Hey all,
So my PC had to be RMA'd due to a fault of the CPU. So I had sent the PC back to them to RMA right before Xmas last year.
One day I decided to purchase a game from Steam and I was asked if I would like to install the game to my PC remotely..and I thought ok, the PC is on and is being tested by the technician. However, this was during the xmas holidays and the company stated they would be off for a 4-5 days in the week of xmas.
Every single day they were closed, the PC was also on.
My friends also asked me how I got my hands on a game called Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which is an MMO that was temporarily closed for sale. My Xbox account was also online on the PC which showed to everyone on my friends list that I was playing this. I monitored for how long this was ongoing and it was throughout the 4-5 days that the company were off from work.
So now I have found out that my PC was on, in game for at least 4-5 days straight. I know this because every day I opened Steam on my phone to see if I still had the option to remotely install games onto my PC.
I have a 3090 too..and the memory junction temperatures on these cards are something else! They can go excessively high!
So I managed to actually buy the game for myself as Square Enix lifted the sales restrictions and I loaded up the game I noticed the memory junction temperatures going to the higher end of the card. Now I can only imagine what was going on during that unsupervised time off with the PC when it was on with this game the entire 4-5 days.
Just playing the game for less than an hour the card was pushing the GPU's memory junction temperature into the mid 80s(THIS IS WITH MY UNDERVOLT SETTINGS)..Now I am thinking how this would increase throughout the 4-5 days it was left on the whole time.
So I have two questions..
1 - Can there be damage done to a PC that is left on under load in an MMO game for a few days straight? Would I see the damaged now or is it a waiting game?
2 - Are there any tests out there that can help infer the health of my graphics card?
