Inno 3D 980Ti Hybrid Temps

[Beer_MonsterUK]

I woke up to temperature issues on my INNO 3d Hybrid 980Ti when firing up The Division.

Having a look on Afterburner, it looks like the GPU is hitting 94 degs (In game), before throttling back & eventually idling around 60 oC (idle). I manually change the speed of the radiator fan and at idle it doesn't make a difference if it is at 0 or 100%, it'll still idle at ~60oC.

The only thing I can think of is it's a water pump issue. Can anyone offer any advice before I RMA it?

Have you had a look for any leaks on the connections or the rad.

 

[Beer_MonsterUK]

The case is bone dry, no obvious leaks at all.

Sounds as if the block/pump isn't seated properly on the GPU or the pump isn't working properly. Eitherway it warrants a Rma.

Remember someone saying that if you tilt the card a bit might fix the issue.

 

[Beer_MonsterUK]

Yeah, i thought of that, i figured it might be an air lock, but i've removed the card and gave it a bit of a shake. Still same issues.

Bah, looks like a slow RMA to South East Asia. I remember taking a gamble with this card and figured it was worth the slow RMA risk. Gamble lost.

 

[Beer_MonsterUK]

Well, I've RMA'd the card.

Lots of credit to OcUK, they emailed within minutes of receiving the card to say they are shipping it to Inno3d for repair/replacement. Now to see how Inno3d fair.

It's a little painful not having another Nvidia card to slot in whilst it's gone, but these things happen i guess.

max i see is 70 at some heavy usage with NO LIMITS

Almost a month without a GPU, Inno aren't fairing that well.

Ouch. Having to also send my Inno3D 980 Ti back in a couple of days for repair/replacement due to it failing. Not sure I fancy at least a month without a graphics card :/

Sounds familiar I had 2 non Hybrid Inno3D GTX 980 Ti's fail last summer my MSi 6G replacement has been flawless eversince

 

[Beer_MonsterUK]

It's ok, but having agar.io as my only form of gaming relief is wearing very thin.

 

[Beer_MonsterUK]

So sounds like Inno3d couldn't repair/replace the hybrid.

Got an email today from OcUK to expect a delivery of a EVGA GTX 980Ti Classified.

More than happy with the service from OcUK, not so much Innod3d.

Glad to hear you got a result. Will you not miss the AIO cooling though?

It's always funny with 'brands' aint it. I've had a great time with inno3d (2 x 780Ti's, one of which I still use in my work rig).
On the other hand I would never touch a Gigabyte GPU now. Had 3 go **** up on me over the last 5 years or so.

 

[Zeed]

Its random in my eyes. Does not matter if its Inno3d Asus MSI or whateve. If it will brake IT WILL no matter what

 

[Beer_MonsterUK]

It is true, but I'll pay more attention to RMA policies in the future. A month without a card it too excessive for me. It's ok if you have a replacment to tide you over, but it's been a long month.
