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

Sorry, Arctic Silver MX-6

I'm assuming you mean this:

My basket at OcUK:

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.

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.
 
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?

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

I had been looking at 120mm Noctua Redux fans, but not sure if I'd run them from the fan or MB for speed control.

Yes, had to do this otherwise it did an annoying stop start on the first fan which was really intrusive at idle.
 
Is it worth using a single splitter cable from the GPU 4 pin output to drive both 120mm fans, or use one output per fan? Sorry, I know these are basic questions.
 
The majority were splitters, but I'll get some that are single cables. Thanks. That will be my project for next week.
 
Another option
Use 3 x 92mm fans
Get 2 of the adapters Pastymuncher mentioned
And 1 x splitter to 2 fans and third fan on its own
Theres a few manufacturers make 92mm
From cheap like artic up to noctua
The noctua should definitely be quieter than
The original fans obviously
But those are £18 each
The artic should be quieter and those are only about £4 each

Then if you dont have a 3d printer
Ask in the 3d printing section if someone could
Do you a favour and print the shroud and cable cover for you
Its available on thingiverse for your exact gpu
