Kraken cooled gpu chrashing

[Este]

Hey, 

So I just set up a new rig, and all of a sudden now. out of the blue. The whole thing crashes, there is no response to the monitor yet the system is still running. I'm guessing that it's my card crashing because the vrm/vram isn't being cooled properly with that little fan. I'm not entirely sure, I came here to find out if other people have been getting the same issue? 

I'm not sure what size heat sinks to buy for the GPU ( Asus 1080 turbo)?  I look around and there is just so many sizes. 

If anyone can help out that out be much appreciated. 

 

edit: 

The temps I'm seeming to crash at are 87 F

You sure that's not Celsius?  My system IDLES hotter than 87F.

 

Try cranking up the power (adjust the fan curve) to the header where the Kraken pump is plugged in.

When is it crashing? Look at the vrm, then measure them. Then you will know what size to get. Vram uses 10x10mm, so use that as a reference.

Well like stated, you prolly mean 87c. Also there's no way the card Ian hitting 80's with an aio on the gpu. I assume it isn't making contact.

No, it's Fahrenheit, I checked it, I find that very odd. I'm thinking that too, right now it's using a Corsair H75. Just going to remount the whole thing I guess

Well if it is, then it isn't an issue with the mount of temp. As that's idling temp. Could be something else. Driver, or the mount is too tight. Card could be bending or sagging too much.

it could be. The case is a little tight on space

If it wasn't doing it before the cooler then it's the issue. Or the install.

So it was the flex on the card it can take more heat now, but it crashes when I play games now... 

[Mick Naughty]

The whole pc right? Did this pc work before adding the cooler?

with the stock asus turbo shell the card worked wonderfully. Adding the nzxt cooler i have had issues with it, as it over heats and shut the card down.

I run the x42 and g12 on fe 1080ti.

same as the 1080, will throttle, not crash. If it's crashing it will be the overclock, not the temps. Or it's not the GPU causing the crash.

im not overclocked, and this rabbit hole of mine gets deeper and deeper as this computer now crashes when attempting to update windows 

[Mick Naughty]

Do you have onboard graphics?
 

Or just list the system full specs

[Este]

i have a 1500x  so no i do not. 

the list goes.

ryzen 1500x

Asus prime x370-pro

corsair rgb 16gb 3000hz

nvidia 1080 asus turbo 

samsung evo 950 250gb nvme

watercooled and stuff

thats all 

[Mick Naughty]

And psu
So you aren't getting any blue screens. Just shuts down, any attempts to restart buy itself. Or is it just freezing and the screen goes blank?

[Este]

850rx by corsair. 

and the screen just cuts out, doesnt respond. the system still runs but i cant get the screen back. so i have to reboot it. 

like if i try to do this update, it just cuts and the system just runs without it coming back 

[Mick Naughty]

Ok, so this wasn't happening before the cooler was added?

Ive had the same issue. Had to use DDU and reinstall. Did it twice for the issues went away.

[Este]

yeah i had to install the DDU and the nvidia drivers from it crashing cause it did that 5 min into boot(screen is a Samsung cfg70 24") and the gpu was in a different computer and it wasnt doing this.
