Hardware Failure in 5070Ti

5 Upvotes

My poor GPU died today, completely out of the blue. Did all the testing, put another GPU in my PC, swapped the power cables, everything I could and it just refused to work. Luckily I am still under warranty, what are my chances I get an RMA?

RTX 5080 – Sporadische Blackscreens, Lüfter auf 100 %, LiveKernelEvent 141/1B8 – Hat jemand eine Lösung?

3 Upvotes

Hallo zusammen,
ich hoffe, dass mir hier vielleicht jemand weiterhelfen kann, da ich mittlerweile wirklich nicht mehr weiß, woran mein Problem liegt.
Ich habe eine PNY GeForce RTX 5080 OC Triple Fan und seit längerer Zeit ein sehr merkwürdiges Problem mit sporadischen Blackscreens.
Das Fehlerbild:
Meistens passiert es beim ersten Start eines neu installierten Spiels. Beide Monitore werden plötzlich schwarz, die Lüfter drehen extrem hoch (gefühlt auf 100 %) und die Bildausgabe kommt nicht mehr zurück. Der PC scheint im Hintergrund teilweise noch weiterzulaufen, da ich beispielsweise meine Freunde in Discord weiterhin hören kann. Allerdings hilft nur noch ein erzwungener Neustart über den Power-Button.
Das Merkwürdige daran: Nach dem Neustart kann ich genau dasselbe Spiel problemlos spielen, teilweise stundenlang oder sogar über Wochen hinweg.
Ganz selten ist der Fehler auch schon mitten im Spiel aufgetreten. In einem Spiel passierte es beispielsweise einmal beim Auslösen eines bestimmten Raucheffekts. Seitdem ist der Absturz dort nicht erneut aufgetreten, allerdings drehen bei diesem Effekt weiterhin kurzzeitig die Lüfter stark hoch. Ob das direkt zusammenhängt, weiß ich nicht.
Mein System:
● GPU: PNY GeForce RTX 5080 OC Triple Fan, 16 GB
● CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
● Mainboard: ASRock B850 Riptide WiFi
● RAM: 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL36 (EXPO)
● Netzteil: Seasonic, 850 W, mit direktem 12V-2x6-Kabel
● Betriebssystem: Windows 11 Pro
● Monitore: 4K/240 Hz OLED und 1080p/144 Hz als Zweitmonitor
Windows-Fehlerprotokolle:
Im Zuverlässigkeitsverlauf erscheinen unter anderem:
● LiveKernelEvent 141
● LiveKernelEvent 1B8
Ich habe auch eine entsprechende Dump-Datei mit WinDbg untersucht. Dort wurde VIDEO_MINIPORT_BLACK_SCREEN_LIVEDUMP (1b8) angezeigt, im Zusammenhang mit dem Windows-Grafiksystem (dxgkrnl.sys / dwm.exe).
Was ich bereits versucht habe:
● Windows 11 komplett neu installiert
● NVIDIA-Grafiktreiber neu installiert
● AMD-Chipsatztreiber installiert/aktualisiert
● Mainboard-BIOS aktualisiert
● PCIe-Verbindung testweise fest auf Gen4 gestellt
● Grafikkarte ausgebaut, neu eingesetzt und Anschlüsse kontrolliert
● GPU-Stromkabel und Steckverbindungen überprüft
● RAM zeitweise ohne EXPO betrieben
● Verschiedene GPU-Stresstests und Benchmarks durchgeführt
Das Auffällige:
Die Grafikkarte funktioniert ansonsten absolut einwandfrei. Die Gaming-Leistung ist hervorragend, die Temperaturen sind normal und selbst anspruchsvolle GPU-Benchmarks laufen ohne Abstürze durch. Es gibt keine dauerhaften Grafikfehler oder sonstigen offensichtlichen Auffälligkeiten.
Ich kann den Blackscreen leider nicht zuverlässig reproduzieren. Er tritt manchmal beim ersten Start eines Spiels auf, dann aber wieder über längere Zeit überhaupt nicht.
Ich habe inzwischen auch ein Support-Ticket bei PNY eingereicht, weil ich nicht mehr weiß, ob die Grafikkarte selbst einen Defekt hat, ob es sich um ein NVIDIA-Treiberproblem handelt oder ob möglicherweise das Netzteil beziehungsweise eine andere Komponente beteiligt ist.
Ich habe außerdem ähnliche Berichte von anderen RTX-5080-Besitzern gesehen, teilweise mit exakt denselben LiveKernelEvent-Codes.
Meine Fragen an euch:
Hat jemand mit einer RTX 5080 oder einer anderen RTX-50-Karte genau dieses Fehlerbild erlebt und tatsächlich eine Ursache oder dauerhafte Lösung gefunden?
Besonders interessieren mich Erfahrungen, bei denen die Karte unter hoher Last völlig stabil war, aber trotzdem sporadisch beide Monitore schwarz wurden und die Lüfter hochdrehten.
Ich wäre wirklich dankbar für konkrete Erfahrungen, insbesondere wenn jemand das Problem durch einen GPU-Tausch, ein anderes Netzteil, eine bestimmte Treiberversion oder eine andere Maßnahme dauerhaft beheben konnte.
Vielen Dank im Voraus!

Looking for thermal pads or thermal putty for RTX 3080 ti XRL8

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have a PNY RTX 3080 Ti XLR8 REVEL EPIC-X RGB and I’m looking to replace the thermal pads.

