Is this suitable for regular use?
i've been using it for three months and everything is working perfectly, no crashes or problems. the temps are around 59°C, with an 80°C hotspot and a max fan speed of 80%. i'm curious if it's suitable for long-term use. do you have any advice or tips regarding the tuning? thanks.
If you're undervolting, it's ideal for extended use and provides safety. It remains stable when paired with your selected clock speeds and configurations.
As Kreploon9 mentioned, the 6000 and 7000 series are quite alike. Occasionally, the 7900XTX might not apply its specified voltage until more demanding tasks like 4K gaming are involved. I haven't noticed my 7900 XTX reaching 1030-1150 yet. Consider using various benchmark tests to confirm stability.

Basic power supply but should work for your setup.
For undervolt, use benchmarking apps to adjust settings, then apply them to games you play often. If the system runs smoothly, your adjustments are effective. You might improve further by changing the thermal paste and pads to a better quality.
test it using furmark2 for 3 hours – it works fine. the max hotspot stays at 82°C, average is 80°C with 80% fan speed. seems the pre-applied thermal paste is good, but the pads might be faulty from the factory. it's a new GPU, I've used it for 8 months without changing the paste or pads. are the temperatures okay?
Everything seems normal. The pads and paste from the factory could be swapped for better options, but since temperatures are stable and there are no issues, it makes sense not to change anything.
Ensure the GPU is truly stable before testing. Avoid only running 3DMark; AMD Radeon cards tend to be unreliable in real games but may pass 3DMark at very low voltages. Based on my experience with RX 6800, 6900XT, 7900 XT and XTX models, they all perform similarly.

yes, it's normal not to crash during gameplay. it doesn't operate at his specified voltage of "1030v" while playing; instead, it runs closer to 1090-1100v when checked with the MSI afterburner. this might be due to adjusting the power limit.
i checked using the default power (100w) where the voltage stays at 1030v, but the hotspot temperature drops significantly from 80c to 63c. my fps is also decreasing. in cyberpunk benchmark at 1080p max with fsr quality, the average drop is from 88 to 73, minimum 75 to 64, and maximum 110 to 93.
