Hello,
I purchased this GPU on December 2, 2024, and it’s been great up until recently. A few days ago, I noticed a significant increase in fan noise from my PC. After checking, I found it was coming from the GPU. I verified that all drivers and BIOS are up to date and cleaned out my case (which was already spotless, with no dust buildup on the GPU fan blades).
I started running an HWiNFO log while gaming RDR2, obviously on full crank, but I doubt anyone would consider that a proper stress test. The screenshot covers a 1 minute 18 second capture at 2-second intervals, taken about six minutes into gameplay. The GPU temperature hit 77 °C and the hot spot reached 110 °C, with GPU fans spinning up to 3,000 RPM and temperatures remaining that high for the duration of gameplay before dropping quickly once I exited the game. This was even with all five intake fans in my case running at full speed. My PC sounded like a fighter jet once the GPU ramped up.
I’ve started an RMA and will be sending the GPU in for warranty service. From what I’ve seen, this seems to be a recurring issue with this model — I even found someone who had to RMA theirs three times. Has anyone had a positive resolution with ASUS on this?
I’m really disappointed to be having this issue with the most expensive component I’ve ever purchased. Not exactly what I expected from something carrying the TUF name.
Appreciate any feedback or insights!
