Yeah, I need to go and get a few more fans. Used to have a whole stockpile of them lying around, but I moved recently and didn't take them with. I had decent airflow with the 970, a fan on the back taking cool air in, and the fan from the GPU blowing air out. Spot where the GPU fan was is just...

Not at the house right now, but I'll do that when I get back and edit this message with results. Edit: Went through all the steps you mentioned, temps showing around 75 C for Gpu Core, and 85 C for Gpu Hot Spot. I honestly have no clue what 'hot spot' means, I'm guessing that the 75 is probably...

...What do you mean, full specs? Already said what the GPU is, everything else should be pretty irrelevant. I already posted my CPU and RAM, don't even remember what my mobo is--none of which should have any bearing on GPU temperature, anyways.

Intel i7-9700K AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 16 GB RAM I am realizing now that the airflow is probably pretty garbage--the only case fan I have is tucked behind the honkin' cooler I've got on my CPU. Didn't need anything more than that before 'cause my old card had watercooling. Might try removing the...

For the longest time I've been using an old GTX 970, and decided it was time to upgrade. I saw an RX 6700 XT that I could afford a few days ago, and ordered it. Now that it has gotten here, it's not performing like I was hoping it would. For starters, I was getting slightly better framerates on...

Because it wasn’t separate. Ordered a barebones computer, and that was a part of it. Newegg said I’d have to return the whole thing to get it replaced.

To return it I'd have had to send back the whole thing--mobo, case, cpu... didn't want to do that. Took a few tries to find one that would work--kept running into issues with not having all the right connections, but eventually I got to one that worked. Was the NZXT Kraken, I think. Only the...

The cooler I've got is called the 'GAMDIAS CHIONE M1A 240R 240mm RGB All-In-One CPU Liquid Cooler' https://www.newegg.com/gamdias-liquid-cooling-system/p/N82E16835099003 I've tried getting a good video of the noise, but it's only barely audible to the ear--It gets almost completely washed out...

Recently upgraded my CPU, went from a Xeon X5650 to an I7 9700K. Got this, compatible memory, a new PSU, and transferred my hard drive and video card over...

Figured out what the problem actually was. A capacitor blew somewhere (probably the PSU). There was a popping noise followed by a burning smell. It was ancient anyways though.

It isn't related to the framerate because I have it locked at 60, but it does whine if it exceeds that by a decent bit (around 200). But I can deal with coil whine easy enough, I can't even hear it unless I take off my headphones. Thanks for the replies, though. Wanted to make sure it wasn't...

My GPU is the GTX 970. It's started making an odd noise when I play games. The game in question is very hard on the video card, but it runs it with no performance or temperature issues. The average temperature when playing is 55-65 Celsius. It only happens while I'm playing a game, so I...

Yes, I'm 100% sure they are plugged in correctly. I just tested what RALPH50 suggested, and the psu does work by itself.
