Ok so just finished this new build, been trying to get my OC down but having some issues.   Hoping to get some help from you folks.   I think i have been doing ok but my GPU temps are only topping out at 63C, am I wrong to think I should be getting higher temps?  anyway here are my system specs and ill post a few pics so you can see my current OC and scores.   Thanks!!
 
windows 10 64bit
i9- 10850k runing at 5.1 all cores
asus strix Z590-E gaming motherboard
EVGA rtx 3080 ftw3 ultra
32GB corsair 3600mhz ram
360mm h150i elite cappelixx AIO in push/pull
overall 13 fans so system stays pretty cool
Windows is on a samsung 980pro 1TB nvme
2nd samsung 970 EVO+ 2TB nvme

    In a well ventilated case, those temps are swa.  Mine were even better once I got an Undervolt/OC dialed in when I had my 3080 FTW3 Ultra, I went from this:
     

     
    To around 55C in the same game with an OC/undervolt of something like 2040MHz @ 983mV, with fans at about 75% for that.
     
    I also got this out of it:
     
     
    Which for my CPU & that GPU is pretty good.  Keep in mind that was benchmark clocks, not stable completely by any means, the OC/Undervolt was rock stable though.
     
    Looks like you've got it goin' pretty good so far though!
     
    If I were you, since you have an air-cooled card, I'd recommend going for an inbetween in terms of high clocks vs going for an undervolt.  Find a happy medium where you're running 1025-1050mV (which will draw less power than stock) but running a nice OC.  You might even be able to run something like 2070MHz stable at those voltages too. mine was close, but I settled on 2040Mhz @ 983mV because it ran so much cooler than stock while giving me a nice OC compared to stock.

    Thanks for the info, if you think it's looking ok maybe I should leave as is for now, i haven't gotten anywhere near 70c in nioh 2 max 4k so I'm not worried about the card burning up, I just figured I was loosing performance cause not enough heat. I will be switching cpu for a 11900k whenever they release. So maybe I'll come back to this after the swap. I'm happy with my current cpu #'s, but I built this for rocket lake in mind for pci 4.0

    Nah the cooler the better, just means you have good airflow - just because the GPU is "designed" to operate in the 80sC for 3+ years & not die doesn't mean it should do so :-D
     
    I would definitely fiddle with your GPU as much as you want though, maybe find that edge where it's just barely under where it loses stability, or go for a more happy medium with an undervolt-overclock, you can always have profiles for both, run the higher end clocks in tougher games, and the undervolt/OC on easier titles to conserve heat generation & save on some power draw.
     
    That's sort of what I've been doing.  I messed with it early on after pushing for max clocks for purely benchmarking, then got around to trying out some undervolt curves, tested 2100MHz @ 1025mV both in benchmark stress tests, and more importantly, games, and found it to be stable, then I decided to push on & see how I high I could go.  Seems like 2160MHz @ 1068mV is about the limit, going higher than that for a set voltage point doesn't seem to work as in it doesn't STAY at that voltage (since Afterburner is STILL in Beta for Ampere cards, can't blame it too much), and going any higher on clocks results in crashes occasionally in Cyberpunk 2077 or visual errors like shadows occasionally flashing.  The real kicker is the +1000 memory offset I can run along side that, I've never had a GPU with vRAM that could run an offset that chonkay and actually be stable while doing it - haven't had an issue yet... but I've also only ran graphics stress tests & Cyberpunk 2077, I'm sure some games I'll have to run it lower, and in games that I play more competitively like CS:GO, I just run the card at the 2100MHz @ 1025mV, with no memory OC, to lower the temperatures since I run with my FPS capped at my 240Hz maximum refresh rate, just in that title.
     
    Enjoy the setup man, that's nice lookin' build ya got there 
     
    Hopefully others will come along with more/other detailed suggestions, I'm not too uppity on OCing in terms of the CPUs these days, my 9900K is literally a "slap some voltage on it & put the multi at 50x" - I did more extensive work on RAM OCing for my system, but I don't run that for daily use anymore because the extra 400MHz didn't seem "worth it" overall.

    Nah the cooler the better, ...



    Cooler is Better! I sank some more $$$ into it already. I didn't even notice the 26c temp on here. I was so tired that night:
    I need to get another good OC session in. I haven't even installed the XOC bios yet...

    Thanks bud, A few years ago I built a only EVGA PC.  Learned alot from that and used it to build this one, pretty happy with how it turned out.   Now the waiting game on a 11900k....

    Great PC

    If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walkup behind them, and stab them in the heart.
