No I didn't it was founders edition so only through Nvidia/ their distributor that is OCUKs competitor.Did you buy it from here?if you did they obviously now know you swapped the cooler, i would phone them and have a chat with them about it, see what they say.
I'm telling you man this new connector is probably causing more issues than people realise. It just seems like its so sensitive and prone to various issues. So many people I spoke to about the issues I had said the GPU was probably dead but had no explanation as to why like 90% of the time it would work without a hitch. As you say I think this could be it, just working its way out slowly over time. I have no other explanation. I'm no expert but I've been building PCs for over 10 years now and never had issues like this before.
Yes, one of their 4 way adaptors
In which case i am 95% sure it is the cable causing you issues . I am on my THIRD!! cable after the last 2 caused exactly what you are having , random black screen crashing . It is a known issue with the cablemod cables unfortunately... they say its due to the sense wires , contact their support page and they will ask you to cut up you existing cable before sending a new one out ( RMA ). For the time being using the standard Nvidia supplied adaptor and enjoy no black screens at all
I've ordered new ones anyway, a blue set with new 12VHPWR, I'm waiting for the new lian li evo xl to come out. Want to change up all the colours and use those new corsair link fans. Gonna have triple 360 rads. Cooling atm is okay but I think for a 4090 and 12900k it needs a bit more cooling than I have, wanting to get a 13900k too so.In which case i am 95% sure it is the cable causing you issues .

still contact them as they will offer you a refund for the one that has failed if you have already bought new , they offered me that option but i just said send me another cable which they did.
running that 850w heater cant be good in summerstill contact them as they will offer you a refund for the one that has failed if you have already bought new , they offered me that option but i just said send me another cable which they did.
New setup sounds nice , i am running a 011XL with triple rads and a 4090 / 13900k direct die and cooling is very good although room gets rather hot but hay at least the cooling system is efficient and components stay cool
looks nice thoYes room gets a tad warm in the summer , 27-29℃ ambient room temp isn't unheard ofrunning that 850w heater cant be good in summer

New setup sounds nice although at this point maybe wait for 14900k? , i am running a 011XL with triple rads and a 4090 / 13900k direct die and cooling is very good although room gets rather hot but hay at least the cooling system is efficient and components stay cool
Don't get me started lol. like a sauna in hereYes room gets a tad warm in the summer , 27-29℃ ambient room temp isn't unheard of
I can 100% confirm adding extra rads will not help that situation , quit the opposite in fact
Yeah tbh I mostly just want it so I can run the fans at lower RPM. I use it for work and am autistic and being in a silent room is non negotiable. Just makes a bit too much noise for my liking as is, I've got those nice new corsair link fans that daisy chain though so no more rats nest in the back with all the RGB and fan cablesI can 100% confirm adding extra rads will not help that situation , quit the opposite in fact
The EVO XL will serve you well and will swallow 3 rads no problem at all
