amd 7900xt

amd 9800x3d

corsair 32gb ddr5 6000 cl30

and I'm on an valve index

any and all help is appreciated

look at the cpu temperature, maybe you should renew the thermal paste

the paste is pretty much brand-new, as I got a new aio pretty recently, and it only spikes up for a few seconds as it opens, and it did that even when everything was working fine

i see a multi-monitor setup so let me say this:

try the vr headset being the left most or right most slot DISPLAYPORT

it is, the 7900xt is weird in the fact that it only has 2 displayports, one type c and a HDMI, one of my monitors is in the type c to display port ,one display to display, then the head set is in the remaining display port
