That is a rather high delta, especially if you're counting general temp and not hotspot. As others here said, might be worth remounting and checking pressure - perhaps some overly stiff pads are weakening core contact. I've also found EK to be rather hit and miss with their surface contact...

Cheers. You have a nice card going too. And this is my Kingpin card, yep. The core on the FE is actually the better of the two, although its easier to push the RAM here with FBVDD exposed, so it catches up somewhat. It's interesting how different the cards are. The FE sees peak power spikes at...

I don't think using a chiller in a loop is extreme cooling at all. The clocks I use on my 3090 on 3dmark HOF are the exact same as the clocks I use in 24/7 gaming. I'm not playing a lot of Eve Online right now but my rigs are built with MMOs in mind - if you crash you risk losing assets that...

Maybe, but it's the internet. People will claim all kinds of things for an upvote. I've tried and failed tonight to break 3090s on this game/menu/etc. And I'm pretty sure a lot of people with 3090s have played both the alpha and beta and been totally unaffected.

Agreed that GPUs should be able to run at their power limit without incurring problems. Still, I suppose we do have endless hours of people stuck on a screen that is more demanding that it might appear to people who don't monitor gpu temps, usage, power, etc. like people on this forum might...

Well, I bought the game just to test out this Menu of Death. It was rather exciting to fire it up the first time. Power sliders to maximum.. Steam is preparing your game.. is this the end for a noble 3090? (or two?). Did we ask whether we could but not whether we should? Can Dangermouse and...

I think EVGA offer to swap those out - it might be worth doing, since in the long run (possibly even after its warranty period) you might be ambushed by a similar but unexpected situation in a game causing something like that.

I would assume most of the cards failing to be first-gen 3090 FTW3s that had faulty power management/voltage controllers and were prone to the fuses popping and the 'red light of death'. There are probably still enough of those in circulation that a popular game with conditions conducive (a high...

Definitely no difference for a GPU. Even for an SSD, it depends what you're using it for. Sustained, large transfers will be better under the new pcie 4.0 drives. But if you're comparing game loading times, the fastest SSD still happen to be PCIE 3.0 drives (not because of PCIE 3.0, of...

From the screens sent, I'd say the behaviour with a clock boost seems fairly normal given the temps and power settings. The memory junction temperature gives you the highest reading from the modules. Therefore it's always possible that you have a torn or mis-aligned thermal pad that is causing...

Neither 7980XE or 9980XE are on the supported CPU list for Win11 and the Win11 checker announces that they are incompatible when its run. Of course in reality, it may be possible to finagle an Insider build to install anyway. The TPM 2.0 situation is a little unclear but the 10980XE (which is...

An interesting thing is that when I originally uploaded that score (hof #14 then, #15 now), every single score above it was temperature 'N/A', i.e. an Ln2 run. That new 6900XT run is at 'only' 42c (still a great temp, of course). So if you extrapolate that fact, it's reasonable to assume that...

If you pick a game that isn't too power hungry and the card isn't throttling on power, then assuming the temps are fine it'll simply run the best voltage it can and whatever clockspeed matches that voltage on the v/mhz curve (you can open this curve in Afterburner to see). I'd guess that most...

So looking at the situation here, the memory is definitely on the hot side (104c) but the overall performance cap reason is power. Just to be clear, the way this works is as follows. The GPU is requesting 1.1v and if all conditions for this were met it would get that and the Perfcap reason...

Reversing the airflow is definitely worth a go. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the hot air rising dynamic when it comes to active airflow like this - do what makes sense for your case. And it's easy enough to switch back if the temps don't improve. You also don't necessarily need a very...

There are a lot of ways to throw money at the problem of cooling the back of the card. But not everything need be expensive. Simple options would be: 1) re-pad the back to something like Gelid Extreme. No need to go crazy with Fujipoly and the associated expense. The Gelid will still knock a...

This run is on a new Kingpin HydroCopper (imported it about a month ago, which was a hassle). It's a fun card to play with. The core isn't in the same league as my FE card though, which remains my main gaming card and the other top 20 scores on 3dmark are mostly with that card. The FE could...
