Hi All,
 
All of a sudden my card is spiking like crazy on the Max Power Temp. Nothing has changed in the computer. Card is a week old.
 

 
Any help would be appreciated. It's going from 30 - to 99 all the time.
 
Thanks.

They start spinning once it hits over 45 degrees. That was captured just as it changed back down to 30.

 
Surely PWR 5 shouldn't be like that!!!!

That is really weird, I doubt many of us can assist you on this one, I fear an RMA..

Yeah, that is strange that it is spiking like that.

I agree with arestavo that it could be a bad sensor.

Have contacted support and raised a ticket, just waiting on a reply.

The fan turns on for either a second or a few seconds then shuts back off. The sensor jumps from anywhere in the 30's straight to 80, then the highest I saw it was 110. Uninstalled the drivers, didn't help sadly. Re-seated the card as well.

It has to be a faulty sensor, feeling the card there is no heat near where that sensor should be. If it's reading 100+ I would expect some sort of heat there.

Hi All,
 
Just an update - I contacted support this morning and have placed an RMA, just awaiting on approval.

Hi All,
 
So I've come home to remove the card awaiting RMA approval and found the below sitting above the sensor (This was not there last night after re-seating the card). Looks like a thermal bad may have melted, plus some plastic? I have called support and explained what I have found.

 

 

 

 
I have an AIO Corsair Cooler, but there is 0 leaks in the tube and would imagine it would be everywhere as you can see from the picture there is nothing, not even a spill or drop on the tubing either. My CPU temps are fine and cooler is acting normal so there is definitely no leaks from that otherwise I'd have fans going nuts and liquid spraying everywhere.
Support mentioned that there shouldn't be as much as I explained. There's around 2ml of liquid and looks green, but when touched it's a clear oil liquid. I'm not sure what else to do now?
 
This post is more for a reference and documentation for RMA team, if they ever look at this.

Hi All,
 
I would like to apologise to everyone and EVGA. After searching and searching and ripping everything out of the PC i found some more green liquid around the AIO. (see below - can see it around the base of the cooler and dried on the tubing)
 
 

 

 
Looks like my cooler leaked all over the card (3 weeks old :( ) I will now be contacting Corsair to see what they will do.
 
Thank you everyone and EVGA Support.

That's really unfortunate.  At first I thought, that must be a ton of heat but questioned if you were running any type of liquid cooling above it as you later posted you did.
 
Hope it all works out for you and keep us updated.

Ah this is a nightmare of mine to have my Corsair aio leak:X

Sup3rfly1788 You are a true and onest person. Admiting it came from the aio water cooler driping on the card and showing photos of it. U should do a RMA and get a new card in return. Onesty pays.

only way he can get a new card is if Corsair pays now

Hey All,
 
Contacted Corsair Support, waiting on the ticket to be assigned to a technical engineer. Fingers crossed tomorrow I will have some more news and hopefully it's good news.

Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words mate. I don't expect EVGA to replace a card that has been damaged by another manufactures faulty part.

I wish it was just a nightmare of mine haha!

Worst case scenario, he gets billed for the repairs if its repairable by EVGA.

 
Very true. I'm assuming I will have to send the damaged card to Corsair first so the can inspect it themselves and see where it goes from there I guess.
 
I will update you all when I hear something from Corsair :)

Wow! I am sorry to hear the cooler leaked. Wishing you the best all around that everything gets taken care of.

Inspect all your gear, particular in the leak zone if you will and sent all that to Corsair.  They should compensate you np.  I've dealt with their CS in the past along with EVGA's during a nasty MB blowout that took a few things with it and all was taken care of by both parties.
