Hello,
I ordered the following machine back in October 2012:
Just yesterday, I've experienced my first major problem with the machine. After running Watch_Dogs for a few hours, the fans suddenly stopped cooling the GPU (according to MSI Afterburner) and the GPU temps reached 103 degrees celsius! Thankfully, the card still functions (ie. not fried) but the cooling fans on the Palit GTX 680 are not working to cool the thing down anymore! I would also like to mention that I had set a custom fan profile in MSI Afterburner but I'm almost sure that wouldn't be the cause for the fans failing. I'm just wondering what the best course of action would be to take now to rectify
Any feedback is greatly appreciated,
