Idk. Waiting till the 3000 series gets restocked and in the meantime rent a server for the deep learning stuff I have to do for university. But because you mentioned it: How likely is it that I brick my card by repasting it and replacing the thermal pads? I'm not a complete noob so I think I...

Yes, the card sadly is still in warranty. I have around 2 years of my 4 in total left. If opening the card is going to void it, idk to be completely honest but I think so, yes. I tried nearly anything to fix the temp problems with my GPU so right now I'm at the point where I have to say that I...

Hey everyone! I'm trying to improve my GPU temps (RTX 2080 TI Gaming OC) because after two years of using the card they pretty much suck (see one of my older post). After some testing and reading about it online it seems that the thermal paste and pads used by Gigabyte aren't that great and...

But do you really think it's normal that it reaches 85C° under a few minutes during gaming even though the fans spin with 100% speed? Let alone spin with 150% speed (I don't know the actual percentage because Aorus Engine doesn't show me) every few minutes because the card even reaches 86C°...

I actually have some "Noctua NT-H2" laying around because I repasted my CPU a few days ago, so that sounds great. Thanks for the tips.

I've tried it just now with the "Time Spy" benchmark and my graphics card reached 79C°. But I would like to mention that I've installed "Asus GPU Tweak 2" this afternoon and set a more aggressive fan curve with it. I think repasting it will be the only solution because I really don't have the...

So I removed the capture card and I think this improved things a little bit. The effect will probably be bigger if my case is closed. But while testing I noticed something new. Even though I mentioned in my original post that my temps are 10-15C° cooler with the side panel open I realized that...

That's a good point. But I can't really put it somewhere else, so it seems that removing it would be my only option... I will test this tomorrow and see if it improves anything. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the quick answer! There wasn't any dust visible when I took it out a few days ago but I will order some air spray to clean everything in my PC regardless. I thought about repasting it (even though I never tried it with a graphics card before) but I have two years warranty left...

Hey everyone. In the last few weeks I noticed that while playing demanding games my RTX 2080 TI nearly immediately reaches a temperature of around 85C°. Then every few minutes the temperature will go up to 86C° and some form of emergency cooling kicks in which makes its fans spin with a lot...

Hey everyone. Today I tried to remove my GTX 1080 because I'm going to sell it to a friend of mine tomorrow. As I was trying to get it out of the PCI slot with the help of a screwdriver, I slipped and seem to have damaged it. Here are some pictures of the damage: https://imgur.com/a/gZikpdz...
