3080 load temps

[Martin James]

Hi

For my EVGA 3080 XC3 Ultra I’m messing around with the fan curves. Currently I’ve got them so under load it keeps the temps at around 70c, but this is a tad noisy. What’s a good load temp/noise ratio to aim for? Under default fan conditions I max out at around 79-80c but felt this was a little high.

any suggestions happily accepted.

I have the MSI Trio. Playing a game now and it's sitting around 38 degrees. In more demanding games it goes to 50 degrees. Undervolting FTW!

Yeah, I’m not impressed with the cooling on the EVGA!

Sounds a tad toasty, might be a case ventilation issue?
My 3080 tuf will run flat out gaming around 62C with the fans about 60% all day long, which I can barely hear.

case is a CoolerMaster H500M, with two 200mm front fans, and two 240mm extract fans at the top and a 240mm extract fan at the rear. Been on the EVGA forum and apparently it’s common with this card. I’ve activated the aggressive fan curve and it’s a little better.

What sort of clock speed is the card running while at 70C? Not sure about your card, but my old 1080Ti ftw had two bios options, one ran a stronger fan curve.

Using MSI Afterburner I set my fan curve like for like, meaning at 40c the fans were at 40%RPM and my Aorus 1080ti Extreme runs at around 55 to 60c under Gaming/streaming conditions, left on a weak fan curve and it would be in the high 70's and even 80's.
