My Inno3D 980 Ti Airboss X3 (the name alone...) is running VERY hot while playing graphically intense games (The Witcher 3 for example).
It's not the chip itself, that's staying at a steady 70 degrees Celsius but it's somewhere around the VRAM I think.
I noticed it first while playing Witcher 3, I heard this weird 'ticking' noise, like metal expanding/shrinking.
It just kept on going so I decided to measure the temperature around on the card (since the GPU chip itself is doing fine).
It gets to fucking 115 degrees Celsius at a specific spot on the backplate (pic related).
My friend had the same card and it died on him, actually burned it. (while playing The Witcher 3 as well...)
It's not overclocked, just the stock boost from Inno3D.
Do you think i can RMA it for this reason? It's obviously not healthy and the card is going to do sooner than later.
The thing is the card will turn 1 year old on June and I don't want it to die after that date.
I'm based in Europe by the way, should be a little easier regarding RMA and shit. Shop i bought it is Caseking.de
