I bought a 1080ti FTW3 recently and I have been having problems with it causing my PC to lockup hard in game even at low temperatures. I am running a 3770k at 3.9GHz and 5 times now in Dota 2 it has suddenly revved up to 100% fan RPM with my screens going black forcing me to hard shut down my PC. This is only at temperatures of around 50-55C. However I have yet to have it shut down whilst playing games like Assassins Creed syndicate where it runs at 60-70C so it seems to not be a temperature problem. The only time it crashed in Assassins creed was when I clicked closed to desktop when it suddenly revved up like before and I had to restart. This crash has happened once before when I was installing it and I by mistakenly touched one of its power cables slightly.

I think it is a power problem but I am running it off two separate PCie 6+2 power cables from a Corsair ax 1200 gold power supply which I would have thought would provide ample power. Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is doing my head in and I would not want to RMA my card only for the issue to persist due to power problems.

If anything overclocked? If it is, set things to stock speeds. Check for a BIOS update, run with one RAM stick at a time. If none of that helps you can try a clean Windows setup to rule out any software issues, test the card in another system to see if it's the card. PSU is good quality, but that does not fully rule it out from not working properly. Only way to know for sure if it's the card or power supply is to swap them out with known good units and see if issue goes away.

Currently my cpu and ram is overclocked however that was never a problem for my previous 780 acx sc and it all runs fine without the card in the computer. I can try putting everything back to stock however frustratingly I do not currently have access to a second system in which to test the card to prove for sure what is the problem.

Hi hac13,

I have been having the same exact issue in your original post. I have the same exact equipment too, EVGA GTX1080ti FTW3 and Corsair AX1200i. I too thought it might be power supply related, but considering how intermittent the issue is, I think it's more related to the GPU, RAM, or motherboard. I have tried different power plugs off the power supply and same result. Did you ever figure out what was causing it? Memtest86 cleared my RAM, but I'm not sure that test is bulletproof. I guess I need to download whocrashed and start analyzing dump files.

Asus RIVE 2011 w/ Intel 4930k (no overclocking)
64GB Gskill RAM
GTX 1080ti FTW3
Corsair AX1200i

Thanks,
Jeff

I have a SImilar issue.. crashing under Load, GPU hits 100% and crashes. event at 47c temps ?
but If I MAX out the Fan, OR underclock my GPU, it resolves the issue.

I have done extensive trouble shooting
its a combination of High GPU usage and Power 90 to 100 % and have the Fan Curve Default.
Basically, OC mode, gaming Mode and event Silent Mode will crash with the Default Fan curve in Asus GPU tweak, in a Open Case setup , Open air flow pretty much.


1080p Fortine crashes around 60c. You can see the gpu get 100% and then drop.
Forza 3 4k crashes at 47 c. Same thing.

I can get fortine 1080p running ok with FULL manual fan 100% or a super aggressive Fan Curve. maxing out fan around 45 to 50c.

Forza 3 4k,, not even the full FAN can make it stable. I have to add external house fan blowing at the whole PC, to get it to 43c , then it runs ok.


I tough this cards can get up to 80c ?
I disable the GPU fan, in gpu tweak.. let the PC idle.. GPU temps kept climbing and climbing till it reach 81c. i got scared and turn on the fan again.
like wtf. is the heat sink not enough to hold the temp at idle ?




My Specs
Node 202 case: shell only. Open air. for testing.
SF Corsair 600w PSU
i7 7700k,, NO over clock . CPU temps around 70c.. when gaming. CPU not at 100%
16gb Corsair Vengance 3200, no xmp enable, default bios settings.
m.2 256 Kingstone Drive.
1 usb xbox RF receiver.
Asus Strix 1080 ti OC 11gb
Lates Nvidia drviers. from Nvidia website.
win10 Pro 1803


If I RMA with Asus or BHphoto vendor ? will the swap it out with another feburbish unit. or probably just Re-do the thermal paste on my own unit and send it back ?

This is frustating, I remmeber My card would be stable at around 75 to 80c. with the case cover on. Only had it for about 5 months.


Thx in advance for the help
