I have a PC I had custom built in 2016. It has:
CPU: Intel 5930K
RAM: 32gb DDR4 2666mhz
GPU: GTX Titan X Hybrid (Liquid cooled from EVGA)
A few months ago the computer started crashing during graphics intensive gaming and seems to have gotten worse over time. GPU temps at idle would be around 50C and then jumping to 95C during gameplay (which is extremely high for a liquid cooled GPU. Back when I first got the PC idle temps would be like 32C and maybe 50-60C curing high end gameplay.
Today, I took the PC out and took it to where we have an AC compressor and I blew it out with air. The EVGA radiator was covered in dust, and now everything is nice and clean. I hooked everything back up and now the Titan X is sitting at 91C at idle!! 1% usage!!
I emailed NVIDIA support and asked them about it and they basically told me that I'm out of warranty. They offered zero help in troubleshooting. I emailed them back asking for help and they replied with one sentence: You can try re-applying thermal paste.
Any help here?
