Hi
I recently put together my cooler build, and i am experiencing some stability issues that i find very strange.
My setup is EK parts for aesthetic reasons, with the Alphacool Core Nitro GPU block. I have a 7800X3D and a 7900 XTX Nitro+ (Silent bios setting).
The card has a Kryosheet and the alphacool thermal pads. I also tightened the screws pretty hard given the Kryosheet.
The GPU is sitting at around 300W power draw at max in the silent bios setting and im logging this:
GPU temp: 50 C
Junction temp: 66 C
VRAM temp: 74 C
If the temps go any higher than this, the card crashes and takes the entire OS (Linux) with it.
I can keep gaming for several hours as long as i keep the mem temp under 70C, but if i force it up to above 74 it crashes.
It ran on stock cooling without issues before the watercooling setup, so i am a bit worried what is wrong to cause this crashing and i am not even using the 420W overclock bios.
I find this very strange, given that the "normal" temps for this card is supposed to be much higher.
Just a quick google search says the card should be able to go to this before anything happens:
GPU temp: 65 C
Juction temp: 90 C
VRAM temp: 90 C
I have not taken the card apart yet for physical troubleshooting as i dont have any replacement thermal pads.
So are there any ideas to what can cause this, or similar experiences out there?
