The problem: Games run fine for a couple minutes and then the temps spike and the games drop to 0fps and buzzing comes from the speakers.
It seems to get really hot sometimes also(85+C, a couple times it hit 100c) in pretty much any game that's using most of its power(GTA5, Witcher 3, Crysis 3, etc...). I saw this happen with Youtube videos also. I am hesitant to contact EVGA because I had warranty issues with them before, it does hold its 3 year warranty according to Microcenter. I only have 3 more days to return it though to store.
I tried running the fan at 80+ in EVGA precission and MSI Afterburner but it doesn't help it seems, it is not overclocked, I never really touch that on cards. The buzzing coming from the speakers strickes me as odd, I stress tested my CPU, checked HDD, and Ram. All of my hardware is new and my PSU can handle most things, its a EVGA G2 750Watt. My airflow is also good, all my other parts are very cool.
What is this? A bad chip? Surprised Microcenter would sell a card in this condition without checking it....
I had to put my 460 back in cause I was sick of hard resetting my PC, I don't wanna harm my new HDD....
