If this is happening on multiple games then I would think it's most likely a hardware or driver issue. Did you overclock GPU? If so, I would suggest resetting it back to default and retrying games to see if it crashes again. Do they crash to desktop? Just freeze? Crash entire PC? Make sure you have latest drivers installed for everything and latest motherboard BIOS too. As for Rocket League running out of video memory... I've never played that game, but in Battlefield V there is a setting to prevent that from happening called "GPU Memory Restriction". Perhaps there is a similar setting in Rocket League. Not sure if there's a global setting in NVIDIA settings to prevent this or not. You can also try running Windows Task Manager, click on performance tab, then click on GPU on the left to show GPU info. Then play a RL game until it crashes. Assuming it crashes to desktop, check out the amount of VRAM that was just being used. That could help verify if Rocket League is indeed crashing due to using more VRAM than available. There are other hardware monitors out there for GPUs, such as GPU-Z... and EVGA Precision X1 and MSI Afterburner overclocking programs have them built in. Not sure how long they log hardware info for though. I was going to suggest trying some GPU benchmarking programs, but the ones I have played around with (3D Mark, Cinebench, Unigine) only run for a short time or you have to buy the upgrade to test for longer periods. Perhaps someone else on here knows of a free one that would work for you to test 20mins+. Not sure if benchmarking the GPU would help, but they would be something to stress it besides the games you've already played. In short... - update drivers for as much hardware as you can then test games - reset any overclocks then test games - if still crashing in games try a benchmark or stress test on GPU to see if it crashes - last thing that I could think of to try would be reinstalling a game to see if that fixes it. (Hopefully without losing any game progress) Hope something there helps. Best of luck. ?

I know this thread is a little old, but I seen it and thought I could help since I just built a new PC using this case. Yes, you can still have 3x140mm or 4x120mm fans on top even with the optical drive installed. I don't have an optical drive, but I mounted my 3 top fans on the topside of the case's sheet-metal, under the top case cover. This put them completely out of the way of mobo cables and an optical drive (if I had one installed). Looking at mine with 3x140mm top fans and doing some measuring, I don't think you'd be able to fit that combination of fans. I think it would be close and they might physically fit, but I don't think the mounting holes of at least 1 fan would line up with the provided mounting points so you'd have to figure out how to secure it. Also, mounting one slightly past the provided mounts towards front of case may cause issues with the wiring from the front I/O panel and wireless charger. Towards the back you have to underside of the top cover that you'll hit. I think 480mm total is all you can fit, not seeing where you can sneak in the extra 20mm trying to fit 500mm total on top. You might be able to fit two if you have a super short length power supply and even then I don't see it working (mine didn't). The PSU will most likely partially cover one fan mount. I will include a screenshot right from their manual.... pages 90-91 to be exact. You can see the PSU partially covering one of the fan mounts. Their procedure is not mounting the PSU right at back of case. Instead, they have a panel at back with their own switch and power cable pass-thru. You plug their cable into your PSU and the power cable that came with your PSU into their panel at rear of case. I believe they did this because the internal layout of this case can be inverted if desired. Unfortunately, this doesn't let the PSU sit back as far as it normally would, even if you choose the rearmost mounting position for it. If your PSU somehow cleared the rearmost fan, all of the power cables coming out of it would sit right above the fan and may even come into contact with the fan blades if they drooped any. My PSU wasn't even close to giving enough room for a second fan.

I'm probably going to change it from "auto" to 85C or 90C before warmer temps arrive in spring\summer. Even with A/C on max in summer, it will still be 5-10 deg warmer in my house than right now when it's 12F out. Old house.... poor insulation. ?

Hello. Just wanted to report back. I checked HWinfo for TM2 being enabled (screenshot included) and thankfully it is. I also noticed that this is the second program to report a tjmax for this CPU of 110C. The other being Core Temp. At this point, thermals are staying under 87C for all benchmarks I have run, so I'm going to stop messing around and just enjoy my new build. Thanks again for the responses @X_X. ??

Ok, thank you. I will definitely check that out. That was a small part of my worry was that I somehow accidentally disabled or didn't enable thermal protection. Still new to OC'ing and trying to research, learn and take it slow so as not to destroy my very first computer build. ?

@X_X Thank you for the response. Right now I have the max CPU temp setting in bios set back to it's default of "auto". The only time that I can think of that my CPU is going to be stressed enough to worry about thermals is during benchmarking with certain programs such as Intel Burn Test V2 on maximum. In that instance the temp would climb to 95C+, so I shut it down. To combat super high temps when AVX or AVX-512 instructions are used I have them both at a negative 5 offset which would put the clock speed back down to a factory turbo boost level of 4.4GHz. I guess the main things that made me question the tjmax spec of 95C listed on Intel's product page was that I have read in several places where these specs were often not totally accurate and that the Intel datasheets had the correct info. That and Core Temp reporting a tjmax of 110C when "CPU max temp" in bios is set back to it's default setting of "auto". I'm mostly trying to figure out if I actually have more thermal headroom than Intel leads me to believe. It's not so I can up the clock speeds to 5.0GHz (which I tried already and is stable, but yields thermals out of my comfort zone), but so I know if my current OC will be safe 24/7/365 even if it happened to yield an occasional but brief temp of 95C-100C. Thanks again. ?

Hello. New to LTT forums. Intel website says tjmax for the 9800x is 95°C. While trying different OC's on mine I have seen HWinfo and other programs report temps as high as 105° C with no throttling. I only let it get that high once to see if it would throttle. Otherwise I shut down benchmarks when temp gets above the listed 95°C. Checked Intel datasheets that I could find (labeled 6th & 7th gen x series cpus) and there's no listing of a tjmax spec anywhere. Anyone know what the real max is? Thanks. Edit: I should add that the OC is stable now @ 4.9GHz, 1.25VID and temps sit around 80°C using Prime95 v26.6 in both small and large FFT tests. I should also add that with max cpu temp set to 95°C in bios it will throttle at 95°C and Coretemp program reports tjmax as 95°C. With max cpu temp set to auto in bios, Coretemp reports tjmax as 110°C. This adds to my confusion.
