Thanks everyone! I talked to EVGA and they are replacing the screw kit for $10. I think I will simply sell the whole desktop rather than parting it out, but it will be good for the buyer to have the screws regardless.

Hello everyone, I have been wanting to upgrade my build, but current GPU (3080ti EVGA XC3 Ultra) has a waterblock. I have the stock cooler and backplate, but I can't find any of the nuts and bolts for reinstalling it. I'd like to sell the card, but I don't know what kind of price to offer...

Thanks folks, I went ahead and turned off the form autocomplete on my mobile.

Had some insomnia and was doomscrolling. Clicked a FB ad on mobile which took me to this site:removed (Actually an iframe containing of the true site which was removed) Used autofill and I think the page used hidden fields to get information beyond just first name and email. Is anyone able to...

Got an update: called up Gigabyte and they said they will service the card under the warranty, no need for registration. This is great news! Just shipped it out yesterday and I'm looking forward to seeing how it will do once it comes back. Thanks for the help

Thanks yall. Did the 50% static fan speed test and it looks like will still kick up to 4000 RPM during high temperatures. Did this with afterburner and aorus engine from gigabyte. I'm guessing that 4000 RPM is some kind of failsafe mode that runs alongside throttling and is intended keep the...

These fans are all "ugly side" facing towards the rear so yeah it's pulling hot air from the cpu cooler rather than pushing. Never been having too many problems with CPU temperatures before or after putting the air cooler on (AIO that came with the computer started making an annoying noise too.)...

here it is: View: https://imgur.com/a/i4qrMWm Have to get back to ya on results with changing the power slider. Thanks for the suggestion

This is a good thought and I appreciate it but unfortunately I bought the whole computer off of a reseller on ebay and didn't notice any issue until well outside of the returns window. Don't know if I'm comfortable with taking the cooler off of the card, but maybe a local computer repair shop...

Thanks, I'll look into it. TIL gigabyte has their own GPU control software. Update: Gigabyte Aorus's 100% speed seems to put the card at ~3000RPM as well. Still goes up to 4000 RPM when at higher temperatures unfortunately. Wish I could just have a way to keep it at this 4000 RPM for the whole...

Hello, Got a Gigabyte 8G RTX 2070 Super. Been playing games for the last couple of years with settings turned way down because the fans will spin up to over 4k RPM whenever it gets into the high 70s. It will run for a couple of seconds at this high speed, then go back down to an inaudible speed...
