu, a 7900xt has a tdp rating of 315w and amd states your psu should have a 12v rail rating of 62a or greater and be 750w minimum.

An 81 degrees (Celsius) hotspot seems to be normal for the RX 7900 XT using standard fan curve speeds, at least according to this review

@PitterPatter Try dropping the Power Limit to -10 if you haven't done so already, might rule out a psu issue (650W will be borderline)
I've got a Seasonic Prime 650w PSU (10 year warranty), had for quite a while.
Works fine with my Sapphire RX 7900 XT, even overclocked, running upto 350w.
It's worth trying to reduce the max power sage though to see if that helps, though.

As you know all psu's vary, would at least rule it out imo. I would also reduce the max clock to 2000.

@PitterPatter - I would use a program like GPU-z to keep track of power consumption on the GPU while playing games.
See what the max power usage is.

Yeah i knew the rating but the entire system, sans GPU, pulls very little - maybe 100w to 150w or so. I can’t see it being the PSU but I haven’t ruled it out completely.

£700 is how much they should be, that's what a bunch of us paid a few months back when OCUK did their offer on the Pulse model.

Agreed, and I'm very glad I jumped on that train at the time. I've had several months of enjoyment out of it so far!

- AFMF is recommended to be enabled while maintaining a minimum in-game fps of 60.
- AFMF may be enabled/disabled on the fly using the default hotkey of Alt-Shift-G.

So far so good with the SF750!
Total board power of the 7900XTX has spiked as high as 418w to date - what are some of the more power hungry 7900XTX's peaking at?

My greedy boy has been as high 440w.
