Hi,

Since September I have been experiencing PC shutdowns with fans at 100% whenever I try to play a game with graphics. I don't play very often, so I haven't been noticing so much. In the beginning I thought it was TW:Troy, but it seems it is every 3D game!

The card is the EVGA 2070GTX Super and temperature reaches 86oC, works there for about 1-2min and then PC shutdowns with the fans at 100%. CPU temperature is around 50oC. Of course if I leave the side panel open, pc works fine.

Case is the Corsair 280X with two fans in front entering air and a H115 radiator also entering air with its two fans (based on corsair advise). Graphics card is at the bottom of the case.

Any ideas? Maybe de-assembly the card and reapply thermal paste? Adding on more fan at the bottom? Thing is that that didn't happen in the past, so I feel something is failing on the cooling part of the card.

Thanks
Yannis

    A repaste will probably help, but if leaving the side panel open makes a significant difference, then you also have an airflow problem. Seems to me that you have 4 fans blowing in, but not enough blowing out, so the warm air from the CPU radiator is blowing down past the video card and out the bottom. Couldn't you turn the fans on the CPU radiator around so that the warm air is blowing out the top, and add two fans at the bottom of the case blowing up?

    ok I tested the temperature with the side panel open (played about 3 rounds of WOT) and again it can reach up to 83oC, but PC doesn't crash. Was also thinking about that solution:

    86c to 83c is not a big difference. I would repaste the GPU core.

    I checked some online videos about replacing the thermal paste on my model. From what I saw, its only about the GPU core not the memory. How do I know its not a memory module overheating?

    I agree replace the TIM under the GPU - is a good place to start if you have already removed any dust bunnies in the cooler
     
    run GPU-z & ck the sensor tab to see temps while using the GPU
     
    what RPM are the cards fans running?  Any OC on the card?
     
    case fans RPM?
    room temp?
     
    I've had factory TIM jobs that were not the best & reapplying TIM on this 2080 Ti helped temps & stability issues
     
    (those matching gaps on both parts, in the Gray colored TIM are BAD news - "dry spots")
     
    even though there is plenty of TIM, you can see the excess on the edges of heatsink, it apparently was not placed properly for good coverage
