Hello,

I’ve got one of the Zotac GeForce RTX 3060Ti Twin Edge LHR arriving for the missus rig today. I’ve read some pretty scary reviews regarding thermals and noise so I’ve decided I’ll probably undervolt it.

I don’t mind sacrificing a bit of performance if it means a cooler and quieter experience.

If you have one of these cards or a similar variant please share your current settings, it would be cool to have some references!

Thanks
 
Is it necessary for a model that does not run the hotter X memory chips?

I am only speaking from experience as I have jumped from a MSI 3070 to a 3080 FE, and the FE requires some tweaking to make it comfortable.
 
which reviews? 3060ti amazing pretty calm and collected card.. its so cool and low power consumption

if any trouble, push something like 900mv + 1900 mhz and ure probably golden and good to go

if it create crash, problem or anything like that, push 900 mv + 1850 mhz for good measure. if that does not work either, then try 1825 and 1800 mhz in every step

most undervolts only stable at certain games and not stable in certain games. u may never know. i had a 900 mv 1900 mhz oc stable until i played metro exodus ee with rt enabled. it crashed!! horribly. kept crashing. then i tried 900 mv 1875 mhz. played it a bit longer. eventually crashed again!!! it was a fake undervolt, it was only stable in puny games that didn't stress the gpu completely! i had to settle on 1825 mhz and it was stable and not crashed for longest of times.

All Ampere cards undervolt pretty similarly. 950mV is a good compromise between lower power draw and clocks. Every one I've seen can hold a clock speed just north of 2GHz set like that, with a notable reduction in power draw. Which will almost certainly be better performance than stock, since anything except the high end models will be hitting the power limit constantly without tweaking.
 
I got the zotac 3060 ti and ending up selling to a friend, unfortunately under volting did not reduce the noise enough to warrant me keeping the card, anything past 65% was just too loud, I hope the inno3d card is quieter.

Was 82 at stock, undervolting took it down to 76 ish which was acceptable to me, the noise on the other hand was not, I tried setting the fans at 65% but the card would just throttle, first and last time ill buy a zotac.
 
I can only assume some of you lads could have case cooling issues for me the Zotac non OC 3060 Ti stays around 67 - 69c and that was after 1 hours worth of benching (Always bench a new card just in case ) all settings at defaults no overclocking or undervolting. Noise wise i did not notice anything significant that could be a problem and i have had a lot of cards over the years that i have been building PC`s
 
I've applied the undervolt, temps have dropped 4-5 degrees (68C), core boosting to 1800 @ 171W and 47% fan. Definitely quieter and cooler. Tested so far with Timespy and score only dropped 80 points from stock.
 
It seems you can get some decent overclocks on the new LHR Zotac`s i can get my card boosting to 2100 i had a 3060ti fe last year and i could not get that stable above 2000 maybe Nvidia have tweaked the silicon on the LHR`s or it could just be the manufacturing process is maturing.
 
I have a 3070ti and at ultra the fans kick in and can be loud but the box is under the desk and I got used to them and don't notice it when playing games.
Lower demand games and working, its silent.
There is the software you can download to custom set fan speeds but I haven't tweaked the card yet.

The custom fan settings is in the settings panel.
