Hi,
Always read posts when it comes to PC assistance but can't seem to figure out why my GPU Constantly runs hot even with an undervolt.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken Z3
Motherboard: Asus TUF GAMING X570-PLUS
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600
Storage: Samsung 970 Evo Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce RTX 3080 10GB 10 GB SUPRIM X Video Card
Case: Lian Li LANCOOL 215 ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Cooler Master V850 SFX 850 W 80+ Gold Certified
Cooling:
3 x 120MM Fans on the AIO Cooler which is mounted on the front of my case as Intake
2 x 120MM Fans on top of the case as Exhaust
1 x 120MM Fan as Exhaust on the back of the case
In NZXT Cam I have both the PUMP and Fan set too Performance, the other fans I'm 100% are set to exhaust air out the top and back.
Idle and Gaming Temps:
Idle: 44-46 Degrees Celsius
Full load: 80-83 Which then kicks thermal throttling in.
Summary:
Stock settings within the PC without the undervolt keep jumping to 83 then causing the thermal throttle to kick in when under load for 30 or so minutes, so I learnt how to undervolt the max I could do was .906 at 1920 MHZ Boost which then drops to 1905 MHZ.
I put in both exhaust fans earlier today on the top part of my pc to expect better thermals but it still runs hot to the touch and I have no idea why.
I have also noticed when finishing playing a game, it continues to clock at 1905 MHz and not come down from that till I restart my PC.
