I have an MSI RTX 3060 ti 8GB Gaming X Trio and I have two temperatures showing on it, one that hits 79c-ish and another that hits 89c-ish. I removed the fans and cleaned out what little there was there and then removed the backplate and the heatsink screws but I couldn't get the PCB and chip to come away from the heatsink.
I didn't want to force it and nothing I have done has changed the temperatures. Is this just a matter of having the guts to force this or is there a chance it is 'welded together' with the pad (for want of a better term). The backplate took a bit more force than I expected but that's onto caps etc. and I obviously don't want to damage the die. I don't even know if this has a plate going over the die or are the cores exposed.
I haven't used this card since last year but I thought it ran a lot cooler, it is idling mid 40's as well. Now I need to use it because my 3070 decided to throw it. They've been used in an Obsidian 950D with 7 intakes so it isn't like they've been starved of air and it I live in Scotland so it isn't like there's hot weather straining it all the time. Personally I welcome global warming and my chance to grow pineapples but I don't see any signs of it here. I still have a dual MSI 1070 ti setup from about 2018 (17?) that has zero problems and both those cards were in the 950D and hammered with overclocking for around 6 months.
So any tips appreciated, with the card and not the pineapple growing.
