Hi guys, I recently got my 3090 ftw3. The card all stock with its hitting around 85c/87c again everything is stock. While playing the fans of the card are constantly at 90%. Is that normal ?

I have a Inwin D Frame I have a Corsair Fan on each side of the card blowing into it.
These are my specs, ryzen 3800x @ 4.4
ram: 32 gb gskill 3200mhz
motherboard: asus crosshair viii hero
PSU: evga 1000w gold
cpu cooler nzxt kraken

I got mine yesterday and having the same issue,  there is allot of hot air coming out of the fins, it maybe too close from your tempered glass panel.  I have an evga DG-87 case. I may have to try
a vertical setup.
 
Cheers!

 It is 77c while playing a little game called Trine 4.  Did not have much time to test but i will do more test tomorrow. It is stock too.
 
Cheers!

that seems high seeing 70's C here even overclocked a ton

Trust me from my experience so far with a 3080 FTW, you either need a very large case, or you in general need a lot of space between the card and the side panel. Aside from the obvious enough fans and good airflow etc. I have a small mid tower case with plenty of airflow but my glass side panel (which holds a lot of heat because its glass) is very close to the exhaust area of the card. With my side panel on my card is hitting 85C with fans at 70%. When I remove the side panel, I go down almost 10C. My case airflow is great, I have tested it. But my space inside is small. These cards need lots of space.
 
You have an open air case but you have a side panel that might be close to the card. I think that is the issue personally but I am not an expert I have just been doing my own testing.

Here you can see my problem the temps just spike.
 

Its instantly, like a second 

2080ti in my office build all on water not more than 55c. I'm still waiting for blocks to show up from ekwb for the 3090 so I can put it on water.

These GPUs surely need lots of air flow.  What are the ambient temps?  Hiding in a cabinet?  Too many variables as you'll see those with lower temps with the proper environment for these power GPUs.

For reference, my 3090 FTW3 Ultra hits about 62-64C under load in FS2020. I’m running with render resolution turned up to approximate VR loads. Clock is hitting about 1.95GHz.
 
Ventilation is key. My fans also are at 100% at 60C.

If you aren't comfortable doing a repaste, I suggest getting ahold of EVGA and starting an RMA (after they do some troubleshooting with you, likely): 

Will I lose warranty if I change the thermal paste ? 

Had the same issue. Opened my glass side. now it runs 63-65C. This card is a beast

So far, mine just shreds whatever I throw at it. I haven’t undervolted or overclocked yet, either. Still running stock but looking forward to undervolting.
 
But it is a bit of a heater, though. I‘ve got one 120mm fan on my case door blowing air into the box below the 3090 fan intakes and another 120mm door fan grabbing hot air above the card and blowing it out of the case. I need to draw up and print a couple of ducts to better separate hot and cold air outside the box so there isn’t as much mixing outside the door, but overall temps are really good. I have the card fans hitting 100% at 60C so there is some noise but the box contains most of it.


Two 120mm fans on the case front blowing air into the box, two 120mm fans on the CPU radiator blowing air up and out the top of the box. One fan blowing out the top back of the box, and another down low on the power supply blowing out the bottom back. The expansion slot blankoff plates are all ventilated and the entire bottom of the case is a filter. The fans are all speed controlled by the mobo except for the FTW3 fans.
 
With lots of ventilation, the card runs relatively cool even under heavy loads.

Thats my problem I have an open chassis its not closed

That's what I seem to notice.  What you really need is a way to mount a fan or a couple fans.  So that they feed cooler air directly under the card to be sucked in by the fans on the gpu.  Like even if you could put a house fan by your case to blow at the card.  Then if your temps don't drop you might have an issue with your card or the fans on it.
 
If you look at posts with pictures you'll start to notice some trends with ones running hot versus the ones running at lower temps.
