9070xt vram temps may be a problem
9070 cards adjust the fan speed according to the gpu temperature. so if your gpu is cool, it keeps the fans at a very low level. but the vrams are running very hot and said that increasing the fan speeds allows the vram temperatures to drop. of course, since the fan speed depends on the gpu temperature, your vrams continue to cook.
this guy says that evga has encountered some ram burning problems because the ram temperatures run very hot, just like the 9070s. on evga's card, the fan speeds are adjusted by reading only the gpu temperature.
I think the best thing for 9070 card owners to do is to take the fan speeds out of auto and run it with a nice fan curve.
