My 6x 1070 ti rig was having major stability issues, constantly crashing every few hours. After a lot of troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the 6th card...whenever its plugged in the machine crashes. I've tried different PSU cables, different risers, nothing helped. I was trying to narrow it down to the GPU or the motherboard so I thought I would take the card in question and install it in my office desktop PC and mine with it from there.
So far, its been running over 24 hours no issue. I was about to call the card good when I noticed something odd. With no overclocks (for stability testing), my other 5 1070 ti's are running around 1650mhz on the core and 3802 on the memory at 80% power. I glanced and noticed the one in my desktop is running around 1700 on the core and 4006 on the memory, still at 80%.
What gives? Same brand and model of card, same exact power setting yet the card I had questions about is running faster than the other 5 on the core and the memory. Even though its been stable in my desktop, could the issue still be with this card somehow not playing nice with the others?
Anyone ever seen this? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance
Some isolations you want to consider.
- Did you use riser on the GPU installed in your desktop? try install the faulty GPU solely in PCI-e x16 slot without using any risers. If no problems encountered your possible suspect is Riser and PSU aside from different clocks.
