If you end up not figuring out the cmos button, just switch off psu and pull the coin battery on mb for a like a minute. Saved me several times because I have an older board with jumpers instead.

Took some time and disassembled what is possibly the most stupid card design with like 20 micro screws and 20 screw nuts just for cooler and backplate. Replaced the STOCK thermal compound and torqued all the screws much more than I felt comfortable when reassembling. Cpu core goes to same ~80*C temp but now the fan issue is fixed. There were no pads out of alignment but I imagine there were some pads not touching due to cooler baseplate not being fully torqued to pcb. Still hate the card.

GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 (NON-super)(yes the only card using a remote 8 pin and small ref PCB, idiot move on my part) Operating System & Version: No issue on windows 10 v 1909, issue on 2020-02 GPU Drivers: clean 442.59 Description of Problem: This issue did not start until a couple of weeks ago which happened to be when windows updated to 2020-02, it could be a coincidence. Before the issue, I could max out the power delivery % and do a +150MHz overclock in msi afterburner and the card would be relatively quiet. Recently, even with no overclocking, fan 1 will max out completely under certain load circumstances to the point where the card is unusable in-game due to noise. It appears to do it when the card is around 80*c but it has never done this before because 80*c has been the sweet spot of noise and performance. I tried to fix the fan curve by using afterburner fan control but fan 1 still does it. Fan 1 even reports the rpm % as what it was before spin up (~66%) even though it is at 5k rpm (what would be 100%). I all around hate this card because of its cooler engineering and the fact that it is the only 20 series ek doesn’t support (aluminum). I am doubtful that it is a hardware issue but the fact that the fan percentage demanded doesn’t correlate to the rpm means that there could be some base (not in os) level protection for overheating or something. But that shouldn’t happen in completely stock form so idk. Any help appreciated Attachments: Look at fan 1 rpm in the screen caps. It solo rpm (not %) maxes for ~10 seconds and goes back down.

I used to need to heat my room in the winter but I stopped about 2 years ago when I upgraded to a r9 270.

My current peripheral setup consists of the ballin on a budget Redragon Keyboard and mouse. I've had them for awhile and now I'm trying to improve.
