Hey all, I just switched my card from an MSI 2070 super trio x to an EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra, and I noticed a mild heat output (i didn't need to turn on the heater in my room), I checked the temps and it runs at 74C which is fine (the rest of my computer is unchanged)but it is about 8-9C higher than my previous GPU.
 
I would like to "undervolt" it or overclock (without the extreme bios due to a 750W PSU) to eat less power or stay at 68C at max. How can I do that? 
 
Thank you for your answer,
Peter

    All 3080 series card pull more watts than the previous 2080 series cards - which pulled more than the 2070 cards ... So, more heat is Normal
     
    The stock fan profile is designed for quiet operation over cooler operation

    EVGA Precision X1 ... Will allow you to change fans, OC & Power settings ... however Voltage curve seems to be challenging (broken?) ... Using the Power setting could lower temps
     
    MSI AB ... can not control the 3 fans (only 2 fans) ... however there are article online on how to use it

    Thank you for your answer, I have an i7 10700k, Z490 Tomahawk, 32gb ddr4 TridentZ neo ram, Thermaltake j23 TG RGB case, and 2 Noctua nf s12a pulling out the air, and 3 basic thermaltake fans pulling in air at 100%, and i also have a dark rock pro 4 for the CPU.
     
    I am using the "normal bios" since i use the pc for work too, however pushing the fans higher means more noise, so i would like to limit the clockspeeds (Or is it a bad idea?).
    I haven't used the evga X1 software but Im gonna look into ti.
