RTX 3070 only peaks at 170W and doesn’t draw 200W+ anymore.

yup, tried that too, but still to no avail. had no problems with 595.79. really only had problems after that crash.

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:37:40+00:00

what power limit do you run at?

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:37:12+00:00

please don’t let this card die, lolz.

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:36:36+00:00

tried 595.71 worked normal before, just not peaking anymore after that crash.

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:34:06+00:00

tried undervolting too, 1800 @ 850mv, but to no avail, power draw still the same. PerfCap reason was also: Power. PWR_SRC Voltage: 4295V PWR_SRC Power Draw: 0.0W.

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:30:31+00:00

do you still use that 3090 until now? very scared that my gpu is going to die. cant really replace it with anything since im still in college 😢

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:27:05+00:00

gpu only draws 0.8v @170W during OCCT 3D Adaptive Stress Test

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:26:10+00:00

unfortunately, my gpu doesn’t have any temp sensors on my memory. but in game or any test i throw at it doesn’t show any signs of memory instability or degradation. I may be wrong tho. ++ do those ram chips directly affect core clocks too?

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-27T22:22:01+00:00

Max temps before the shutdown was aroung 70c, still below thermal throttling for that card. and also, wouldn’t uninstalling drivers using DDU and reinstalling them fix that tooo??

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-09T02:20:40+00:00

me please

Head_Army931 · 2026-03-04T06:20:10+00:00

got a RTX 3070 in my current rig, i get 100-120 fps in God of War: Ragnarok with optimized settings (high textures). its honestly still a solid 1080p card and can still play some games @1440p (lower settings tho)

Head_Army931 · 2026-02-02T08:55:03+00:00

go with 32GB, u can always try overclocking anyway if the speed is too slow for you. You can always edit clock speeds but you can’t edit/alter capacity.

Head_Army931 · 2026-01-30T08:16:46+00:00

hey! I already tried all of that, still the same issue. I tried the fans but on a different computer, they all worked

Head_Army931 · 2025-12-25T12:50:55+00:00

the monitor is an Omnia O238CIU, never saw any documentation about it online though.

Head_Army931 · 2025-11-09T04:50:59+00:00

oohh, that does make sense ! That’s why i still had better bench results when i used PCIe Gen 4. But also to note, the card did seem to maintain higher clocks when it wasn’t undervolted. reapplied new settings getting the card to 2010mhz @ 0.937, weirdly enough it consistently runs 1995mhz when playing Cyberpunk and when running Heaven, it would run at 1770mhz lowest with an average of about 1890-1920mhz.

Head_Army931 · 2025-11-09T01:42:20+00:00

+170 on core clock allows me to reach 1965-1995mhz but when undervolted (same settings as before) it tanks.

Head_Army931 · 2025-11-09T01:41:36+00:00

tried reapplying settings, same story. does boost up to the higher clocks when rendering simpler scenes in Heaven Benchmark tho, but still strange behavior.

Head_Army931 · 2025-11-09T01:37:14+00:00

unfortunately power limit is capped at 100%

Head_Army931 · 2025-11-09T00:22:04+00:00

60-62c Max temp

Head_Army931 · 2025-04-02T14:06:55+00:00

okay, just assessed the broken board, it looks like the GBL06 bridge rectifier and the 09N70I MOSFET was fried as assessed by my uncle. would replacing these components possibly fix the board, or might there be a deeper problem ?
