3090FE temp limit 1 even when temps are ok?

[RexAlba]

Hi,

So I have my 3090 doing a bit of mining with nicehash when idle and I noticed the mining window was showing a warning about "Device #0 is running too hot, performance is degraded" even though its only sitting at 50 degrees.

Ran Afterburner and sure enough, temp is only 50 but temp limit showing 1 there too, same in HWMonitor... what the hell is going on - any ideas please?

Thanks,

Edit, I should add the temp limit/power limit sliders are maxed out at 114% and 90 degrees.

AAAH - thank you! yeah my VRAM was at 110 degrees :SSSS

Im waiting for my waterblock, think that will help with its semi active backplate (according to EKWB), apparantly its capable of £9 profit a day with current electricity/bitcoin prices maxed out but im only getting about £5 right now.

Cant be good for the memory to be at 110 degrees all day though :/

Thanks guys, trying some things now... that post you shared is great Jerry cheers.

I dont want to cook my card so will figure out a decent setup to control temps and obviously wont make the max possible but im pretty pumped about being able to still make decent money with this thing when otherwise idle

I was at stock so 100% power limit, I've now settled for 60% power limit with +850 overclock on the memory.
This gets me about 72M while still keeping the memory below 100 degrees, I have a EKWB 3090FE block on order so eventually will try it out with the active backplate.
