What do the EVGA cards run at? I really wanted a founders card and I got one. They used the same cooler for the ti as a 3080. Long story short Ive seen my Vram hit 96c which I know is within spec, but my gosh thats hot. I may actually have to repad the card with better pads as I have seen the results by miners dropping the temps by 15-20c.

Micron did put out lot of information out there about the 6x ram. 125 degrees is where the chips actually damage. 110c is where they throttle. Just seems crazy to me, like how long do they expect these cards to live.

    Couldn't find any reviews on the cards in question that mention the info you seek?

    I was just curious how much better the evga cards are out of the box. The founders cards are pretty bad for the vram tempm 65c core and 96 on the vram. Ouch. Hwinfo64 will show your vram temps.

    Just bump your gpu fan speed up to 80% to see a nice improvement.

    80% is insanely loud though. Like mine gets this hot at 1080P. 4K wouldn't even be possible and that's crazy.

    I have an EVGA 3080 Ti FTW3 and it behaves pretty much the same as a 3080 non Ti (I have one as well) in terms of temps.
    Mem junction goes up to 86-88C while gaming on both cards. I have a custom fan curve and it runs around 60-70% speed while playing. I have a 165Hz 1440p panel for both GPUs. Fans noise are acceptable at this speed.
     
    I mine eventually with the 3080 and it can goes the same temperature (around 88 C) but with the fans fixed at 90%.
    I mined just once with the Ti and temperatures remains very low because HR limiter kicks in.
     
    My rigs are in the basement, so it`s a little bit cooler compared to the rest of the house. Normal ambient temperature is around 22 C. This helps a lot keeping everything colder inside the case.

    GDDR6X runs hot, so it obviously needs to be cooled. Stock fan coolers tend to get loud. That’s just the nature of the beast. Although, I would agree in saying that it’d be nice if they could manufacture chips that don’t run hotter than the sun and require an industrial air handler to properly cool them.

    Well if you guys own EVGA cards, you can change the thermal pads without voiding warranty which is amazing and what makes EVGA an interesting company. DIY mods or repairs where as companies are finally pushing for it such as microsoft.

    I will be doing this mod and I will report back my temps.

    What temps do you get when running the same test I showed above for the same amount of time?

    I upgraded from an FE 3080 to an EVGA 3080 Ti (FTW3)
     
    The memory temps are noticeably better on the EVGA FTW cooling solution. (About 10c) I think the thermal pads on the FTW3 are better than the pads on the FE. That's not saying much as the pads on the FE are pretty bad, but the pads on the FTW3 are effective-enough that I don't feel the need to open it up and change anything.

    I water-blocked one of my 3080 Tis, but I had to buy a replacement thermal pad kit from EVGA for use to reattach the stock cooler if ever I need to RMA it, as it needs to be in original factory condition. Not sure if the same applies to just a simple pad replacement.

    I don't know what tool that is, I use unigine and even running 3dmark timespy at factory settings with a fan curve or 50% the ram hit 96c. When I see people running 450W bios and also +1000 on the memory I'm like yep, that card be a goner sooner or later.

    It was the 3d test inside the occt software set to run at 15 mins with 8x shader complexity. Looks like time spy extreme graphics test #2 looped for 15 mins gets the vram hotter...

    3090 FE with a curve undervolt+overclock, maxed power limit(400w), & +800 on mem @ 80% fan speed in time spy extreme graphics test #2 looped for 15 mins in a 76F room...

    Right in spec. :D

    After the pad replacement I am hoping I hit 70-80 under any load at 50% fan speed. I honestly can't run my fans at 80% that would drive me insane. I have a Lian Li 011 with Noctua fans. Would defeat the purpose of buying the fans to crank up the noise.

    Yah thermal pads replacement should drop it down to 50-70.
    The thermal pads that Nvidia used are really bad.

    My results after the re-pad 2mm. Huge gains tbh. It could almost hit 100C prior and that depended on what game. 50% fans with no undervolt.

    Honestly it seems like its more work then what its actually worth. Its kind of easy to disassemble once you do it. The pads are tricky because my hot spot was climbing. I actually accidentally overlapped pads in 1 corner which was causing a hot spot issue. The vram temps were so low it was weird to look at. I have more 2MM pads coming from thermalright and I want to repad one more time to see if I can get as good of temps as I was initially seeing besides my mistake. People recommend gelid 2mm extremes but they arent easily available in Canada.

    You could add 3mm pads between the backplate and pcb where the memory and VRM sits. This will pull some heat out. My backplate gets warm now where it didnt before. I swapped to a Hybrid kit at the same time so my before and after temps would not really help.

    So after letting my gpu sit for the night/day at work I came home to see how the temps were and here we are. I think maybe the pads I squished poofed up a bit but I also applied an undervolt. 60% fan curve and this is 20 mins in cod at 300+ fps. Before the undervolt it sat at about 80c on the vram and after it liked to sit 76-78. Sure beats the 96c I saw prior. The clock seems a lot better too. The paste nvidia uses is tar!

    ^ This has helped me greatly. It does help disperse heat and brings down temps, at least for me and if anyone know about me and my "load of crap" screen I have monitoring temps and such I can assure you it works. Of course this is an easy mod, just taking off the back plate, cutting the pads to the correct size (easy to do as the are notches on the backplate for where pads would have been), putting it back together and off you go.

    I may just apply the extra 2mm pads I ordered that are arriving on Monday and see if it helps. Thanks guys.

    I used Gelid Ultimate pads for my all cards and NMVEs. Arctic thermal pads good as well.

    i was seeing higher than i liked temps with my 3090 ftw ultra oc to 2150MHz.so i got a 2000rpm 90mm noctua fan and laid
    it flat on top of the backplate on the 3090 above the sqaure opening pulling air. dropped my temps nicely.keeps
    my vram temps below 80c under heavy load otherwise i run between 55-70c under normal conditions.
    not ideal looking but works great.
    (card idles at gpu 32c-vram 40c)
     
    running Farcry6 maxed out full raytracing no dlss gpu 60c max and vram 72c max @1440 90%gpu usage

    I have the 3080 Ti XC hybrid and my vram temps are stupid high under a heavy load (100C). My core and hot spot temps are good though (43C and 50ish). Definitely disappointed the vram still gets so hot with the hybrid. Might need to try a heat sink and fan on the backplate or repad, maybe both.

    I've tried heatsinks and fans on my 3080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid with little success.  I do have 3mm thermal pads at the mem locations too which did help (~8C).  But adding fans/heatsinks didn't seem to make any more difference for some reason (2C at most).  Backplate is hot though.  So that confuses me a bit but that's what I've found.
     
    I'm getting ready to re-pad following the results posted here,

    Going to try to replicate the 4th iteration.  I normally would use Gelid Extreme's since they're softer, but since the ultimates worked for that poster I'm going to give them a shot.  May work since 2mm is on the thin side given EVGA's statement of 2.25mm.

    Make sure you have the fan on the card running. If you do not have a fan curve setup it might not start until you hit 50c on the GPU.

    I didn't even think of that as a possibility. I see fan speeds showing in Afterburner as fan 1 and 2 but that could be referencing the two fans on the radiator. With my temps usually below 50c there is a chance the fan on the gpu itself isn't running. I guess I will be double-checking that when I get home today.
    I will update this later. Thanks for the info.

    I noticed this when I swapped to the hybrid kit. Fan 2 should be the fan on the card and fan 1 should be the fans on the radiator. Fan 3 is empty on the hybrid cards.
