As a sideline to Lutfij's answer, have you tried to manually flick the fans into motion. I had a new card once and the fans seemed quite tight (to turn) at first, the motors weren't able to get started, but once in motion they were okay. After a while they loosened up. If even with help they...

If you bought the PC as a full system speak with the seller? You may be protected by a warranty or something - depending on your curcumstances.

Looks impressive and pricey! But mostly pricey!

Competition = getting more performance for less money !! The time of monopolistic prices is for now, over.

Question - You've only found out about your CPU temperature by accident? Are you saying nothing bad was happening - no stuttering - no crashing - no running really really slow - in fact you think it was like this for a year without realising how high the temps were. If that's the case - there...

Sorry, I am not familiar enough with Windows 10 to help you with that - but in device manager I would expect to see just the one card listed under display adaptors.

I've no idea how good this is : https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator I visited, plugged in as best I could your parts list into the form and got a result of load wattage of 380W and recommended of 433W. You are welcome to repeat the exercise yourself and draw your own conclusions...

I can see this question is resolved more or less and I think getting a new cooler is the best long term solution. A comment I can make from experience is that I had a stuck corsair pump and managed to coax it to life by booting up with the PC laying on its side, (motherboard laying face up and...

Ok, what I would suggest then is to make sure the overheat protection / shutdown for your CPU is enabled in the bios. That way if anything does go wrong you can reduce a meltdown risk. Next I'd suggest you experiment with various free monitoring software to double check what's going on...

Ok, I understand you, and yes usually on my new builds the first thing I do is check temps. But you can see my point though that if nothing bad is happening it may be that the temperature value isn't real. For that reason I'd at least try and get another opinion Eg check with another bit of...

Q - what are you using to determine temperature? I only ask because you state the over temperature exists at idle and gaming but you're not saying you are seeing any performance issues. I don't know about everyone else but usually any time I've had a temperature issue it has really badly...

But I thought you said "then removed the GPU and put my old one but the old one was doing exactly the same" So GPU1 does not work in either PC GPU2( the old one) does not work in PC1 and does not fit in PC2 (you may have to lay the components on an old motherboard box outside of the case and...

So - so far on your PC (call it PC 1) you have had a problem with GPU 1... then you tried GPU 2 with no change. You also tried GPU 1 in a different machine (PC 2) with a 550W PSU - no change. Trying again with GPU1/2? with PC1 after a CMOS reset also had no change. So, neither GPU1 or GPU2...

Check that the CMOS has not gone screwy and reset it maybe? However, reading around other threads like this one I regret the cause is something that has broken and its not as simple as a checkbox that has become (un)ticked.
