Hi, a few months ago I shared my concerns about the BIOS mod for the RX 9070, and after doing a lot of research, I was surprised to find that the VRMs on the 9070 are actually quite oversized, so I decided to go ahead with the mod without hesitation.
I installed the RX 9070 XT Reaper BIOS on mine, since it seems they share the same PCB and VRM configuration.
It’s drawing 320W with a -115 UV, and the hot spot is around 78 degrees.
A score of 7105 on Steel Nomad is on par with some stock RX 9070 XTs. I’m including the HWinfo data in case you want to check the amperages and the card’s total power consumption.
What do you think? Is it safe to use the card like this for an extended period, or should I lower the power consumption to around 280W+?
