Question System freezes after changing GPU

[Lukarios]

Hello, I just upgraded to 4070 ti super from 2080 super and I am experiencing freezes.
Freezes occur when I boot games and benchmarks. I have ran Unigine Heaven benchmark and noticed that GPU immediately gets on ~90% load, CPU as well. After 2 seconds both monitors freeze and I am forced to reboot the system. I did MemTest86 and got no errors, uninstalled old GPU drivers and installed new ones. Also CPU and Chipset drivers are up to date. I am out of ideas.

My specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x3D
GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 4070 ti super Ventus 3x OC 16GB GDDR6X + Alphacool Eisblock Aurora RTX 4070 ti Ventus with backplate
MOBO: X570 Aorus Master
RAM: G.SKILL 64GB (4x16GB) 3600Mhz CL16 TridentZ RGB Neo
PSU: Corsair HX1200i 1200W 80 Plus Platinum

Is your motherboard BIOS up to date?

It was outdated, I just updated BIOS but nothing changed, problem still persists

Download afterburner and try turn down OC!, Maybe GPU is overclocking to much?

How do I turn off standard OC in Afterburner?

 

[XxDarkMario20xX]

Core Clock And Memory Clock Just Just try downclock speed little at a time by those circles and press tick. Numbers will so - when you turn down speed. Also you can turn the fan speed up!

I am already at -214 on both clocks. Should I go even further? I'm not sure if that's safe

Do not think downclocking will make halm just overclocking can make halm. I would test games to see if it freezes with -214. If it carrys on freezing then hopefuly people can guide you futher.

Unfortunetely it still freezes, I've tested on both games and benchmark

Remove all overclocks (CPU, GPU, memory). Is the system stable at stock settings?

Turned off XMP, AMD stock core booster, cranked all the way down both core and memory in Afterburner. Still no change

Do you still have your old GPU or any other one?

Yes, I do. However I am running full custom water loop, so swaping gpus is very problematic

Understood. Seems you swapped GPUs and problems started occurring. You need to isolate the problem and that is unfortunately what you need to do.

What are your temps like on your CPU because think you tried everything you can with GPU!

When I boot games and benchmarks it gets to 70°C immediately

That isn't bad. What is the temp at idle and then under full load? Is 70C the max?

 

[Lukarios]

Idle is about 35-40°, full load is 74 max

 

[COLGeek]

Idle is about 35-40°, full load is 74 max

Those are good and likely not an issue in any way. The GPU is the likely culprit.

 

[Lukarios]

I swapped back to old GPU and benchmark is running smoothly without any issues. Seems like it is GPU related after all

 

[Lukarios]

Maybe it's power related? I am using cable splitter that was included with GPU and 2 separate power cables as msi suggests but maybe I am missing something.

 

[COLGeek]

Unless you don't have a cable fully connected, it is very likely not the fault of the PSU. You have way more power there than you actually need.

The splitter could be defective, I suppose.

 

[triplex1]

check the cables with new gpu aren't same with old gpu , there is your problem

 

[Lukarios]

I tried lowering the power limit in MSI Afterburner and now it doesn't crash on benchmark. However, GPU is making werid scratching like noises and benchmark is lagging a lot.
It seems like GPU is making that sound every frame.

 

[Lukarios]

Here is example of that noise
