Hello, I hope everyone is doing well. I’m facing a problem with my EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3. The PWR4 sensor is reporting an unusually high temperature—around 90°C—and the fans increase speed briefly before settling back to normal. I’ve checked with GPU-Z and confirmed it’s not a heating issue. The temperature jumps from 41°C to 90°C almost instantly, then drops again in the same pattern. It seems the rise from 40°C to 90°C happens in less than a second. The other readings are typical, with a hotspot at 78°C. If anyone has advice on resolving this, I’d really value your input. Edit: The unit is sealed and hasn’t been taken apart. Updated Dec 6, 2024 by hasy522

I remember the 30 series experiencing notable power surges upon startup, which likely triggered a power sensor to activate unexpectedly. I’m unsure whether the resolution involved updating the BIOS or modifying the drivers.
