[SOLVED] Zotac 1060 issue

[devi8trix]

I have a zotac gtx 1060 3gb mini that has been having problems. It seems to work just fine for a few days, but eventually starts crashing when I play games. If I remove it and put it back in a few days later, it's fine. What is wrong with the card?

Maybe a faulty piece, can you still RMA it?

So it turns out that it had really crappy thermal paste that would melt after a while. Replaced it with tg7 from Thermaltake and it works fine
