What's the best recent guide to undervolt my 3080 FE.

I used this, works great https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqpfYTi43TE

Also undervolted my 5900x, that was the biggest win in temp and noise levels (air cooler)

I just managed to get a Gigabyte AORUS NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME. Should be a nice upgrade over the Titan XP.

Given the current FE blocks weigh a bit, i'm guessing these are gonna waigh a ton

Can we add Nvidia to the 3080 owners thread too ? Not sure for how many cards but seems like a lot :cry:

I'm confused, is the $1499 MSRP meaning the 12gb 3080 is £1099 from Nvidia? Does that mean the FE 3080Ti and 3090 will be bumped up?

There won't be a Founders Edition of the 3080 12GB card.

I'm assuming for the very reason it'd have to be prices too close to the 3080Ti?

Apparently sales of rtx 3000 cards already dropped 20% in the last month so I can't see prices remaining this high especially as the demand from miners starts to wane.

I remember getting my GTX980 card, same *80 tier card, for £449. Now the same tier card is over £1000. Sad times.

I remember getting a 980ti for £500.

I also remember top end Radeon (not the silly X2 ones) cards costing £330.

Sorry typo ion my part 449 not 499 for my 980

Are there any aftermarket coolers for the 3080 FE which aren't waterblocks?

i wish EK would do a normal ~ £150 clock for the 3080 fe... i like the expensive ones but they cost too much, it's just not justifiable for a card that cost £650
