MSI gaming x trio 3080 vram temps

[Jnys]

Card is three years old. Haven't paid attention to the vram temps before so idk if this is a new problem or always have been like this. Everything online is a little fuzzy so i wanted to ask here if these are ok temps or not and if they arent what can i do to fix it?

Its not great, but its still within spec of the cooler.

Any way to fix it? Heard of swapping the thermal pads but basically no info on what thickness to use etc,

Thermal pad swapping pretty much never works unless you get the EXACT right pad, and for most people that is far beyond what they are willing to look up if its even available properly. Gaming X Trio is a common one so the details should be findable.

 

Other then that its more then likely down to the VRM cooler design rather then just pads, they tend not to breakdown until the card is taken apart in certain manners.

i'd say the most common self-brick on gpus has to be thermal pad swapping, it's not worth the risk.

 

i'd try to keep the vram under 95C

 

You can undervolt and overclock your card to lower temps without losing performance.

yep, 0.85 or 0.9v 1845 is a good starting point, some cards go up to 1950 but it's rare. it'll likely be faster and cooler than what ur running now

Followed a video from optimum, Card goes to 1890 mhz with 0.85 mv. Memory never hotter then 90 celcius. Don't really have a clue about how to do it so i just followed a video and set it and forget it. Could probably get it to 1925 mhz or something like that but realistically it won't make a difference during real world use.
