Thoughts on my 3090 memory temperatures?

I've mined a bit of ETH on my 3090 FE, and I even swapped out the stock thermal paste and pads to try and lower temperatures. Right now, I'm running an under-volt on my card with the fan at 70% (for noise purposes) when mining to achieve around 106 MH/s. My memory temperatures hover between 90-94C. Is this a safe temperature for my card to mine in 8-ish hour increments? I'm not mining every day either...mostly just days I'm working at home. I just want to get your thoughts on these temps. I don't want to kill my card prematurely.

Yes, 90-94C is quite good actually. I wouldn't worry about it.

around 106 MH/s.

this is on the low side for a 3090, it should be capable of 120MH/s if not throttling

my MSI 3090 does 126MH/s

that's very low for a 3090, not bad

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

I think if I ran it at stock speeds (full fan, full voltage, etc.) then I could get it up to the 120 range. But my memory would also be sitting around 110C.

i power limited it to ~314W, memory +1500 (capped) on msi afterburner, fan 100%

VRAM temp is 108-110c

I find that using the nicehash OC tune tool is the best way to go about it, fire up nicehash and run the auto tune tool and find your optimal core for speed and let it configure your OC/UC then stop nicehash and fire up an eth miner and let it use those settings.  Max OC or stock settings are often wasteful on power and often have lower hashes than underclocking
