Temps when new: Temps after a year: Those temps were even after a repaste. I was hitting 95c on the hotspot before the repaste. So it's alot better, and within spec now, but is definitely getting hotter as time goes on. Fans could be going out, but the memory temps haven't increased at all, so maybe the fans are ok, but the die is getting worse.

Card should last longer but you post reeks of mining type abuse you may need to get a larger cooler

dang, even after repaste, leakage current in the cpu might be increasing?

Something is definitely going on. Could be that, but I don't really know.

RMA, might be your next step, especially if the temps go backup to mid 90C range, at the hot spot?

Yeah, I may have to use the 4 year warranty that the card has if I can't keep it below 95c on the hotspot.

could try Honeywell PTM7950 as a last resort or liquid metal if neither of those two helps yup card is on its way out. I was thinking of trying PTM7950 once my tim degraded but it's been cool as when I got it almost a year ago at load and idle.

Thanks, but I’d like to stick to non conductive stuff. I’ll try some thermal grizzly kryonaut next. Currently have some corsair tm30 on it atm.

If you opened your RTX 4090 to re-paste it you might have voided the warranty.

lol. I’d like for them to try it. I’ll contact the federal trade commission, and file a case in small claims court.

It’s resolved for now. Card is working fine at the moment. If it gets hot again I’ll try some thermal grizzly kryonaut, or maybe even some kingpin cooling kpx before rma’ing.

The hotspot was hitting 95c. It’s now hitting 80c after a repaste which is within spec.

Yeah if you read their warranty, a repaste they can basically do a car dealer move and say that contributed to the failure.

Find a quality tim that does not degrade or can take the abuse longer.

I put TG on my Gigabyte 4090 OC a year ago when I put an EK Quantum block on it and temps seem to still be behaving. You got me paranoid so I went and checked. Only thing I have to test with is high stress stuff like 3D Mark but at 100% load it was still good. Think the hotspot hit like 64C. I actually tried OCCT first, but I think either their latest update has an issue, or it's these newer 54x.xx Nvidia drivers cause 30 seconds into the GPU test I get a black screen every time, but I know there have been black screen complaints about the new Nvidia drivers, and OCCT was just fine a month ago (before I updated drivers/OCCT).

Latest occt and 546.29 works fine here without a black screen. Have you been running your gpu at stock voltage the entire time you have had it? How long have you owned your 4090? I’ve been running mine at 1.1mv the entire year I’ve had mine.

I'm on 546.33 and whatever OCCT updated to last night when I opened it. Yes stock voltage and the card is just a week or two over a year old. No problems in games/3d Mark so I'm writing it off as a general driver/windows issue with my system and not hardware. when I force a reboot and open OCCT it pops up a window showing the test ran for about 37-38 seconds with no errors. It was fine last month before I updated drivers from 537.34's, and VRAM test is still good. I haven't been doing any OC'ing or even raising the power limit above 100% because I need to revamp my cooling loop first to handle the extra heat, and I've been putting it off due to other stuff. edit: Considering all the really bad feedback in the 54x.xx series feedback threads on Nvidia's site, I really wouldn't be surprised if my OCCT issue is a driver issue being brought out by my system (since every system is unique).

Would be interested to see if you get a black screen with your voltage set to 1.1mv.

I'll have to figure out how to do that. Opened Afterburner but the voltage field/slider is grayed out.

Go into msi afterburner settings, select the general tab, look for unlock voltage control then check mark it, click ok to exit msi afterburner settings, afterburner should then restart, and then you should be able to adjust the voltage slider. Simply max it out to make the card run at 1.1mv.

Thanks, I'll give it a try tomorrow, I'm all set up a big group gaming thing this evening already. Is there a reason for maxing it out? Seems like that's gonna generate a lot of heat, but I've paid attention to the voltage under load either. I just know with CPU's the voltage tends to get lowered when load ramps up to keep heat down.

I just max it out for extra stability. If you don’t black screen you’ll know you weren’t stable.

Sajin I just max it out for extra stability. If you don’t black screen you’ll know you weren’t stable.
What setting are you putting the voltage control to in order to get 1.1mv? It's showing as a % so I'm thoroughly confused and don't want to overvolt the card. For the dropdown did you leave it on "Standard MSI" or put it on 3rd party or reference?
