what front panel do you have on it.. the Tempered glass, or the Mesh?

Mesh

Seems fine to me.

The idle temps are high, but that’s probably a fan curve thing.

pr maybe the fans are just off due to a smart fan thingy

It is off, shows 0% on msi afterburner, should I trun them on?

According to EVGA's website the fans only turn on at 55C, so it's by design.

 

Is the Card clocking down in idle (to ~210Mhz) or is it running at full speed? 

If it does clock down than the temps seem to high, maybe bad airflow could explain it .

SO dont worry about it. Let it do its think

I have a H500M and it has a 3090 in it that runs about 10c cooler than yours.

It is configured like this.

 

I have a CM H500P Mesh with an EVGA  XC3 Ultra 3080 ti and it was ok with a 2080 ti but with the 3080 ti I had to add a 60mm fan below the GPU to get the temps in the 70s stock.

I Also have a Corsair 5000D and it was a total fail with a MSI Gaming X Trio. A 60mm exhaust fan like I used on the H500P did nothing in this case so I replaced it with a Lian Li O11 Dynamic.  The Lian Li O11 Dynamic has the 3080 ti in the 70s. This case has the best setup to cool a high end 30 series card.

 

My 3080 is in a CM H500 ARGB and it stays cool probably because of the Noctua nh-d15 right beside it.

 

If you are a MSI Afterburner user this works.

putting a fan under the card would it be possible in this case, if yes is it worth it? Also, what is the ideal rpm for the front giant fans to cool the system? 

[jones177]

I did not need it for the H500M but the H500P Mesh got one and it looked like this. It is a Noctua NF-A6x25.

In afterburner click the settings tab then fan profile then click the enable custom fan profile and use the one already set up in the drop down menu that idles at 40 percent and ramps up

The EVGA FTW3 3080 is a dual bios card. There should be a switch on the card (left of the PCIe power connectors). Switch that to OC now your fans should spin all the time even in idle. That also makes them spin faster during load which should decrease your temps.

I would say 100% when full gpu load.

 

3080 is another card that has over 20W in multi-monitor idle. Temps will go up on passive mode unless you have good case ventilation.

what is your idle and gaming temps after putting that kitten in there:)

It idles at 41c

At stock the fans on the EVGA XC3 Ultra don't come on until the GPU hits 62c and switch off at 50c so after a game or bench it takes forever for it to get back to idle.

By contrast my ASUS ROG Strix 3080 OCs fan come on as soon as I start a bench and stay on until the GPU hits 30c. So below idle. 

 

RDR 2 at 4k 77c

SOTTR at 1080p 75c

 

It is in the 80s without it.
