Hi everyone, lately I'm very baffled because of what the title suggested..
I upgraded my GPU from a faulty GTX 970 (lasted around 3 years) to GTX 1660 ti around 2019. Within a few months, my 1660 ti began to have 100% fan speed with no display. Went for a 1-to-1 exchange since it was under warranty, things worked fine until a year later, my 1660 ti broke down again with the same issue.
For the first time when I had that issue, I suspected that it was probably because I tend to adjust the fan speed higher because I was worried about the temperature (since 970 had lower temperature). Although I wasn't sure if this was really the main cause of the issue, I stopped doing that to the newly exchanged GPU. But seems like there were other underlying issues because it is a recurring issue.
I've already sent my faulty GPU for another exchange now, and it would be taking a few weeks before getting me a new one. So during this period, I'd just like to find out what was really the cause of this recurring issue before I made another "malfunction" again... Was it due to dust? Or was it due to CPU/motherboard? If that's the case, I'd say I rather invest on upgrades if that solves the problem...
Here's my specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700 @ 3.40GHz- Skylake 14nm Technology
Motherboard: MSI H170 GAMING M3 (MS-7978) (U3E1)
PSU: SeaSonic M12II 620 W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
RAM: 16.0GB Dual-Channel Unknown @ 1064MHz (15-15-15-35)
Would appreciate if anyone can advice me on anything about this...
