Question GPU dies out of nowhere for the 2nd time -please help prevent 3rd

[shachar12]

please help me find out why my GPUs keep dying
Ive had rtx 2070 for several years and it died while playing (green and and purple lines, solved when i removed it and used integrated gpu in the motherboard)
i replaced it and now a year later while doing nothing but using the internet the new rtx 2070 died (white lines running all over the place, fixed by removing again)
So my question is - is there any thing i should change in my pc\pc's room in order to keep this from happening again? how do i now its not the power supply frying it or the fan not working good enough?
I dont want to buy a new GPU just fot it to break down again...

Make sure your Power Supply is at least 200 Watts above the card recommendation.

Doesn’t need to be, extra wattage does not offset poor quality.

What exact psu do you have?

If you are using less than the recommended power supply, then it will kill the devices that require more wattage.

That would be incorrect. If you overload a good quality PSU it will just trip the protections and shut down and not kill anything.

Now if you use some generic pile then yes it could kill other components as they tend to be dangerous at any load(so even over compensating does little to avoid the danger), overloading one just increases the odds of smoke, sparks and/or fire.

You are incorrect and not a PC Afficianado. You come here to ask questions then berate the answers. I am no longer participating in this discussion.

I asked no question here as i'm not the OP of this thread. I was just disputing your incorrect information.

Overloading a PSU to trip protections is a core component of any good PSU review.

If this is the kind of help you intend to provide then not participating is about the best thing you can do

System specs along with the make and model of the PSU would be helpful.

Thats not even vaguely true.

Probably best you don't then because he is correct and came out with factual, plain English to make his point.

Unlike yourself, who came out with a vague and misleading statement that was bereft of fact. Feel free to link me up to credible sources for your 'facts'.

What even this thread for heaven's sake

He (I assume) was asking OP's PSU my man, not yours

That being said, while yes running a PSU with less wattage than what the part requires will shut it down, if it's a good quality PSU it won't kill it. Meanwhile a poor quality PSU can kill the part, the wattage doesn't even matter. A 2000W sewer-quality generic no-name PSU can still kill a component if it's built poorly, while a 650W high-quality PSU might only shut down the PC if it can't supply enough power, but not kill the part.

I've experienced this first hand, and while I'm not jonnyguru or anything, I know this is just plain misleading

my PSU is "Seasonic FOCUS GM-650, 650W 80+"
i have arctic freezer 33esport one and gigabyte z390 motherboard.
any other details?

Unlikely a PSU issue. It could have be heat, did you ever check temps? It could have also just have been bad luck.

i checked temperature sometimes, didnt see anything irregular.
if it is a sudden spike in heat is there any way to prevent this aside from constantly checking the temperature?

and one last thing, if it's really a heat issue do you thing to resolve this i will need a different fan? an extra fan? something else?
thanks!
