Normal
Had to move my desktop to a room in the house without air-conditioning.The deshrouded Zotac 3080 Holo I have with me is still running a bit toasty in this environment, barely managing 80C @ 300W power draw in spite of Kryonaut repaste and the VRAM to heatsink thermal pads swapped with Gelid GP-Extreme 2mm, with 2 Nidec GT-1850 fans at 1850rpm as exhaust. Trying to look at which way is better at improving thermals short of using liquid metal and/or converting to a full custom loop.1) Swap the Nidec GT-1850 fans for 2 Phanteks T30 in advanced mode and brute force some more airflow- there seems to be 5mm extra clearance beyond the 25mm fans I have so it should just fit2) Trade up for a deshroud-friendly (i.e no protruding clips like the EVGA cards or Asus's TUF) 3090 for ~$700, repaste/repad and try mining to offset the costs as much as possible.Thoughts?
