Hello, I've been running into a problem pretty frequently lately and it seems whenever I run a pretty graphic intensive game, my GPU tends to heat up fairly quickly and around 65-75 degrees it'll just cut out any display and act as if the computer is restarting, but the display won't come back until I do a hard reset. The computer is only a couple months old so I'm pretty worried I got a faulty part, but here's the specs:
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77
EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2662-KR GeForce GTX 660 2GB
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3B/240G 2.5" 240GB SSD
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Additional Samsung 2TB HDD
And I have a Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower so ventilation shouldn't really be a problem
I haven't overclocked anything, all settings are default. I downloaded Precision X to create automatic fan speeds and that seems to have curbed the problem somewhat, but it doesn't solve the problem and that bothers me. I have my fan running at about 60% at 60 degrees so it's obviously pretty loud.
This first started happening when I was playing Smite, lowering the video quality didn't seem to do much, the GPU was running at like 60 degrees even before I joined a game. Enabling vertical sync seemed to fix that problem all together, but now trying to play BioShock Infinite my temps are back up around 65-70. I've done my research and I know this isn't even that hot, but when I turn the automatic fan control off in Precision X, it goes right back to automatically shutting down after ~30 seconds of being at 65+ degrees.
I could always run Precision X and have a loud GPU, but obviously something isn't right because it shouldn't have to run like that. Any suggestions, ideas, tips? I have speedfan monitoring my temps and the GPU is the only thing running hot, I think the hottest I've seen it was at like 74 degrees. I'd just RMA the GPU and not even think about it, but I don't have a spare computer and I use it on a daily basis for school. I can't go 1-2+ weeks without it.
Best,
Hasurat
