Hello, long time lurker, never had an issue to pop up like this and I'm in kind of uncharted territory personally.
I have a Gigabyte 2070 Super Windforce 3x that I had flashed the Aorus bios on and had stable at +80/+1000 core/mem. Recently, I purchased a Kraken G12 bracket and an x73 aio and put it on the card. The g12 has 1 fan that cools off one side of the card. This resulted in drastic decreases in operating temp; I went from 62-65c after a few hours of gaming with fans set to 100%, to 41c max through 1 hour stress test. As we know, these cards are temp throttled pretty hard so I obviously am in love with the core temps.
My issue is I can't game with an overclock now, which I would really like to have because it give me an additional 10-20 fps of wiggle room for some settings to maintain a smooth 4k@60 in an mmo.
I can bench with +150/+800, and beat the second place bench in superposition while I was at it. When I open up my game though at a +100/+400, I crash after about 5-10 minutes. So of course I set memory oc to 0 and left core where it was. Same deal. So far I can maintain +80/+0 for at least an hour, but I'm just confused as to why the gpu is crashing now at core oc's that were stable 20c higher. I understand not being able to OC mem now due to lack of heatsinks(I have little ones on the way
I'm thinking maybe because to the card, fanspeed would be reading 0 so maybe it's freaking out about that, but that wouldn't make sense to throw out at temps that low. Anyone got any ideas?
