You should probably get a 5800X3D Nexus, it seriously might help your 3080 with that 10GB frame buffer from those frame time spikes you get. I'm honestly not trolling you.

The de-lidded 8700k I did couple of years ago I used nail varnish, this time I just put masking tape round the GPU and carefully added the LM then removed the masking tape.
In other words I did a LtMatt.

Is the LM slimy? 
From 12 minutes onwards in my video, you get some more mirror/metal/glass surfaces.
There are a couple of maps/areas further on in the game which are very orientated around reflections with all the metal but I think they might be a bit further in the game e.g.
Not had a chance to upload video of that bit at the start yet @LtMatt ? Curious to see perf. etc. stats.

If you are careful, no need for varnish or anything IMO, however I can understand why folks do it for peace of mind.
Cleaning the liquid metal off it is very easy to spill a drop or two onto the surrounding components. Be that a GPU PCB or a Motherboard PCB.

I'll get to it at some point, but currently downloading a lot of different games and uploading videos to YouTube showing the performance of the 5800X3D.
@Duckwave Captured two 1440P videos, will share one of them later once its uploaded. FPS is virtually unchanged from 1080P for the most part.

@Duckwave First video is up, second will be available later today.
Found a 5800X3D running with a 3090 TI using DLSS at 1440P at the same settings. Seems to be noticeably slower, even with DLSS enabled.

That's sounding more like it! What you seeing on the edge temp?Well finally got around to stripping the PC, all new thermal pads and thermal paste......
Well happy with that. The Junction temp before was 90-95 and now max I have seen is 60c

Cool, was there any indication to why you where getting such awful temps with the factory fitted block.
Poor mounting pressure?
Thermal pad poorly placed?
Poor paste application?

It has to be poor presure if there was nothing you could see wrong. You'll have to get 22.4.2 driver installed and give 3Dmark a bash!

Bet that took a little wattage to get 23.5K graphics lol.
Not messed around, so this is stock lol. Just tinkered in the Radeon software settings.

Power Limit Total: 332 W GPU: 320 A SOC: 55 A
So can you get 382w with +15%?
I find like any lump of sand the last 4-5% costs a lot of extra power. I can get 22K graphics for my standard 293w power limit (255w+15%)

RMA'd my 6900XT today @LtMatt
Hoping they can repair or replace it and my cold boot issues are gone. 3080ti is a good card, but I'm literally getting like 50-60fps less with it. I could use max AA with sharpening on 69000xt and never go below 180fps. I'm getting lows of 130fps with my 3080ti without sharpening.
Really hard to play without sharpening on WZ now, not going to lie.
