Hej,
So yesterday a hardtube in my watercooling setup broke (dunno how that happened all of the sudden wither me changing/moving anything)
Lucky me the crack had been on the side besides the front radiator so the hardware has not gone wet, as far as I noticed.
I have built everything back to air cooling for now, but I have made a mistake. At first I have forgotten to connect the fan on my zotac 1080gtx ti.
I booted the system, got a screen and everything. Then I noticed, that the GPU had a temperature of 95°C (Got that displayed right on my desktop) and just as I noticed the screens went black.
Okay, woops. I connected the fan and booted again. Everything seemed to be working kind of okay now.
graphics card had a temp of 60°C (which I think is quite high in idle) and I wanted to start up a game to test.
I got into the game screen and even got into my savegame, then all my screens went black and the GPU fan was getting loud, but I could still hear sound.
After rebooting again one of my screens was still black, but that was fixed by replugging the cable.
So, today I want to take a closer look if I can isolate the problem. I got a few spare parts to swap.
I am afraid my graphics card is broken.
My question is:
Anyone got ideas how to fix this?
Or any other ideas what could be the problem besides the graphics card?
Drivers are up to date and browsing the internet is working fine. I have only tested one game so far, as it was getting late.
I was planning on getting a new PC at the end of the year, when some new hardware is released, so I am hesitant to get new parts now.
