Gpu blows up my pc

[Cramig88]

Ok specs

-5900x

-rog crosshair 7

-strix 4090 OC rtx duh

-xfx 6700 xt

-quadro 4000 rtx

-64g across 4 dimms, Corsair somethubg, 3600

-1500w seasonic (maybe Corsair) psu

 

ok so before Christmas I’m using Nicehash to make passive income. Why not?  I’m at 4$ plus minus constantly

after Xmas suddenly it’s down to like 2$

played doctor and redid the loop, reseated the cards/ram. Hey even got my rgb and stuff working since the bottom of the motherboard is so tight of a fit for the quadro. Why they’d make it so difficult with a slim single slot card?  Anybody’s guess. Another half inch or less woulda helped substantially 

reset the bios, confirmed all is stock (aside from the RAID arrays)

went into Ryzen master, ensured all was “default”

amd whatever, same

no msi afterburner or anything

basically removed all the iverckock settings and made sure resizeable BAR was enabked

oh, newest bios (it was prior to Xmas also)

and yea, clean windows. Squeaky clean. No messenger, no Facebook, no anything trash. Between taskman and msconfig (right?) it boots with bare minimums - no trash

Game game on there presently is ghost runner 2 - has been since before also

 

moving on, now I run Nicehash and the pc eventually “boop” off. Almost like something’s overclocked. Temps are in range, 60c under load as I have an excessive amount of radiators

onky application running

I DO have a 4090 (that funny plug) to pci/psu. Weirdly I have 3 of them and they all have 2 inputs rather than 3 for the power supply as the stock has three.  Although it’s never been an issue given I’ve had the card for a year

both powers for the ‘90 are on seperate rails. Given it’s 1500w, shouldn’t matter but why not?

 

I’ve also disabled the 4090 and cpu from doing mining, just not the 6700/4000. Only cause the 4000 isn’t power hungry AND since it thermals I got it set so “nice” hash don’t hit 75c as 85 or 90 peaks it out and gives me rejection errors or whatever. Fans at 100 at all times

 

so why is my hash rate (maybe) or payout so low after Xmas?  I didn’t do anything aside from turn it on and hit go

Then of course why does it “blow up” when benching the 6700 and quadro?  Mind you this is maybe 15 mins of benching consistently, as in I didn’t hit pause and I wasn’t using the pc (Firefox, msft word, whatever). 
pump works fine. Although I forget, when I used the cpu for hashing (once) some reason the TDP was jumping around. 45, 60, 45, 80 (I set the max to 80 in bios) then it hit 104, then back to 60. Boop, blew up. Cpu temp too high, thanks asus for pointing out the obvious

I haven’t had that issue happen again on the cpu or gpus. 
so…. What’s with the darn thing exploding?  I’m quite confused and lost here

Also tried installing (clean install, completely) the updated drivers for every card. The game ready ones

possible it would work and better hash rates with studio?  Dono I don’t think I attempted that. Be interesting to see though

thanks for the help peeps!

I haven’t even smashed the 4090 with kali yet. John the ripper, curl, aircrack, whatever the one is for hashing/decrypting RSA-1024 among others, hydra, yada yada

What??  
jow about let’s assume 50% of kids got a 2000$ video card

wouldnt drop my rate or payout. Some but it’s hard to beleice even 50% worldwide got a 4090

most would buy a car….

No takers?
