Hi, people.
This is a brand new card. I've just installed on my computer (that's also new) and went for tests. I've noticed immediately that something was strange. Temperatures were skyrocketing in a matter of seconds. After 1 minute or so it was reaching 90+ C already.
I've decided to change the way I was testing, always waiting for it to cool down a little bit, which was taking also a long time.
Performance is fine, GPU works as expected, what could be wrong? Went to MSI afterburner, everything seemed ok exceped... 100% FAN and no noise difference.
Opened my case and there it was: the fan never started. I can say that the GPU is pretty good at the tests performed, considering fan was not working.
Nevertheless, is there anything that I can try before returning it?
Changed power cables already and reattached the GPU, basically that was my "hard" troubleshooting.
Some specs:
i3 7100 with stock cooler (which is doing fine, BTW)
2x4GB DDR4 G.Skill
MSI B250M Mortar Arctic mATX
Thermaltake V21 core
Corsair TX-550W Gold
Win 10 Pro N
Thanks in advance for the help
