30xx Series Founders Edition

I've got a 3060Ti FE and I'm wondering if it's worthwhile to under volt it? Temps seem ok (below) but I'm thinking more electricity savings!

I've got a basic Afterburner tune by having power at 100%. Cyberpunk at 1440p with most settings at max averages about 63°C which seems impressively low (I installed an extra 140cm fan right in front of the GPU pushing hot air out the back of the case - maybe that's helping?). My CPU averages about 63°C which is higher than any other game. Both Cyberpunk and VR gaming are almost maxing out the GPU load at high 90's.

I’d imagine it would be pretty cool with a 140cm fan in front of the GPU!

Aye it seems pretty good, but since installing this card my CPU temps have definitely increased a little as my fans are kicking in to audible levels (got custom profiles).

Is this normal for a more powerful card to influence the CPU? Or maybe just Cyberpunk coincidence.

I had a 3070 and now have a 3080ti, ive yet to see a "reference card" that rivals the buils quality of these things, nvidia are very apple like in their presentations and thats now filtering over to their products and how theyre presented and built.

100% this

I was shocked at how premium the 3080 fe felt and looked when I got mine, literally makes AIB models feel like child's toys imo. Also, zero gpu sag with it too compared to AIB, even my sapphire pulse vega 56 had some sag and obviously it was lighter and smaller.
 
I've now got a 3090 FE and I have to say the build quality is impressive... I've also had a 3060 Ti & 3070 FE and all FE models this gen ( at least what I've tested ) are incredible... the build quality, the acoustics, the design.

Yep, for a change, Nvidia got something right first time with these coolers (3090 Ti backside memory chips not withstanding).

I was, and still am, highly impressed with the aesthetics, cooling and build quality of my 3080 Ti FE.

Agree mate the only thing I wish the 3090 had was a higher power limit.. but then i guess the temps and noise would be worse..other than that its a great card will definitely see me to next gen!

I did indeed mate haha - I wanted to get the 3090 Ti a few weeks ago but due to personal reasons I wasn't in the mindset or position to be looking at my pc but my mate has sold me the 3090 for £650 with warranty remaining ive sold my 3080 for £550 to my brother and ive left him to flog his 2080 Ti.. I remember going from 1080 Ti to Titan Xp there's definitely a bigger performance gap with 3080 and 3090 than there was 1080 Ti and Titan Xp (2017) the next 2 games I'm really looking forward too and I hope I can max out at 4k is silent hill 2 and resident evil 4! :)
