Hi guys,

 

I have an inwin 904 case, with water cooling, when playing heavy graphic games my card shuts down and monitor goes off, with the case Windows off it doesn't so it's a temp thing. I have one intake and one outtake fan. I have a nvidia 770 card. How do they keep theses laptops cool with a 980.I  Must be able to install something to keep it cool with sides on.

Hi,

Thanks for the replie, water cooler seems fine, the fan attached to it is blowing cool air into my case and I have a fan up the top blowing air out, if you check out my case the Inwin 904, I have no other places to install more fans. The case is notorious for not having enough cooling but Im thinking if these laptops can do it with dual cards and stuff sorely I can cool my tower.

Have you been monitoring your temps? If not, you should start doing so with software like Msi Afterburner to see if the issue is really the temps.

Laptops and desktops still use bit different methods in cooling. Desktop relys on case fans providing working airflow so that cards own fan doesn't need to be super fast. Laptops use whole internals as heatsink and have tiny fans spinning really fast to exhaust heat. They don't run cool either and most people here think laptop GPU temps of 90+C really hot compared to desktops usually maxing at 85C.

 

Could you list specs and temps? Also have you tried with usual suspects like drivers and doing stress test?

I have have done temp tests and they are around 45c, like I said when gaming for a while the monitor will go off but the pc stays on and wont come back on unless I restart the computer, so its the graphics card shutting off, when I have the side panels off it does not crash so its goto to be the heat.

Maybe broken card.

45C load temp = not overheating issue. Its either drivers, power delivery or card itself being broken.

HI Guys,

 

Thanks for the replies, I'm a bit stumped then, because like I said it crashes with sides on and was running fine with the panels off but it now crashes after a good bit of gaming with them off, the fan on the radiator for the cooling is pumping out hot air after a while and my power unit gets really loud for a while.Which is why I think its the temp plus its been bloody hot here in the UK.

Get HWINFO or some other software with logging for temps (OCCT is the I know). 45C isn't overheating. But I doubt its the last temp before crash. With all symptoms it seems like faulty card.
