Right to repair is an ongoing movement, not a law, and even so it doesn't change the fact that the warranty would be voided for modifying it

I'd love to run my card at 95C... unfortunately that seems to be easier said than done lol, won't go below 98 like this and it seems to mostly sit at 100-102

I think I'm gonna do some more research on my own and then probably buy the stuff and just go for it. In the meantime I'm gonna see if I can underclock my GPU while I'm mining enough to the point where it will stay within range for temperatures, even if that means accepting lower hash rate. I...

Yea the airflow is pretty good actually when I crank the fans up to 100% I measured and they get up to 70db right next to the computer, which obviously could just be a fluke, but you can also feel the air flowing past your legs when you're sitting down with it next to your legs.

Yeah I saw some people switched out the thermal pads on the front and added ones on the back for extra cooling, the stock fans in this are kinda ludicrously powerful, so I have tons of airflow. I might go this route, but I'm still terrified of messing something up and permanently damaging the...

I just saw this video from LinusTechTips about the 3080 and 3090 backplate cooling problem, View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToTWaZtGOj8 And after installing HWiNFO, yeah it checks out for my card. I have the Alienware Aurora R11 PC with I7 10700KF and RTX 3080, I bought it because of...
