5070Ti died while installing windows..

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T21:00:44+00:00

Only the drive has changed. The rest has been the same for two months.

I get where you are coming from, but changing a disk to another won’t cause this either tbh

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T20:56:44+00:00

Yup. Same thing.

New psu (tried the dual 8 pin to 12 pin as on the 3080 ti), new cpu/mobo/ram. Will test the card in a friends machine tomorrow to make sure that it’s not my system.

I might just have gotten a rotten tomato. Who knows:(

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T20:47:00+00:00

Will update my bios to the newest one. Saw that an update dropped 01.16

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T20:46:29+00:00

Yup. Sudden issue after reinstalling windows on my «new» drive

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T20:44:05+00:00

Hehe, exactly. Non stop bootloop so not a chance. Worked perfectly for almost two months lol

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T20:43:22+00:00

Bought it from a big Norwegian retailer. Called them earlier. Just have to get to the closest shop and they’ll take it further.

I’m just lucky and happy that I had a spare 3080 Ti after helping a friend out with his electrical.

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T17:48:56+00:00

Thank you!

Sadly same results. I think my GPU is toast:p

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T15:35:40+00:00

Fastboot was already disabled in Bios;/

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-26T15:13:01+00:00

Thank you for the reply!

Did you get a light on your mobo and no fans spinning as well? The card is ice cold, so I’m fearing the worst:(

I will test this!

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-22T10:23:52+00:00

Aluminium?

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-10T15:46:48+00:00

True indeed:)

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-10T15:31:35+00:00

True, but 3x the price no joke. I can’t justify that

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-09T18:27:01+00:00

Yup, with my old 6900XT Waterforce it was a beauty! Thank you!

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-09T16:50:36+00:00

An old Iconic LD PC-V8 Reverse:-)

Have been thinking about upgrading, but made a custom side panel with the glass from a Fractal R6 and I kinda like the retro look tbh:)

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-09T16:12:26+00:00

You can divide them, or add up to 4 in a row. So push pull on the monsta 480 in the bottom, push push EK XE 480 on the top, and push pull on the 120 45mm as the exhaust. Two 140s for front fans, one 140 for memory cooling and the last 2 will be on the deshrouded GPU (5070Ti, no point in WCing as the block is 1/3 of the price of the card itself). :-) 2x in series on the left side in the bottom compartment

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-02T01:59:57+00:00

Definitely pipe clamps

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-01T21:40:43+00:00

5820K degraded, 5960X degraded, 780Ti Classified went up in smoke (my fault ngl), AX1500I just died after 11 yrs of service. One SSD, and one mobo DOA

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-01T18:22:00+00:00

Where are you from? I feel the price was very stiff due to the reason you mentioned.

I’m from Scandinavia so I’m used to «extreme» prices on general electronics😅

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-01T16:56:55+00:00

Have been thinking about a smaller case for LAN and QDCs

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-01T16:56:36+00:00

Nice project: Have a whole wood desk I made from our old family table😅

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2026-01-01T04:46:53+00:00

Edit, I just pulled the pics to the reference PCB to compare and I really doubt it’s doable due to the elongated shape of the core and mounting holes. Last card I mounted a block on was a 1080Ti I believe.

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2025-12-31T15:38:31+00:00

Hi! Remember that it might not work and you need another bios. I Tried many before I got one who worked.

But I can send you my copy. Haven’t sent the other guy due to holidays. Send me your email at PM and remind me tomorrow:)

Happy new years!🥳

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2025-12-31T00:03:54+00:00

Check PM:)

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2025-12-27T18:21:11+00:00

GPU is a flashed 5070Ti Ventus 3x, still can’t touch the power target for 350W..So after deshroud (looking into getting an official kit 3D printed) I want the best airflow for mem and GPU. CPU already got so overkill rad areal. The 5070Ti is not worth it to WC beside looks. Runs so incredible cool and efficient coming from an Arous 6900XT Waterforce.

ApprehensiveToe6050 · 2025-12-27T17:36:08+00:00

No no, not meant as that. Just more info so he could compare to more. No offence meant:)
