GTX1080 got locked at 50% power

GPU keeps power throttling and voltage throttling when going above 0.975V, cauing extremely low fps and fps fluctuation 140~40FPS with lowest settings @1080P in Apex legends, PUBG & BFV

I am using accelero xtreme iii with Noctua NF-A12x25@45% so fan speed shown doesnt matter

  • Tried clean installed 3 recent nvidia recommanded driver
  • Chaning power limit, temp limit and votlage using either MSI Afterburner and EVGA Precision at once with multiple reinstall
  • Set voltage curve below 0.975V still power throttle
  • Reinstall graphics card

Specs :

  • GTX 1080 G1 Gaming 8G
  • R9 3900X
  • ASUS strix x570 i
  • Corsair SF750

Performance got cut by half

Clean installed with Display Driver Uninstaller.

Same thing with both adaptive and max performance in nvidia control panel nothing has changed.
It seems to happen after I installed PUBG which is within the last 5 days, not sure what happened there.
Tried on another PC with an 8700K, same 50% power limit.

Another PC and same issue.

 

RMA possible?

 

Can a New Cooler FAN Plugged into this GPU PCB (the only modification) cause sensor or value issues?

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

No fan has been plugged into the GPU's PCB, since it is an ITX case, case fans are blowing air directly to the heatsink and frames dropped a lot so thats probably not a sensor or value issues.

Wouldn’t hit that load or clock speed at that power/voltage. 

 

Did you do something special for the wiring or psu?

  Then it's probably limiting itself becsue as far as it can see the fan is faulty.

That's probably not the issue, if that's the problem, it will not be working all this time for the last year or so and other Tech Youtubers like Optimum Tech who had used this custom cooler will have the same issue.

Even if I change back to the stock fans in another system, plug it in to the PCB, it still cap at 50%.

Well that's info that should be in the first post, until now it sounded like a new build that never worked.

 

With age and more heat than normal maybe the issue is worn thermal pads for the VRMs or memory that causes those to overhead and throttle.
