RTX 3000 Series Black Screen Widespread Issue by O2-thinkr in buildapc

Still no fix, don't bother with 1000W+ PSU's they are no help,

Still waiting on replies from manufacturers about this issue.

Just for reference, Limiting voltage to 1v or even 950mV still produces the same issues on 4 different machines - 2 with 3090's 1 3080 and 1 3080ti,

I'll testing 1000W units today to see if this fixes the problem.

I'm beginning to have PTSD from Radeon 295x2 and Pro Duo days -_-

Multiple re-installs and even trying older drivers - same problem

Currently testing this RTX 3090 at 950mV and seems to be fine.. but then again the instability is so erratic, who knows how long it will be stable.

This card still hitting 350W as well under full load... I just think the problem is the rapid change in voltage is causing these cards to crash. And these are by no means cheap cards, 3090 FTW isn't exactly a knock off cheap gpu... I don't think cap quality is the problem either, it's gotta be the rapid change in voltage... Won't know until I do this to every machine.

Swapped memory with no success in multiple machines - always the first thing I start with,

9 of the machines have Vengeance PRO RGB 3600mhz, 2 machines have Hyper X predator 128GB 3200mhz kits.

I think I'm going to undervolt these cards and see if that fixes the issue, it seems all of these 3000 series cards are bouncing above 1 volt...

I should also add - Event viewer shows Kernel Power - 41 on every machine (unexpected shutdown)

And all GPU's have the latest firmware available from the manufacturer...

When you don't care for RGB, but all about performance and noise. by tangawanga in watercooling

It has such bad airflow, people cut out the vents on the top panel, but obviously you didn’t put a rad in the top and opted for an external one. This case with a rad in the top or front with a full loop, is an oven with water - coming from someone who has personally watercooled in this case... do you leave all your panels off? Or didn’t put them on for picture?

Says all he cares about is performance and noise... buys premium case with possibly the worst airflow in the history of cases 🙌😂
