Do any PC games crash when you play them?
Okay so here are some updates: I ran Prime95 and had no crashes on the hardest test I tried. I also ran FurMark at 1920*1080 FHD screen size, which meant zero crashes. The GPU stayed cool at 78 degrees but got hot spots near the fans at 104 degrees. When I tested it in a 2560*1440 QHD resolution, there were still no crashes too. The GPU temperature dropped to 77 degrees while the hotspot hit 107 degrees.
When I tried the P1440 benchmark, it crashed once and then on the second try everything worked fine. One thing I noticed: the loud fan noise comes from my CPU cooler, not the graphics card. Even when I run FurMark or play some of those video games mentioned earlier, the fan sounds are exactly the same loudness. When I look at the Windows event logs, there were only Kernel-Power entries because I forced a computer restart after one crash happened.
