I was told the other day that the 3080s were being recalled due to heating issues is this true? I can only find similar news back in September.

Didn't they fix an issue with them with a driver update? I might be wrong but they were running very close to their edge out of the box?

I am looking at getting an MSI myself.

Don't know what was up but they cancelled the recall apparently. Only heard about it yesterday through a group chat.

Im pretty sure it was causing crasehs so nvidia released an update to lower the clocks. there is no head room on it what so ever apparently. so you couldnt over clock it.

As far as I know there was never any problem with them. There were multiple problems with a broad range of cards crashing but this was fixed with BIOS updates and was nothing to do with overheating. On the contrary, the MSI run nice and cool. In fact their cooling performance was up there with Asus and Gigabyte, but the MSI is more configured for noise, so if you don't mind more noise you can tweak the fan in the MSI to be cooler.
