Ah yeah, Zero RPM ftw! Seems that by the time the fans eventually kick in, the chip is already running too hot for them to ramp up quickly enough to cool anything sufficiently. I tried an undervolt/overclock on my Aorus Elite, and temps were way too high too quickly, so disabled Zero RPM, set the fans to 65% speed and the highest it goes is 77C under 100% load now. Thankfully the cooler is a good one, so noise is minimal, too.

Well, new settings didn't last long, card is crashing all the Time now 
. I've contacted the person I got the build from, he won't give me the recipt for the card and won't or unwilling to tell me where the card came from. Emailed the manufacturer, said I need to take it back to where it came from. So stuck with a dead brand new card. I've taken the pc to.a local shop see what they can see is wrong with it

You gotta watch these dodgy people, the *******s are everywhere! Any half-decent person would help you out with an RMA etc

Wait for the manufacturer to reply and see what they say but if they reject an RMA then you can remove the heatsink and repaste it. Almost certainly some issue with the paste. Sometimes the production workers forget to take the plastic protector off the thermal pad causing a bad interface.

I had a reply from saphire, I have to send the card back to the person that supplied the card. But as I say he's just running Mr around in circles, he's even tried to sell me a 6800 for £950 with return on my old card lol.
I have taken the pc with the gpu box to a local shop that do gpu repairs hopefully they may be able to sort something

So you've got system that's just over a month old and has no warranty. I'd also get the shop to give the whole system the once over to see if they spot anything untoward.
TBH it sounds really dodgy. I take it was a private individual who built it?

Yes, he's a private individual but running a private business. And yes thats what I'm hoping, before the gpu was shutting down at 93 deg c, today this morning the gpu was shutting down at 75 deg c, from recommendations I kept the under volt to 1100, and the fan arc on a sharp angle so it spins up before it starts building temp.
I also found this morning just leaving windows 10 desktop running with no apps running except adrenaline, the gpu shuts down after 10-15 mins with the same message on the monitor no hardware detected. I turned off the power settings for the monitor, that seems to fix that.
I'm still guessing either a configuration problem somewhere either bios or within windows. Or the heatsink has become unglued, judging by the heat build up in such a fast time, I think this is most likely. I just have to wait a couple of days for them to get round to checking it

it was a full system build, generally speaking a custom build will only have a warranty with just the parts, probably with a larger company doing building I expect they would have some warranty with the build. I did see all the boxed parts so I didnt have a problem with the build, I became concerned when I too possession of the PC I didnt get a receipt. I did ask on many occasions but he kept ducking from the question. So far I have contacted trading standards told them whats happened and see if they can help. I have a very good build and pleased with it, just not the GPU working. I did show him the box for the GPU he said he thought he got it from Amazon, I said to check his purchase history. He then said the amazon driver "stole" his other PC gear, he went out and had a barney with him, then said his amazon account was terminated and bla bla bla. I think you can see where this is going.
Found this googling my problem. Seems to be the same issue.im having, also checking nvidia forums, an nvidia user is also having same issue as me.at around the same time.i am. https://www.extremetech.com/extreme...ng-black-screen-driver-issues-on-radeon-cards

It's not a GPU core temperature issue. 90c is not going to trigger a shutdown, let alone 75c. Did you see any graphical corruption before the hard crashes? Any higher temperature readings from different sensors on the card or indeed?
I would still be suspicious of the power supply or even PCIe cables until ruled out with a different unit. You say "top of the range 850w PSU" - what make and model?
It's possible it's just a duff card, it happens, but when there's dodgy geezer prebuild stuff going on... It could be anything

PSU is corsair 850w. Big block. There was no graphic issues before the gpu shuts down. From thermal readings from the rest of the pc is all normal operating ranges, it's the center of the gpu, when I first started getting the issuse was about a week ago now. When I checked the heat levels the center gpu sky rocketed to 90 the outer temp was normal 60 deg c. The card would get to 90, but at 93 it just cost out. Black screen, had to do a hard reset, sometimes rebooting didn't show a video picture and had to hard boot again after leaving it off for a min or too, also at that time, when windows loaded up the amd software would not.load saying missing drivers, checking the hardware manager I had a code 31 on display driver. Removing the card from the hardware.and re detecting it it was fine and the software loaded up. Looking though posts on this issue, I read to undervolt the gpu by a 100, so set it to 1100, also set the fan curve and rpm to a hirer level, also to de activate the zero fan. This worked for several days, heat came back to normal working levels and under gaming load on gfx settings back to 75 deg c. It was.only till yesterday and today this new mapping stopped working, the gpu would just cut out to a black screen with no video detected on the monitor, a hard reboot was needed. Just using the adrenaline software stress test was enough to cut out the card. Also vr gaming and also Web browser gaming more of world of war ships on max graphics settings, 10 mins of play card cuts out. I turned off the power settings for the monitor to power down when not in use, this stopped the gpu powering down with just windows 10 running. But still gaming the gpu still cuts out. Again there is no graphicle glitches before it shuts down
The person you bought it from sounds like a right ****.

Can you name and shame this guy/???
At least it will let others know about him (might even warn a fellow OCUK member )

lets hope its something the shop can fix for you
