RTX 3090 issues
Just started having issues with my 3090. The pictures are right around the 10 min mark of a stress test. Over the past two days I’ve had my computer do the black flickering then just freeze 3 times while gaming. Never recovered just frozen and kept running until I turned it off (long hold on power button). When gaming probably happened about two hours in, sorta heavy game (WarDogs) GPU usually sits around 80-83c. This stress test was with side panel off as I just blew it out.
I’ve never replaced the thermal pads. (Considering doing this but never done it before)
Never had issues like this in the past.
Computer was purchased Jan of 2022 a CyberPower rig.
i7-12700k
32gb Ram
RM850 psu
No overclocking
3 monitors- 2x1440p and a 3440x1440 monitor.
Any advice is welcome, I’ve seen that these over heat but it’s been that hot in the past. I want to make sure I’ve done everything else before thermal pads as I’ve never done them. All softwares are up to date. What else do ya think?
