When Apex came out, my Strix 2080 overclock seemed off as the game was crashing and driver stopped responding in the event viewer. So I started to redo the overclock. Eventually I just rolled back to stock clocks, opened up the headroom for 125% power target and 88C temp target, 100% voltage target, just for the headroom. One evening without any problems and the next day - bam.. crash and driver stopped in event viewer. Now I feel that something is wrong.. Should I RMA the card?
Also, I noticed that after 66% fan speed, some sort of loud coil whine style noise kicks in and it gets louder when the fans start going down and suddenly disappears when the card goes to idle temps. This is rare as the card only needs these big RPM's with overclocking and a demanding game like Anthem.
Again, should I RMA? What would be the best way to do this? I mean, would it help to contact ASUS with these issues before going to my retailer? Maybe that would speed up the diagnostics?
