I have an ASUS 3080 TUF OC. Before I start I want to be clear on something, I did not buy this card to mine. I bought this card a few months ago to only game on, and only recently started mining to make a few extra bucks on the side with my idle computer. I’m using NiceHash to mine, and when I started the VRAM temps rose to 110°C and I got some warnings. I then optimized it to the lite setting and it went to 100°C. I had to manually change (ASUS’ GPU Tweak III) the power target to 40% to get it at a stable 90°C, because I heard that was the best temp to not damage/degrade the card too much, but that makes it fairly slow for mining. I thought the TUF card had the best VRAM temps out of all the 3080’s? How do I keep it from being so high? I like the idea of crypto mining, but I don’t want to degrade my card since the primary focus is still gaming.
idle temps are 66°C, gaming temp is 80°C.
