Furmark at 1080p preset: 84C, (score 11719), avg fps 195 I use Nvidia Control Panel fps limiter (120 fps) so in BF1 at 1080p high my temps are GPU 52C and hot spot 69C, WOT at 1080p high GPU 55C and hot spot 75C. Without the fps limiter BF1 and WOT run around 300-400 fps at which point the temps are: GPU ~90C and hot spot 105C. ... thats after replacing the thermal pads. Before it would run + 5...8C on all the temps. New thermal pads and an fps limiter together yield good temps and results.

Good question. I've used the card almost over a month now and haven't had any problems. As I took the card apart, I measured all the pads and checked if they were the same as in the post mentioned below. There is one more post on the topic on ltt. Same pad sizes are used here.

Just contributing... ASUS ROG-STRIX-RTX3070-08G-GAMING thermal pads Note: pads 10, 11, 12 and 16 - I used 1.5 mm thermal pads, which work, but after measuring the chips I think 2.0 mm pads should be the correct ones. I also sent the picture to the thermalpad.eu, so hopefully it will appear there as well.

Can confirm that these sizes mostly work. Although I made some corrections... PCB front thermal pads 1. F-strip should either be 90mm long to cover the needed chips or be made of 2 strips 40mm long. Rog strix 3070 oc doesnt have any chips in the middle where the F-strip thermal pad sits ... there is really no need to make it one long strip. PCB rear thermal pads 1. A-strips dimensions belong to C and C-strips belong to A. 2. Regarding the dimensions of the A-, B- and C-strips ... cut the strips: A-strip (17 x 35 mm), B-strip (19 x 48 mm) and C-strip (17 x 48 mm). Reinstall the X-bracket, place the strips where they belong (I placed one side of the strip against the bracket) and mark which corners should be cut (strips A and C). 3. In this guide there are no thermal pads on the chips that are between B- and D-strpis and a single chip that is between the main chip and the E-strip (on these chips is written 470 00VSG d), although on the 2nd photo one can see that there should be some pads. Lets call those F. I used leftover 1.5 mm thermal pads on these and thus had to cut separate rectangles for each chip. 1.5 mm made contact with the backplate, but maybe a softer 2.0 mm pad will also fit. The C-strips chips use 2.5 mm pads and are 0.5 mm lower than the F-strip ones, so they should use 2.0 mm ones, but 1.5 mm made contact. In total I cut seven 9 x 7 mm rectangles. 4. If one makes the D-strip out of two pieces then there shouldnt be any gaps left between the pieces. Schematic I made...

Was looking for this sort of info. Bought a used Asus rog strix 3070 oc and I want to replace the thermal pads and paste. For the paste I ordered Noctua NT-H2 and for the pads think Ill get something from gelid ... since they have 2.5mm ones. Before I buy the pads can anyone confirm that these thicknesses work?

While looking up on how to update bios (gigabyte B760m ds3h ax ddr4) I noticed that there is a list of drivers (audio, chipset, lan, sata raid/achi, vga, wlan+bt) on the website. Should I update all of them?

Thanks

Currently building a pc Intel i5-13500 Gigabyte B760M DS3H AX DDR4 Kingston Fury Beast 2x16GB 3200MHz CL16 Samsung 980 PRO 2TB ...and the plan was to look for a used 1080ti (ASUS, MSI, EVGA). Problem in my head: the mobo and the m.2 ssd are PCIe 4.0 but the 1080ti is PCIe 3.0. Will the GPUs last gen PCIe change the speed at which the M.2 ssd has to operate? ...or am I overthinking it?

I am looking for a new headset and I´ve found the Logitech G430 , HyperX Cloud II and the Steelseries Siberia V3. Which should I buy? Does the Siberia V3 have 7.1 surround sound?

I think that 60% keyboard is the best choice for me, because I like to move my mouse. The numpad and arrow keys are in my way (I can't 360 noscope, because of numpad).Let's be honest, who uses all the 104 keys, not a lot of people. But on a 60% keyboard you have all the keys you're actually going to use.
