The Ampere RTX 3090 Owners Thread

joacoerazo · 28 Mar 2021 at 18:11

Full view:

Two PNY RTX 3090 RTL8 hidden by the Noctua´s fans:

Upper card´s heatsink (From an old AMD processor):

Lower card´s heatsink

Fan controller for the extra fans (Those get really noisy if you don't lower their rpms).

Not as fancy as the water solutions seen here but is working at this moment.
Hope you like it.

What's it used for?

Mainly:
Level design (Unreal/Unity), 3d render and simulation (Maya/Blender, learning Houdini and Embergen). And Adobe suite for the rest (Learning Krita and other open source).
Second:
Learning IA, shader programming, simulations and Gaming!

Full view:

Two PNY RTX 3090 RTL8 hidden by the Noctua´s fans:

Upper card´s heatsink (From an old AMD processor):

Lower card´s heatsink

Fan controller for the extra fans (Those get really noisy if you don't lower their rpms).

Not as fancy as the water solutions seen here but is working at this moment.
Hope you like it.

that is some getto ass mining rig lol
have you got a SLI connector?

Thats a lot of fans lol. How loud is that?

On idle... 31 db (Can`t hear it)
On cpu load 41 db
On Simulation/Render 55 db (loud)
While gaming... no idea

sorry about that!

To be honest, the louder fans are the RTX´s ones. (Right know making the mining test with Hive/linux usb ant the level is 60 db, very loud! but here I am able to reduce the fan speed and right now is set to 90% )

I have to separate these cards one from another (To cool them down), so no NVI Link

It's ok but it could use some more fans.

LOL.
In fact I just seen this video:

I´m searching for the thermal pads thickness specifications for my cards. That way surely cool it down far better. But no luck at all on that research.
There is a lot of information on other brands (Specially FE).

See this one (He seems to use the cards the same way as I do):

No need to open extra holes for screws!
Far better

I might be solo on this outlook, but the way I processed it was like this. Each fan would say use 5w, so in situations like the above your really wasting a chunk of wattage there. If the card is drawing 260w mining then people are strapping multiple fans on extra to keep it cool, your mining calcs should factor in the extra. So two on the side and two underneath is an extra 20w (overall card consumption to mine thus being 280w).

You could just tone back the clocks some and keep the temps down and thus need less fans (machine/room would be quieter) as in the crusade for more HASHRATE can be a bit deceiving don't you think?

Interesting theory but we can resolve this with some simple maths.

The 3090 will do 120MH/s at around 295W, which is 0.4MH/J
To get a stock card to sensible temps, you need to get down to around to 105MH/s (best case) to achieve 94-96c Tj, here it's pulling 275W, giving you 0.38MH/J

Now your estimate of 5W per fan is very wild, 2W would probably still be a very pessimistic estimate, so at 303W and 120MH/s, we're still achieving 0.396MH/J

If you consider that the stock card estimate is with fans at 100% and with the side of the case off. You'll need to sacrifice even more hashrate to get the fans to a sensible level and inside a case, then it becomes even more apparent that the effort is more than worth it.

gpuerrilla · 29 Mar 2021 at 09:02

Yes just a flash thought like you mention regarding effort mainly, then power. Sometimes all the effort (and ignored additional power from more devices) factor in when you could just dial the clock back a little and focus on other things.

Thank you for the advice Th0nt and Mikehhhhhhh,
I´m not trying to go that way, I just using that to fully load my cards ("Brute force"), since loading some games (GTA-Shadow of the Tomb Raider) not always do.
My simulations takes some time loading the gpu, so the software used by this guys clearly forces my card in no time (I think even better than many benmarchs stress test). I need that info to get as stable as I can when my real load start (Scheduled on may).
In fact, I hated those guys (Minners), they make these cards tooo expensive.
But now, they have a lot information (and software) to help me prepare my computer for the heavy load.
Love and hate, hate and love.

Going to minning the days the computer is not making simulation?
I don´t know yet, but I don´t think so, not for now.

For now, I got some results, but can´t find how to check mem temp on HiveOs, because is a linux based os.
On stock, no extra fan or heatsink, the cards got 106 MH, with 70º on GPU one card and the other can´t remember, but much lower, something like 62º (No memory temp). Within minutes one card got down to 80 MH and the lower card on 90 MH.
30 minutes later they still got this results but the room was as hot as a mini sauna.
I saw a lot of red alerts and numbers on the HiveOs interface.
I stopped all (I think that was dangerous for my card)

I set up all the fans again. Tune to 90% speed the side fans, added my extra heatsinks (As you saw on the pictures), then change the memory to 1200, the power to 285 for each card, the core -300 and fan 95% all the time and the results changed:
Started equal, but in minutes the cards changed to this:
Upper card: 101 MH, 60º no idea memory temp (That is drive me crazy).
Lower card: 107 MH, 51º
I left it all day, and the result was the same for almost 9 hours.

I think the the 50º celsius is a good threshold to start but... I want to be sure because that is the GPU temp, not memory temp.
I want to know the memory temp as I see in windows (Junction). Anyone have an idea on how to do so on HiveOs?

Another thing:
I found a place where they share the thickness for my card (or at least it appears to be).
Just reading here from alphacool, they have that info if anyone is interested.
Hope this works for me.

joacoerazo · 30 Mar 2021 at 07:10

And other:

The memory on our cards (all 3090-3080- etc) has to run below 95º celsius.
I think the safe place is between 80-90. Please check the manufacturer´s information (Not Nvidia, memory manufacturer; Micron)

So you think it is safe to undervolt these cards even lower?
270 or 270 watts is safe?

Just let me know what do you think (Specially those her who do minning).

I'd be careful when using info from alphacool as the thickness they use is for their own waterblock and not the original heat sync, my card for instance says 1mm pads for VRAM according to alphacool yet even 2mm was not thick enough and needed 2.5mm in the end.
