Card: EVGA 1080TI FTW3 Block: EKWB FTC 1080 Nickel and plexi Old thermal paste: Thermal grizzly Kryonaut New thermal paste: Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut I've got an 6 year-old 1080ti which has been watercooled for the same amount of time and never changed thermal paste (flaming me is...

Great, thank you!

I have decided to swap out my beloved 1080ti and just got my new RX 6800 XT in the mail. I am about to do the swap, but realized I need to wipe the OS for NVIDIA drivers. The problem I face now, is that my system and thus GPU runs in a watercooled loop, from where I have drained it and removed...

My apologies, I am frantically trying to get the issue resolved before my pregnant dictator wife demands me to leave the pc. I updated the BIOS firmware and drivers. The update was about 2 months ago. My spec list is: CPU: I7-9700K (Custom watercooled) MOBO: Asus Prime Z-390A RAM: 32GB DDR4...

I was in my BIOS for about 15 minutes looking around, only change being enabling XMP to then Disable it again, as i decided not to touch it tonight. I recently updated my mobo hence why the XMP profile is not disabled. I did not save the changes after enabling the XMP, so ultimately I made no...

Quoting my reply from above for clarification For the past 5 years it was drained and cleaned yearly, and as stated in the quote, flushed with Mayhems blitz about one year ago. I have however never swapped the thermal paste, which i fully know should be done more often than 5 years - So while I...

Yea I know, and first i suspected the new loop to be the cause, as I downgraded from 1x 360 +1x 240 rad to only a 240 rad, for now an i7-9700k and my GPU. And no doubt the loop is much warmer than usual, but my CPU does not climb at all in temps when my GPU spikes at 92-95 degrees, and I can...

NOTE: Measures are Celcius, data mentioned found in attached pictures I recently swapped some components to a new build, and after doing that my GPU has been throttling to an insane degree. I have an 1080TI FTW3 which I have been running in a custom loop for about 5 years now. It has always...

I recently switched several components I bought from a friend who went abroad, including PSU,MOBO,CPU whom all are under a year old. I kept my GPU,RAM, and all drives. As mentioned, I had the same issue with my old build, and as I only kept the above listed hardware, the GPU is my best bet...

For the past year or so, about 30 seconds or so after I boot my system and get to windows log-on, all my monitors black-screens for about 5 seconds. After that nothing happens at all before I boot my pc again. I suspect it has something to do with my GPU, and have tried to find the error in...

Specs: CPU and GPU are watercooled in a custom loop, and at the CPU's current default settings, it reaches high 30's without load, and approx. 60 under full load. CPU: I7-9700K GPU: EVGA FTW3 1080 TI MOBO: Asus Prime z390-A Ram: 32 GB DDR4 3200 mhz PSU: EVGA 1000W I have had some stubborn...

It's a virtual disk image.

Before explaining my issue in depth, here is a list of my drives included in the issue. Drive list: 960 EVO 500GB M2 970 EVO 500GB M2 (always solely used for OS and software except steam. 860 EVO 1TB SSD 860 EVO 265GB SDD Seagate 2TB HDD (DEAD) Toshiba 6TB HDD (DEAD) I recently had a...

And can the VRM's be provided with such airflow given they are somewhat covered by the "waterblock"? Thanks for the help so far!

I have an ASUS Maximus XI Formula that I have been using for some years now with a custom loop. The board features cooling internally on the VRM's and my question here is as I am cosidering a new build without water cooling, does these cooling features need to be used in a running loop, or can...
