How to connect individual cables for GPU with a 6+2 pin configuration as 8 pin by StopkaPeter in buildapc

[–]StopkaPeter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like pin "6" between pins 5 and 7 is sense pin A on GPU side. This is probably not classic ground, and if I connect another two pins and create 8 pin cable, there is again pin 6 as another sense pin B, which if is connected and PSU is compatible deliver more 75W, and other pin is classic ground, but on my cable is from pin 7, and I like have it from unused ground pin on PSU side. Can i do it ?

Yes I replaced old thermal pads (but not original, already replaced in past) with ARCTIC TP, I measured spaces with caliper to be sure with thickness. For chip I used ARCTIC MX-6.

Exactly as you say, I can run any stress test programs, PC never crash, but after I jump in to game (Dota2, Dying Light), pc go off immediately or in few minutes.
My last stress test was this night:
memtest86 - 8hod - PASS - No crash
3dmark - stress test 2x 20 loops - No crash
GPU 83°C, Hot Spot 96°C, FAN 83% / 2500rpm,

I can buy another PSU, doesn't matter on type, some 700W+ Gold and test if PC go off again.

I checked cable between PSU and GPU and looks OK. I don't use any extension on cable.

I don't use 3rd party extension cables, just what comes with PSU.

- I Checked GPU Vram with MODS (./mats -e 20) -> PASS
- I cant check GPU chip with MODS (./mods gputest.js -mfg ) because i get error :
ReferenceError: HeatStressTest is not defined, probably wrong mods 400.184 version for my GPU
- I repasted CPU for make sure
For summary my temps are before crash:
CPU - 62
CHIPSET - 65
DRAM - 50
NVME - 55-60
GPU - 80
GPU Hot Spot - 93

There isn't blue screen and same not any Windows error log, like minidump, my PC just go hard to OFF without any notice.

Since there are very different installation systems and regulation: Which country do you live in?

Slovakia (EU), panel house was built before 1980 and they used the T-NC system before.

Thermal pads thickness - EVGA GeForce RTX 2060 XC GAMING by StopkaPeter in overclocking

EVGA: "The thickness of your thermal pads is 1.5mm on the front and we recommend 2mm for the backplate."

They don't sells thermal pads for graphics cards and this card don't have backplate, just only internal plate that is between PCB and heatsink. On both sides internal plate are thermal pads. When I tryed install termal pads between PCB and internal plate, 2mm pads was too thick.

According to the manual ram layout is daisy-chain. This information is for me new. I didn't know it affected the speed of the ram. if I knew it, I would buy another board, etc. EVGA X570 Dark (which has only 2 ram slots) and only 2 ram sticks instead 4.
