1080 TI stops responding when mildy warm

[errantchef]

Whenever my new Auros Extreme 1080 TI 11GB reaches 74C it just shuts down, crashing any game open. The case is well ventilated, drivers updated and has some decent juice (750W PSU), but whenever I max it out (example: Overwatch in 4k with all Ultra at 144hz), it just crashes the driver and forces me to lower everything and stay under 70C. Cards nowadays can go well over 80 and even 90, so I fail to see why this safety is in place.

Any idea?

Set your power settings in Windows 10 control panel to "high performance".

Was already done

Uninstall every piece of overclocking and monitoring software. Clean all display drivers with DDU (free program). Reboot. Enter BIOS and completely disable Intel graphics. Install Nvidia drivers.

If that doesn't work it could be your power supply, or your card is defective. If it is, the VRM's are more than likely the culprit.

Did all that (installed the only version of drivers officially supported by GB) and will confirm tomorrow if it solved anything.

Did you manage to solve the problem?

Nope. Using Aorus horrible control panel to undervolt it so it doesn't go over 73, while pending an RMA

I see. Please post when your RMA is complete. I'm having the same issue, but i haven't checked if there's any certain temperature threshold.
After work, i'll try the same VGA in another system (mobo + psu + memm + cpu).
Thanks for the reply.
