Hey, Recently come into the issue of my display drivers consistently crashing at moderate temperatures (65-75c). Sometimes they recover straight away but sometimes it hard crashes the pc to a black screen. I've looked around to try and find links normal temps and display driver crashes but I've yet to find anything regarding fixes (with one exception). I would immediately go to RMA, however, living in Australia + 2nd hand GPU (I've personally owned it for 2 years with no issues, previous owner used it for mining before moving on and selling the bulk of his cards), they say with no invoice they can only RMA for 2 years from release date which has sadly passed. I've been trying to live with it in hopes of the next series of cards coming out soon, but everything is being delayed and the card is only deteriorating. The one exception I posted about above was about the thermal paste drying up / spread bad and was toasting inside. I'm not wanting to take it apart without moderate certainty, so how likely is this to be the cause? Is there something else I'm overlooking? I've tried a lot of DDU, driver updates, windows reinstall, certain software removal but to no avail. I appreciate any ideas, feedback or any input you have Specs: Ryzen 3600 Tomahawk b450 max Strix 1080ti DDR4 3200mhz Silverstone 700w bronze Thanks, Apachey

Only to find that yes, the pump is dead. The copper plate is hot af, how do I make sure its the pump. Edit: That was it, thanks a lot man. You saved me a lot of trouble haha

I'm about to try reseat the cooler, but it seems very stable. The pump itself is reading 7k rpm which i dont think is right tbh... The ram tho, yea its just at 2133 as I've just defaulted the bios / cmos reset after fiddling around.

Hey, A week ago, I went ahead and delidded my 7700k to hopefully reduce the temps a bit. All was well, temps were ok but considering ambient temps in Australia can be annoyingly high, I opted for some more case fans to hopefully regulate the air a bit better. Today, I went ahead and installed some spare fans I had sitting in the pc case I had just switched from (Both phanteks), which didn't go so well. I plugged them into the phanteks fan hub I got with the case, but shit hit the fan. Upon turning the pc on, cpu temps went crazy. Motherboard is reading a mobo temp of ~29 while reading a cpu temp of 99/100. The cooler is cold to the touch, with corsair link telling me the same readings (Mobo temp ~29 with temp #2 being consistent 99). Cpu temps then read ~99 across all cores with the package at 99. Using multiple different programs give the same reading, with an aida test showing some thermal throttling. All items have been bought from pccasegear, so all invoices are kept online.
