Thanks @Skiiwee29, that's what I figured was wrong, but thank you for confirming my suspicions

Hi all, I built this computer in 2019, and had problems with the graphics card at the time, but it's been working perfectly fine since. I tried to switch it on this morning, but the power-supply made a clicking noise, and nothing powered on. Google suggested the PSU's "short-circuit protection" was kicking in, so I took everything apart and put it all back together (including disconnecting/reconnecting the PSU wires, re-seating memory, cpu, and all the other cables). It switched on for a split second, and then there was sparks near the Rear I/O shroud, and a lot of smoke followed by the smell of burning electronics (I have a NH-D15 so it's hard to tell exactly where). I'm assuming the motherboard is completely dead - but what's the likelihood of the CPU/GPU and everything else being damaged? Finances have been difficult since the pandemic started (I had to move back in with my parents), so I could probably save-up for a motherboard over the next few months, but if everything else is damaged then its hopeless (and not worth spending whatever money I have left on it). I don't expect anyone to know 100% but even a rough idea would be most helpful, Thanks PS: Specs are...

After the recent LTT video, I decided to try out NiceHash QuickMiner for a day, and their OCTune under-clocked my 2060S to 1020mhz (core clock), 662mv (core volt) and 7601mhz (memory clock) whilst at 100% load Using MSI Afterburner, I could mimic the above settings by editing the power/volt curve to 1022mhz, and applying an +800 memory clock delta, but how can I get the voltage down to 0.662v/662mv like they did? (because Afterburner's curve starts at 700mv) hwinfo screenshot - NiceHash QuickMiner hwinfo screenshot - MSI Afterburner EDIT: Following this Reddit thread, you can change the curve display by editing "VFCurveEditor" (MSIAfterburner.cfg) to show under <700mv.

It seems I was doing it wrong, and needed to click the little bars, and change the power curve instead. I set all the points to 1022mhz and it seems to have worked, but the voltage curve only goes to 0.700v. Does anyone know how can I bring the voltage down lower? (to around 0.662v like in the previous screenshot) EDIT: Following this Reddit thread, you can change the curve display by editing "VFCurveEditor" (MSIAfterburner.cfg) to show under <700mv.

Hi all, I have an Gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 Super Gaming OC 8G that I got in Nov '19. After the LTT video, I decided to try out NiceHash QuickMiner, and mine in the background when I'm doing college work (Zoom/Word/PowerPoint stuff). Their OCTune determined the optimum settings for my card were: Core Clock: 1020 mhz Core Volt: 662 mv Memory Clock: 7601 mhz The thing is.... I want to try mining ETH without NiceHash (using Ethermine Pool and T-Rex), but I'm struggling to re-create the above settings with MSI Afterburner, and I'm getting confused because I think Afterburner works with deltas rather than fixed values (?). I managed to get "similar" values with the below but the core clock jumps around +/-200mhz and the voltage +/-80mv. Power Limit: 52 % Temp Limit: 67 c Core Clock: +0 mhz Memory Clock: +800 mhz Am I doing something wrong? (First two screenshots of OCTune and HWINFO were taken with with NiceHash QuickMiner+OCTune. Last screenshot was taken with OCTune disabled and Afterburner controlling underclock/overclock/voltages)

Thanks all, ASUS agreed that the card is dead and said to contact Amazon, who are guiding me through the return process (I opted for a refund so I can use the credit towards a 2060 Super instead)

Hi all, So... I built myself a completely new computer in July/August this year, and as part of it, I purchased a ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2060 OC Edition 6GB (all components for the system were ordered via Amazon UK). Everything has been running fine for the last 3 months, but yesterday my desktop started glitching (see attachment), and now I can't get Windows to load. My main components are: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Gigabyte Aorus X570 AORUS PRO (BIOS: f6b) Corsair CMK32GX4M2D3200C16 Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) Corsair RM850x Thinking it was a driver issue, I reinstalled Windows 10 1903 completely, and was able to get to the desktop. Once WindowsUpdate kicked in and tried to install the NVIDIA drivers, it does whats shown in the video, and freezes the computer. If I switch it off, and back on, it'll get as far as the Windows spinning circles and then black screen and freeze again. I also tried a clean install of Win10 1903/1909 with no internet connection, and tried installing different drivers from NVIDIA's site (v431.60, v431.86, v441.20) but the same thing happens. I even tried using a different power supply (another RM850x from my old build) but the same thing happens. I've exhausted software/hardware diagnostics as far as I can so... is my card dead/dying? I tried contacting Amazon UK's Technical Support, they said to email ASUS (which I have), so I'm waiting for ASUS to reply. Thanks! :) IMG_0165.mp4
