3x GTX 1060 6GB MSI Gaming X


I was running a heavy workload on the cards for about 4 hours. (Mining using Claymore miner - no hate, lol.)


I woke up and 2 of the cards were still running like normal, however the 3rd card was showing as '0' in everything in Afterburner. 0 Voltage, 0 MHz etc.

Furthermore, the fans on this card aren't running, but it's light is on.


I have restarted PC and i get same thing and nothing changes.


Have I killed my card? If not, what can I do to resolve it?


(I last used all the cards together in sync in MSI Afterburner @ 75% TDP, +100 Core Clock, +650 Memory clock. The temperature was only at 55-60°c.)



boot
boot a second time
open afterburner

lower tdp to 70%
lower core to 75
lower memory to 500

fire up claymore  see if it runs  if it does   your clocks of

tdp 75%
core 100
memory 650

are too high.

If it does not run with lower clocks
power off.
remove 2 cards
run the one card on the mobo slot not a riser

use the low clocks I gave you
if it runs power off test the next card  only run 1 card
if it runs power off test the last card only run 1 card

if all cards run  1 at a time then  check the risers  smell them for burnt smell.

Check the cables leading to the risers.
How do you power the cables?
sata 1 maybe 2 risers on 1 cable
molex 1 maybe 2 risers on 1 cable
pcie  2 on a two plug cable
