Ok so, a few weeks back I had this problem, then it went away. I assumed it was just some software issues or perhaps a outdated driver. Now it is happening again. I did what anyone else would do. I rerouted my cables for best airflow, bump up case fan rpms, and checked temps if anything was overheating. I deeply researched and reliezed that the normal tempature for a gpu is around 70 or 80 ( Maybe not ?). But here are my specs so you will understand next part :
CPU : AMD FX 8350
GPU : EVGA GTX 970 SC
MB : ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0
RAM 8GB ADATA XPG V2 DDR3
CASE : Phanteks Enthoo Pro
CPU Cooler : Corsair H100
PSU : I honestly dont know exact brand but its 550w
Ok so here is what my honest opinion is, and I want to know if I am wrong or if I am right. While gaming, I can do so for about 20-30 mins ( Depends on game really). And suddenly my screens go black and read "No input signal" and the audio completely spams making a unexplainable noise. I think it might be the GPU overheating ? I read on Nvidias help page that their GPUs will shut down if it gets crazy with heat.
But I set the fan speeds to go 70% at about 80c and full throttle at 90c. If my GPU is dying im gonna be pretty pissed cause its decently new, and I take care of it (I know I might be overlooking it but still). Perhaps its my PSU, I dont know. If it is my GPU, should I set the fan curve higher, or should I invest in a water cooler ( I am financially capable of buying one if that's what its gonna take ).
