Problems with new gtx 960.

Hello! I'm uploading the result of the last test I did with occt, without the side cover. Sorry for the delay but I have little free time ;D
By the way, what do you think about the Tacens Radix VII AG 700w 80 plus silver as a power supply for my computer? A friend is selling it to me in exchange for something else, it's less than a month old with warranty and at a pretty good price?

With the case open, I don't see anything strange or out of the ordinary in terms of voltage and temperature.
What is clearly visible is a progressive increase in temperature on one of the sensors (it says CPU but it's the sensor near the CPU placed on the power supply stage) and temperatures that are a bit high for the CPU for the time of year we are in.
What I do see is how the GPU fluctuates both in core and memory... that is indicative of overheating.
It's a shame that there is no record of the cooler speed or the temperatures but it's certain that those peaks coincide with temperature peaks and a drop in GPU Mhz.
It's very possible that when you post the screenshots of the test with the case closed, you will see what is really happening since, for now, the only one doing strange things is the GPU in a test where, in principle, nothing strange should appear.
As I say, it's not necessary to run it again... just look for the one you already did... OCCT saves everything and categorizes it by date ;D

Here it is, the test with the case. As a comment, with the lid closed, OCCT doesn't reproduce the error, while if I play any game, it does.

I for one don't appreciate the difference… I see the same thing as with the other test... almost the same just that it lasts half an hour less.
What is clear is that the GPU lowers the speed for something but without a temperature log it's impossible to know what it is.
Besides if OCCT doesn't fry the PSU it's not and the CPU doesn't either because it doesn't reach strange temperatures or lower the speed.
If anything you can try OCCT only in "GPU: 3D" mode... it's the same but it will focus on the GPU.
It's to see if in this case the GPU speeds drop even more or compared to the PSU test I see any difference.
I recommend at least half an hour of testing both with the case closed and open... that is two GPU tests.
You'll have to tell me.
