Hello, I purchased my unit June 2021, upon installing the unit i have been happy with the temps, i believe I've been within 45-55c. Starting months ago i'm having some issues with my GPU. I'm not having any random driver crashes, artifacts, game crashing of the kind and my card does run at 100% usage somewhat.
The issues I am or have faced within a few months ago (Not in any order)
- Unusual higher temperatures
- Pump making a noise as if it's not pushing any water, perhaps air bubble sound?
- Temperatures instantly reaching throttle/max of the GPU - I've noticed when this happens the Radiator is cold as if the loop wasn't working correctly.
- My GPU is having Random black screens when my temperatures hit roughly around 60-65c - temps never used to be this high. i've noticed Black screens occur when my power limit is usually at max and utilization is above 95% BUT I don't think it's always the case.
I have refilled the radiator using the refill port following one of your videos and ensured that the radiator is full. The only 'solution' to this problem is if i lower my power limit as to where my temperatures drop below 60c and my power doesn't hit close to max 300. Another thing to note, when my card starts hitting 60+ i can actually smell the heat, the card is also pretty hot to touch.
I contacted the supplier i believe i couple months before my warranty expired but i'm at the point now where it's just not stable anymore, now i'm out of warranty they are refusing to help me. With the prices of GPUs still high, i'm not able to afford a new card if this one was to die.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
