I just installed a new liquid cooling system into my box and took out 2 120mm fans and replaced the other two with Yate Loon D12SL-12 (very quiet) fans. The upshot of which is that there is less air movement in the case.
I tried burning in the system a little to stretch the legs of the new rig and I'm having trouble keeping it from crashing and refusing to boot until I turn it off and move some of the power cables around (I'm getting a very odd error.)
So I think maybe the RAM and/or the power converters on the video card might be responsible due to the sudden lack of air flowing over them, but I'm not sure how to confirm this. Under full CPU, full GPU load the system falls apart after about 45 minutes. I'd like to run the test again and see what the temp on the board is like, but I can't figure this out. RivaTuner simply has core/ambient temps, and I can't get ntune to start without BSODing. So I'm wondering if there is any way that anyone knows of that I could watch the mosfet/ram temps of a GTX 280 under load.
Thanks so much all!
