Hi,
I built a pc for gaming with an Oculus Rift S. I want to play with high resolution, but my computer keeps freezing after a few minutes of gameplay. Among other steps, I used Open Hardware Monitor and my GPU gets up to 80°C and then the pc freezes. No other components get over 50°C.
So I suspect an overheating GPU is causing the freeze because: I set all the fans to 100%, which prevents a freeze for longer, but again, when it gets over 80°C it freezes. I also played with the case open, which keeps the GPU temp at 71°C max, and no freeze.
My questions are:
Am I right? Or could it be something else? What else should I check?
And, if I’m right, how do I fix the cooling? I’ve moved the fans around, and set the fans at 100%. Is this a matter of changing the case? Or is it even about going with water cooling? (That seems pretty intense.)
Specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700k 3.6 GHZ 8-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Hyper 212 Evo
GPU: Evga GeForce RTX Ti Black Edition
MOBO: MSI MPG Z390 Gaming Edge AC
PSU: Evga SuperNove 750 G3
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2 TB
SSD: Samsung Evo 1 TB 2.5”
Case: Corsair 110Q (It has one case fan in back.)
Two additional fans in front: 140mm Arctic PWM.
Thanks for your help.
