2080 Ti and or an SSD problem?

[RecordsRecorded]

I'll make this brief as I can and then go into detail.

 

Gigabyte Aorus RTX 2080 Ti WB

ADATA SU800 1TB SSD

 

GPU or SSD is either overheating, or something.. Latest drivers, windows, bios, everything is golden in software ends as far as I know and no OC on the card passed MSI Afterburner turning the power to 120%. Randomly I'll just crash the entire PC, no BSOD or reports, just black and reboots itself. GPU temps are around... 46-56C while gaming(prior to any tinkering sat around 33-42C). One of the SSDs I have though is just....weird. I thought maybe because it was so close to my PSU radiating heat and that's why it was so hot. Moved it, no reduction. It sits around 38-42C but the second I start a game, whether or not I have OBS running, discord, chrome, etc. It spikes to 50-62C and then the crash happens.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, this crashing ONLY happened AFTER I did my "modifications" on my GPU.

 

Opened the card to replace thermal paste with Conductonaut and then Kryonaut and some possibly better thermal pads. Temps were around 45C while playing BDO Remastered Ultra settings at 1440p. Pretty amazing frankly, but I wanted to be right at or under 40C and was hoping on Fujipoly Ultra Extreme XR-m Thermal Pads to be amazing. They were, at least in my case two purchases, two times I never got the product. So opt'ed for Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8 because I already trust Thermal Grizzly for paste, and I didn't think it'd be a downgrade, but definitely not going to get me where I wanted to be. Anyways, look about and find out I might be able to ref EKWB's 2080 Ti blocks, but worried out of my mind because the AORUS Waterforce editions obviously aren't in their lineup for Gigabyte cards. The PCB diagrams don't appear different really at all though. Check with Gigabyte, standard response of "our specs are on our website" and not what I needed. So I used just those 1mm pads, figured it should be fine after looking closely at the pads I had thought to replace. Mosfets specifically, and the temps went sky high to 62C+ so added another strip ontop of the one already there, so 2mm on the mosfets, everything else is that 1mm. At this point I just want my temps back to normal... (At the moment the temps on the GPU while gaming are 45-56C) I want to RMA the card but this stupidity desire and a talk to Gigabyte later says I voided it.. Leaving me the thought of simply, "Okay so if opening the card is voiding my warranty, care to explain the thermal paste you included in the package with my GPU?" I don't care, I just need some help, if anyone knows thermal pads and sizes for this card I'd be extremely grateful. Also if there's any kind of info I can give on the SSD let me know or if anyone knows if this is a common thing, an RMA needed, or whatever, I'd love that info too. Thank you!

For the record, SSD's actually operate better at around 50ºC as the heat is better for the life of the NAND cells (but bad for the on board controller)

 

Here's an example of a drive that's overheating due to the LED's on it

This is actually a pretty common issue and can be caused by other things then just SSD or GPU issues. If you could please list your full specs including if you have any overclocks.

If you crash like that it can be the PSU protections tripping.  

 

Nm, I see the PSU.  May want to test with another PSU.

I've seen that video, I frankly just couldn't really remember what were good temps, and I didn't want to factor out the one thing that has the highest temp in my system at the moment either.

 

Signature reveals all my PC specs, so does Speccy (though I have no idea why it reads my RAM as 1600 instead of 3200..) Besides the point, Corsair HX 1200 Platinum.

Double Data Rate, 1600 x 2 = 3200.

You say double, but I say I was too lazy to turn the AORUS software into a .gif because they're two separate pieces of update checks.

 

I'm very tired. Mental ability degrading...

I was explaining why Speccy said 1600 MHz...

It took a moment for me to realize, and failed to delete my own post stupidity so slash and edit made.