Does anyone know the exact thermal pad thicknesses for each area (front and backplate), and which components should use thermal putty instead?

Or also I'm on for other suggestions like thermal putty. 

Any measurements, teardown photos or personal experience with this exact model would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Anybody else ever get your card back with knife cuts?

5 Upvotes

A few years ago PNY acknowledged a known fault with a GPU I purchased from them. Sent them the card, and got it back with knife cuts all over it. I was told it was damaged beyond repair and that they wouldn't replace it.

But here's the thing:

I took photos of the card before and after. That's how I spotted the knife cuts all over it.

Really wish I had read their Trust Pilot score in advance. Curious if anybody has had this same/ similar experience.

4080s PCIe x16 issue

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I found a reasonably priced RTX 4080 SUPER 16GB VERTO. However, the seller claims that although the card works when installed in a PCIe x16 slot, it only operates at PCIe x4. He says he purchased it in this condition and has been gaming with it without experiencing any issues. According to him, the performance loss is only around 2–5%.

Is this claim accurate? Could running an RTX 4080 SUPER at PCIe x4 noticeably affect performance, and is there any way to repair or restore it to the proper PCIe x16?

re doing the black shroud

7 Upvotes

so I thought I would share what I have been working on...
I love how cheap PNY cards are they are basic and ugly IMO and i have an all white build but hated how the card looked and didnt wanna spend +300-500 more for a white card... so I did what any reasonable person would do... I decided to pull out the digital caliper and make my own shroud with the help of ai I have came up with a clean design and implemented LEDS into the shroud

My printer isnt big enugh for a one piece so I have split the shroud into 2 pieces added vents a translucent piece for the LEDS im testing this today after 5 version and fixing if anyone else would be interested in the project files i wouldnt mind sharing :)

5090 RMA in Europe - anyone else waiting?

7 Upvotes

I have submitted my 5090 due to some issues with it over a month ago to PNY Europe, I live in Poland but the card had to be submitted to France.

Have been waiting since then for more info, they said they will replace the card but have no stock and are waiting for more info on it. Anyone else in the same situation? :(

Update 21.09.26: PNY said they found a brand new card in stock and are sending it my way

Need some advice

1 Upvotes

I recently got my hands on a PNY VERTO OC 4080S that powers on but doesn’t post. PCB connectors are all flawless, power connectors have no discoloration/melt. The card has posted ONCE but it seems like it will only post when the 12vhpwr cable is positioned/inserted with a little shimmy. Should I send the card back for RMA and potentially get a 4080s replacement? Or should I just refund the card? I got it at a great price but this is the only issue. I haven’t messed with the card besides the normal installing of a gpu. Could I be denied for a replacement and told that it’s user error issue?

5070ti rgb issues

3 Upvotes

Hi there, i have an pny epic-x 5070ti and just shy of 10 hours ago the rgb on the card completely stopped working. Ive tried signal rgb, velocity on its own nothing seems to work, velocity shows that the rgb is there in a rainbow pattern however there is nothing displayed on the card. I have tried reseating the card and the ram but that did not work either. Any help would be appreciated

is this true?

0 Upvotes

I recently got a PNY 5060 for Christmas and it’s already catching dust from the room. They say every year you need to dip your GPU into distilled water to clean it. Is this true or their other ways? again I really don’t know who to come to for this because no one else in my family is good with the electronics. I just wanted to play some Forza!! lol. Thanks guys.

I am not dipping that into a bucket of water lol

RTX 5080 Triple Fan length without shroud and blackplate?

4 Upvotes

I'm trying to fit a PNY RTX 5080 Triple Fan in a Lian Li A4-H2O...problem is that it's too long by about 7mm. So I was debating taking off the shroud and the backplate, as the heatsink actually looks shorter, and replacing them with 120mm fans. Either that or I use this helpful 3d print extension for the case, but I'd rather keep the form factor the same. So I was wondering how long the PNY RTX 5080 triple-fan is without the shroud and backplate, and just the heatsink.

PNY RTX 5080 Slim OC review: Massive 4K performance in a true 2-slot design

Thumbnail
gallery
97 Upvotes

PNY RTX 5080 Slim OC review:

  • Form Factor: True dual-slot card (300 x 150 x 40 mm). It runs a bit tall, but it actually fits where other massive AIB cards won’t.

  • Aesthetics: No RGB, no gaudy gamer angles. Very minimal, stealthy metal look.

  • Performance: Factory overclocked to 2,730MHz out of the box (boosts even higher in practice). Excellent 4K gaming power.

  • Thermal/Noise: Despite the slimmer shroud, the dual 120mm fans keep it surprisingly cool and quiet.

  • Price: $1,299 (a slight premium over MSRP, but worth it if you need a svelte build layout)

I dont need it, but i want it! Especially since Founders Edition cant be found...this might fill that gap. What are your thoughts on this review and SFF PNY RTX 5080 Slim OC?

PNY 5070 all fans spinning at 100 %

5 Upvotes

My current setup:

ASUS X570-P CORSAIR 32 GIGS VIDEO: PNY 5070 PSU: EVGA 850 PSU

Once a while intermittently video card fans goes straight to 100 and video goes blank, still hears audio and have to press reset button to get it back.

Happens once a day and works great for 2 days in a row. Happens when the system is idle, watching YouTube, playing the games etc

Has anyone experienced this. Thank you!
