Palit 3080 Gaming Pro super hot?

Nearly all of the 3000 series cards will work just as well with an undervolt and will also rwsikt in about 10 oc lower temperatures. The fans will be spinning slower too.
Going to try an under volt and see what happens
 
plalit are known to be hot, my MSI gaming X trio 3090 hits 80C with default fan profile (msi PROFILE IS TERRIBLE only reaches 40% fan speed) with a decent profile it sits at 70C with 65% fans

70-80C is pretty normal for top end cards
Known by who ?

I have 2 x 3090 Palit Gamerocks in Nvlink/SLI both on the OC profile BIOS switch and they don't run hot and actually run a lot cooler than the 2 x 3090FE I had in as a test before and why I went with AIB 3 fan cards instead.

Comes down to poor airflow in the case or poor case for the card or placement if using risers or vertical mounting. My experience so far with Palit has been excellent.

As can be seen here :-


Even with a sound card sat vertically next to them. They haven't missed a beat or ever throttled or got to silly temps even in summer.

But as stated temps for 30 series are warmer and that is down to the nvidia's boost feature pushing cards as fast as they will go in their safe limits and also 30 series used more power than previous generations of gpus, so more power more heat too and also 30 series have better coolers too so counters the temp issues on well designed gpu coolers. Basically if the card doesn't throttle in normal use then all is fine, if it does maybe check airflow in the case and if that looks right try card outside of case and if it is still an issue it may mean the card needs new thermal paste/pads if everything was at stock settings for the card and no oc applied or manual fan curves.

your going back 3 years but when i was looking for the right card for me i was looking at every review i could find & those cards run generally were always a the bottom of the charts for temps
