Any AIO options for Zotac 3080 Trinity?

[Luke]

Like many others with this card even with fan curve adjustments I do find fan noise intrusive.
I've not got the budget for a custom loop as I have no existing kit, and wondered if there were any AIO options available? Alphacool did one but it seems unavailable.
Cheers

Assume you have stripped it repasted it and are using it with a proper undervolt?

 

[Luke]

No to both tbh. I've used AS5 on my CPU and have lots left. Is this appropriate?

 

[Luke]

Sorry, Arctic Silver MX-6

Super quick basic UV guide, try this before you re-paste it.

 

[Luke]

Thank you, I'll certainly explore the cheap option before splashing out!

I couldn't even run a card without a UV these days so much power to be saved, lower heat and better for card longevity - oh and the noise too.

I'm assuming you mean this:

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Arctic MX-6 Thermal Compound - 4g (SKU: TH-01T-AR) = £8.99

Total: £16.98 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

As far as I'm aware there is no "silver" variant of MX6, that said MX6 is probably one of the better pastes for a GPU re-paste so it's an excellent choice if you still feel it's necessary after an undervolt and fan curve is in place.

 

[Luke]

Apologies, you're quite right. It is that paste.

If you end up repasting your card just to save you hours of frustration and so you only have to do the job once get some PTM7950 or one of the rebrands that are out now. 3080/3090 are known to pump out thermal paste after a couple of weeks. You'll know its starting to pump out as the delta between core and hotspot temp slowly increases.

This is worth checking on your card using GPU-Z. Have it running in the background and run some uncapped benchmarks or a graphic intense game and look at the delta between core and hotspot temps. From memory 12-13 degrees is as good as it gets, once its 20+ your paste has pumped out basically

Just ran heaven benchmark for 10 minutes, temps aren't awful tbh. GPU temp peaks at 69c, hot spot at 79c, memory is higher at 86c.
Did the undervolting as the video showed and those temps reduced to GPU 64c and Hot spot 76c with memory 84c.
Fans do appear slightly quieter. Those temps to me don't seem to scream out thermal paste issues but happy to be corrected on that.

You could always deshroud and strap a couple of quiet 120mm fans on the card.

As well as Undervolting
You can also lower power limit
I lower my 3080ti to 280--300w
Then I add a manual overclock to the vram
And gpu
End up barely losing any performance compared to
Letting it run at 380w

Assuming you've tried setting a custom fan curve?
