Question GPU Temps Have Skyrocketed After Replacing Motherboard

[redteamrocks]

Hello all,

Last night I replaced my motherboard because I suspected that it was going bad. Replacing the board seems to have fixed my original issue, however now my GPU temps are skyrocketing when gaming. Idle they sit around 32-35C but reach all the way up to 80-83 under load.

The card is an MSI 1080 Seahawk with a built in AIO cooler.

So far I've confirmed that the fans on the card and on the AIO are both spinning, no major obstructions. I have the fan pulling air up through the radiator, exhausting out of the case. I've also tried to check the pump on the card and I believe it's pumping but tbh I'm having a little trouble telling. The tubes and radiator are getting extremely got to the touch during gameplay.

At this point I'm not really sure what else to check. If anyone has anymore ideas, I would love to hear them/have some help. I've attached a pic of my PC to hopefully give some more context.

Thanks!!

Sounds like, on first thought, an air bubble. Might have gotten trapped when you replaced the motherboard. Try this. Lay the case on it's side, the side behind the motherboard tray where you hide the cables. Then power on. Let it run for a minute or two then slowly tilt the case back up to straight like normal. Check temps. If no change, do the same thing but with it laying on the other side. If no change, do the same thing but with it laying on the front of the case. What you are trying to do here is dislodge any trapped air bubbles and get them to go back up into the radiator where they belong.

Also, you should be able to see all of the relevant data including pump speed using MSI Afterburner. You'll probably have to "add" those readings, as noted here:

Hello,

This was really good info. I think I may have found the problem but if that doesn't work, I'll try yours next and go from there. Thanks!
