Alright I'll provide the 2nd pic a bit later when I get back to my computer, and I'll try MX-4 and see what happens

Alright, I made sure not to over-tighten any of the screws. I checked the thermal pads and they seemed fine. I'll order some MX-4 although I believe for this specific scenario the thermal paste brand is not the issue. What happened is actually the opposite due to (I believe) poor contact between...

okay well good news is I took heed your suggestion about the loose heatsink, and turns out I apparently don't know how to properly install a heatsink. There was little to no contact whatsoever between the heatsink and the actual GPU. I readjusted the heatsink, tightened the screws as much as I...

Yep I've tried underclocking the card and lowering the voltage, same issue though

Yeah it's screwed as much as it can be, and as for the heat yeah I can feel it if I put my hand close enough while its spiking

I used Noctua's NT-H1 thermal paste, and I did change the power management to adaptive, although it yielded no significant changes.

Airflow of the case is fine, I currently have the front panel open to work on the card and I believe the case has 7 fans in total

Yes to the best of my abilities, using rubbing alcohol to clean the thermal paste and compressed air to clean out the fans and heatfins.

I recently bought a used GTX 1080, and immediately upon booting up to windows 10 I checked MSI afterburner, and the temps were rising, only stopping at 94c. It then lowers down to around 30-40c, and intermittently has sudden spikes back up to 94c. All of this is just idling, under no load. Under...

So I recently purchased a 1080 TI, and upon originally running the card, everything was working fine. The fans and LEDs would turn on, and it'd work as normal. Now a few days later, the card will turn on and I can boot into windows just fine, but the fans and LEDs will not turn on. I checked the...

Actually I tried different CPU temp checking softwares, and they all reported my cores being normal. It appears that only hardware monitor is displaying my temps as abnormal. I'm thinking maybe this is just a software malfunction

I'll try a different CPU and mobo and see if the problem still persists

I'm fairly sure the AIO is working. I have everything plugged in, and I feel the vibrations in the tubes. There's no bent pins on the motherboard as well.

I just put together my pc a few days ago, and I used a used kraken x61. The computer turns on and runs just fine, but when I take a look at hardware monitor, I'm seeing that multiple cores are hitting over 100c, while other cores are staying around 35c. This is all while idling. I'm not sure...

Ended up being the CPU cable
