Odd PCIe GPU issue please help

Yeah I think so any way to fix it or should try and get a replacement/repair from MSI

There are youtube videos on fixing this issue (usually using a pin) - and if the damage is slight it usually has good results.

I suspect you would have to pay for fixing - unless you think you have a chance with rma - but if not i suspect the cost would be close to a new board.

I would try a fix first.

Would a bent cause above problems do u think?

Yes - any and all.

Have you had any other problems?

Restating CPU has seam to have fixed the issue for now

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 17:36

Great - simple fix hopefully.

Glenn · 12 May 2017 at 17:41

CPU temp seam high now
60 idle and 95+ under load

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 17:46

yes too high.

Clean both CPU and HS - re-apply TIM and reseat.

Ok I guess I'll have to run out and get some

That will teach me for taking shortcuts

Worth a shot

I wouldn't remove CPU again as you may not get the same contact again (you probably weren't going to but just making sure)

Look like that sorted it 35 idle 50 60 under load

Thank you very much for your help

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 21:35

No problem - hope it behaves itself.

Plec · 12 May 2017 at 21:35

And a belated welcome to the forums

Glenn · 12 May 2017 at 21:36

Thank you

Sent MSI the above photo and told them issue I was having

There response was that the bent pin affects CPU voltage so it would have no affect on my GPU card so I should contact GPU card manufacturer

Poor customer support IMO
