Ok, I’ll leave it for now. No intention of mining so I’ll just keep an eye (or ear) on the fans and see if they start ramping up more and more.

Completely agree, fingers crossed.I think MSI AfterBurner should add a feature to check Ram temps also, then adjust fan speed to suit. I'm not aware that they do this currently.
Trust me the fans will let know when you hit the thermal limit, it's not a slight ramping up it's deafening. Even if you do it isn't going to damage your card. I read somewhere that the 110c limit was introduced in a driver update, so Nvidia obviously know about the "issue" and think it's fine. I only stress about the temps because I'm mining in my off time, otherwise I would just get on with gaming and forget about it.Ok, I’ll leave it for now.

Yep, now I have swapped them and can confirm a solid 15-20c improvement it is poor for such a scrimp when buying in bulk means the cost at factory to apply better pads would be pennies per card. The stuff you remove is horrible I wouldnt be surprised even with no mining just gaming that after two years it would be in good enough shape to keep the unit cool.
Are you mining?
From what I've read, the pads they use are designed to maintain the same performance over the long term. Whether or not the pads people are using to replace them last as long, remains to be seen I guess. My past couple of times gaming for a few hours with HWInfo running has shown max VRAM temps of 90c. That's only playing EFT though which isn't hammering the GPU (around 40-50% utilisation). Something such as Cyberpunk 2077 may push the GPU harder.
These things come with a 3 year warranty, surely they'll use parts they would expect to last for that duration.Yes.
I doubt in two years time thes stock pads will be performing as they did when they left the factory. Some spots you could peel and almost put aside to re-use, whereas others were a mush and disintegrated when you touched them.
Isn’t the GDDR6X made by Micron?it seems that stressing over memory temps is a red herring. the reported memory temps are supposed to be the junction temps, not the chip surface temps which Samsung apparently specifies and which are lower. the driver starts throttling when the mem temps get too high - just like you can't kill the GPU die, you shouldn't be able to kill the mem either. of course if it starts throttling due to mem temps, then you have a problem.
think about it, would NV risk getting tons of returns inside the warranty period? of course their driver avoids that. they know people mine, and they can update their driver to cope with issues.
I agree, they made an assessment that setting a 110c cap would save them enough money on claims to make it not worth putting better pads in, which would be very cheap and easy. Unless they're counting on hardly anyone having a warranty in the first place due to scalpers etc.it seems that stressing over memory temps is a red herring. the reported memory temps are supposed to be the junction temps, not the chip surface temps which Samsung apparently specifies and which are lower. the driver starts throttling when the mem temps get too high - just like you can't kill the GPU die, you shouldn't be able to kill the mem either. of course if it starts throttling due to mem temps, then you have a problem.

So has anyone else found that installing the FE has pushed temps on system ram over it's thermal stability?

If the hot air is cooler than the components, it’ll still cool them, just not by as much.According to jay his system ran cooler with the card exhaust dumping air onto other components. Not sure how that works with hot air 0_o
