I just got a message back from Micro Center that adding a thermal pad will not void my warranty. I started mining (have a 3080 for mainly gaming, but thought it would be cool to get some money on the side by it running while I’m not home) and apparently the VRAM temps get very hot, and that degrades my gpu. Since I’m not very keen on that I undervolted it (40% power limit) so the vram temps are 95/96°C, but that does hinder the profit by quite a bit.
For extra cooling on the VRAM the only thing I found was thermal pads. I couldn’t find any benchmarks or anything, other that they exist. How well do thermal pads work? What might be the best thermal pads to buy? Anything else I can get for extra cooling on the VRAM? I have an ASUS 3080 TUF OC.
