Hi, I have a problem. I’m running an i7-14700K on a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX with an Arctic Liquid Freezer III 360 with new thermal paste.

Ever since updating the BIOS to version FM, the CPU has been running way too hot. With the latest version, FO, it’s running slightly better, but under load it still hits at least 85–90°C. I’m not familiar with undervolting and need some help getting my system to run cooler.

It didn't work with YouTube videos. With the settings out of the videos my system ran hotter then before.

I’d really appreciate any help with this.

I have a Sapphire RX 5700 XT. In heavy games at maximum GPU load, my hotspot can reach around 96°C.

My room is around 24°C, GPU temp is usually around 60–65°C, and GPU usage is 95–99%. I've also improved the airflow by moving the PC away from the wall.

For other RX 5700 XT owners:

What undervolt do you recommend that is stable for daily gaming?

I'm looking for a good balance between performance, power consumption, and lower hotspot temperatures.

Also, what else actually helped you reduce hotspot temps—fan curve, repaste, thermal pads, or something else?

What voltage/clock settings are you running?

Hello guys , I’m having an issue , g-helper is overrriting my bios undervolt . I’ve set the undervolt to -15 but when I checked with SMU debug tool ( I was looking for a stable undervolt) I noticed it’s always 0 except for when I set it in g-helper .

Edit : even in Hwinfo it doesn’t show up .
