Hello guys!
In depth details about the problem:
I changed my VGA from a GTX 1080TI-to an INNO3D RTX 3070 ICHILL 3x. After playing some games my pc restarted without BSOD after 10-20 mins into the game. The screen just blacked out then instant reboot. Then I ran quite a few benchmarks and stress tests. It didnt reboot. Then i downloaded MSI Afterbourner, and changed the voltage setting (something to 9.56v ~ 1980mhz). With this undervolting I could play without problems. Then I tried what if i reset the settings and allow 108% TDP. I ran heaven benchmark and furmarks cpu burner for couple of minutes then restart came.
So I came to a conclusion whether my PSU is faulty or weak. It was an 1 years old Corsair RM650X which handled the 1080TI perfectly fine. I replaced it today with an NZXT C850 . I had to reassemble the whole pc to change the psu. So i double checked if anything was loose or not pluged all the way in. I used two separate PCIE cables too. I tried to play a game with the stock settings. It also rebooted after couple of minutes.
In my system everything is stock. I didnt oc-d anything. I never touched anything in the BIOS. I even DDU-d the old drivers in safe mode and installed a new one. Then i went back to an older driver.
All the temps are super good too (max 65C GPU 40-50C cpu). I reinstalled windows checked all the drivers.
The strange thing is that the card doesnt look faulty, everything is smooth and looks cool. The problem only occures when i dont restrict the gpu voltage. And even with stock setting I can play for couple of minutes. It even rebooted after 5-10 mins with stock settings when I was standing in one place in games more demanding than Valorant. I ran out of ideas. It is true that I could use my system perfectly with undervolting but I want everything to work as it should be if I spend that much on a VGA and a new PSU. This change in voltage setting wouldnt point to a bad power outlet in my house or something to houses wiring i think.
System specs:
WIndows 10 64 bit latest updates
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus pro motherboard (BIOS F11)
Intel I7 8700K CPU STOCK
DARK ROCK PRO 4 Cooler
4x4 GB Hyper X Fury DDR4 2666Mhz ram (XMP OFF)
INNO3D RTX 3070 ICHILL X3 VGA
2x Samsung SSD-s (SATA).
Gigabyte G32QC monitor connected with HDMI cable
Gladius 2 wireless mouse
Soundblaster G6 external soundcard
Many thanks in advance
