Fan Issue

[k33n]

Hello everyone,

 

I have an issue with graphics card.

 

It's an RTX 2080ti with two fans.

 

The problem

Whenever I start to play a game one of the fans starts to spin at 100 percent, like 3500RPM. This is very loud.

The card was working fine for some months.

 

What I did

I reinstalled Windows 10, installed the latest drivers and checked the temperatures by using 3dmark.

I let 3dmark run for 1 hour and the highest temperatur was 74 degrees which is completely fine.

 

Then I lowered the power consumption to 80% and it was working for some days. Then the problem was there again.

I was lowering the power consumption to 60%, it also was only working for some days.

 

Then I got a blue screen once with error: KERNEL_CHECK_SECURITY_FAILURE

Before the bluescreen there were also graphic errors. You can see them on the image.

 

As I said the graphic card was working fine for months.

 

What is your opinion on that? Is this a hardware defect or could it be a software issue?

Thanks for any help.
