Hey!
Hello there!
I bought a used asus rog strix 1070 the other day (was able to return it, dont have it on me) and it was overheating very badly. If i ran any demanding game or benchmark, it went up to 93-95c with 100% fan speed in 10sec and started throttling. The wierdest part is that when i returned to the seller we tried it again in his pc and it was working perfectly on 73c with like 40% fan speed and even his idle temps were 10c lower than mine, i had 40c with the fans randomly ramping up. So the paste should be fine. Now we have quite simular cases, i have a phanteks p400 and he got an nzxt s340 elite both with 4 simular quality fans so airflow is not the problem. I wanted to switch my xfx rx580 8gb gts xxx card and it runs just as it should, mid 70s while gaming. The amd driver was removed with ddu in safe mode, than i tried 3 differend nvidia drivers to no avail. At this point i had the opportunity to return, so i did.
I already posted on reddit and LTT forum, and the only reply that is worth considering was that even though it only had a little sag i used a lego supporter that i use for my 580 as well to prevent it, while the seller used it without one, and a guy said that the paste could have behaved differently because of that.
What i think i should have done is at least look at the power draw but i did not think of that at the time.
Though i had no stability issue.
What could have been the problem? My friends dont have a 1070 that i could try, so i dont know if i should try buying an other one while the used market is amazing rn. That asus card would have been a reeeeaaaaly good buy for the price so this is a bummer.
Specs:
Case: Phanteks p400 (with 2x front 140 intake and 2x 120 exhaust on the back and top.)
MOBO: Asrock b450 pro4 (with up to date bios)
CPU: Ryzen 5 2600 @3.9 with a dual fan hyper 212
RAM: g skill aegis 2*8gb ddr4 3000mhz
PSU: Corsair tx550m 80+ gold
