Question Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super crashing under load ?

[Jason0709]

hi everyone,

I own a Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super 8G and since last year it has been crashing everytime i open a game or any 3D application. My screen would go black and gpu fans go at full speed. I can’t shutdown my pc because that so the only way to turn it off and on again is by pressing the power button. I tried the gpu in different rigs i have but no luck, i also cleaned the gpu and replaced the thermal pads and thermal paste but that didn’t help either. The only solution i found is to undervolt the gpu to 0.900v (900mv) at 1820 mhz. The normal voltage for this card is 1.050v. This gpu never had overheating problems so im not sure what the problem is. Anyone that can help me/give me more information of why this is happening?

Any help would be appreciated,

Kind Regards,
Jason

If the GPU's behaving the same issue across all donor system's and your own, then (assuming you've ruled out that all the system's have the necessary power for the entire system with your discrete GPU populating the donor system's and your own) then the GPU is on it's way out if you're resorting to undervolting.

Just curious, what is the make and model of your PSU and their age? Donor system's PSU's and their ages? Card was purchased brand new? Not used?

I’m the first owner of this GPU and i’m guessing that there’s no possibility to fix this?
The PSU’s i use are Corsair CS750M and the Corsair RM750x

Gpu VRM likely on it's way out. I couldn't say whether it's fixable or not.
Prepare for a new gpu.

I’ve heard that dead/defective VRMS are a common problem with RTX 2070/2080 cards but i’m not sure how i will find the dead ones. I have a hot air station so to desolder them wouldn’t be a problem
