Bluuz

Silly question but I have an older Cooler Master SFX850W power supply and i'm getting a new gpu soon. I have a small form factor case with the GPU located right beside the PSU. Is it possible to plug in the 12 pin to 2x 8 pin cables directly into the PSU instead of first connecting it to a proper 8pin cable?

Using blue screen viewer and WhoCrashed, and they both point to ntoskrnl.exe. As I understand it, ntoskrnl.exe is a victim and not actually responsible for the problem?

Sure, will give drive scanning a try. Is there really no way to determine which driver further up the stack caused ntoskrnl.exe to crash? Will a full dump provide that info? (as opposed to a mini dump)

The pc was fine for a year and I didn't use it for a month. When I came back it would blue screen every few hours. I've already checked bluescreen viewer and see it's a DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with ntoskrnl.exe A quick google search says it is likely a driver issue, but I have no idea which driver is responsible. I've tried: updating my realtek usb audio drivers from my mobo manufacturer's website updating gpu drivers windows image check and scan mem test and the issue still occurs. Can anyone help diagnose the issue by looking at the dump file or suggesting next steps? How can I figure out which driver is responsible? 101524-8968-01.dmp

Tried basic over clocking with power limit set to 112% (450W), people recommending an offset of 120 Mhz or so, to start. And here I am crashing with a clock offset of +90. (1995Mhz). Embarrassing that this can't even hit 2k.

A look at overclocking threads and videos like https://forums.evga.com/3080ti-ftw3-undervolting-m3373548.aspx and seem to imply a trend of 0.XYv roughly translates to 1XY0 Mhz. my card seems like an outlier.

Jumped from a 3080 to a evga ftw3 3080 ti (it was a free upgrade) today and attempts to undervolt/overclock have been disappointing. voltage, clock, approx power draw when running port royal 0.8v, 1725, 240W 0.85, 1770, 255W 0.868, 1800, 270W 0.9v, 1830, 290W 1v, 1905, 360W latest drivers, corsair axi 860W power supply. Is there anything obvious I'm missing that could be causing these poor results or is it just bad RNG?

On a rtx 3080. Let's say I've been testing my gpu at 0.9v and I found the optimal memory overclock is 10 ghz. Any lower or higher will drop my benchmark scores, this is the sweet spot. If I were to undervolt my gpu to 0.8v, would that memory sweet spot also change?

that's because the benchmark just ended...

I have an evga xc3 ultra 3080. No matter what settings I change the card will hit the power limit around 320W, when it's rated at 340W. Even when raising the power limit to 366W, power limit will always be hit around 320W. Using a Corsair ax860i power supply. Two separate pci power cables feeding the card. Here's a gpuz of a Heaven run on stock settings. Is there something wrong with my card or setup?

Let's say the fans should turn on at 30 degrees C. Ambient is around 20 degrees C. Anything higher than 30 degrees C, the fans will cool the gpu under 30 degrees, the fans then turn off. But since the gpu is generating heat, eventually it heats up to over 30 degrees and the cycle repeats. Also, I should note that the fans ARE spinning (at the reported 30% RPM) the entire time, it's just the tachometer reading that has me confused.

So I've heard having your gpu fans constantly turn off and on is not good for the longevity of the fans. So I set up a curve that looks like this. my gpu idles in the 30s, so it should never fall below the room ambient of 20C. note that afterburner won't allow me to set the fan speed between 1 and 29%. The fan RPM is consistantly around 33%, which is good, however the fan tachometer has a zigzag like pattern. Is this an issue, and if so, how can I prevent this?

?

anyone?

Previously I had an Asus pb278q using a DVI cable to my old gpu. The DP port on the pb278q is currently connected to a laptop. I also have a display port cable running from my gpu to another monitor. I got a new rtx card and decided to switch the dvi cable with an hdmi one, since the new card doesn't have a DVI port. Since then, when booting or shutting down my PC, the pb278q will briefly display all blue pixels (I think this is the 'no signal detected' screen). This bright blue flash of light is terribly annoying especially when it's dark. Does anyone know how to stop this behavior?
