I’ve been playing with undervolting the past few days and it works like a charm with this card. At 1905Mhz and 0.900V I’m seeing 7C less temperatures and 200 rpm less on the fans for the exact same performance.
Ive also got mine at 900mv at 1905MHz +1000 on the memory and with a custom fan curve in after burner I went from like 85 degree temps to a max of 76 degrees running 100 less average watts as well. Undervolting is a must with how hot these RTX 30 series cards get lol
me too, I was hesitant to undervolt my ftw3 3090. But I did it and it was the best thing ever. Temps dropped from 77 to 67c and -300 RPM. so it runs quieter and cooler. 1875Mhz at 875mV for 4K120hz , and 1890Mhz 900mV for 1440p144hz.
I recently bought a new ftw3 3080ti. I just took it apart and added the cool my gpu copper plate and also replaced the remaining pads with kritcal pads and used mx 4 paste. The original paste was pretty poor and dry, the thermal pads and putty were ok but the paste was very poor. Looking forward to trying it in my new build. Thanks for sharing.
buddy, i am in the process of doing the same thing. I am buying 1 mm gelid extreme pads and 2 mm extreme pads, as well as the mx 4 paste. did you end up doing it? any results?
@@rt3rog I did it awhile ago, it's not difficult just be sure to take your time. I haven't built my new pc yet, about to, waiting on some 3d printed intakes i ordered from etsy then the fun begins. My 3080ti is new so I can't compare old results. I wanted to do it from all the reviews I've read on how hot these cards run and for the price i want it to last a good long time. I was surprised my gpu was new and the paste was so dry and poorly put on. It should run nice n cool now fingers 🤞! Best of luck with your install!
Your GPU hot spot temperature seems lower. However the maximum core voltage is lower to the initial test. I suggest that you check clock speed vs previous test as well. Thanks for the video.
At 9:10 I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of why marginally higher temps on thicker paste is better than a thinner paste like Kryonaut. I did the same knowing that in a years time I’ll need to open it up again and re-apply the Kryonaut. For that reason, I think next time I’d use thicker Hydronaut and live with then 1-2 degree difference.
he smothered it with paste which actually did a bit more harm than good (not super harm but still harm) and it would probably trigger you more to know a simple precision x download and firmware update fixes thermals. I just got mine today and will be doing that not this.
@@housebaelishgaming I've actually had this card for about a year now, and yea I upgraded fw using evga precision. it's a beast, so enjoy! Out of the box there's nothing wrong with thermals that fw upgrade "fixes", this guy is just dumb.
I just repasted my 3080ti (also evga). I wish you showed how dam hard it was to take the cooler off. it felt like I forgot to take out a screw... but no, all the thermal pads, plus the thermal putty being hardened and squished between components, glued the dam thing together. You cut the video probably because you thought prying at it looked bad, but I wish I saw you struggle with it so I didn't feel like a crazy person risking breaking the card. I had to scrape out all the dried out putty because it was so dry it crumbled away. I did zero overclocking on a 3 year old card and the paste and putty was wrecked.
Spreading thermal paste as much as possible with a GPU is recommended since they don't have IHS or heat spreading like It's found on CPU. And when cleaning the Chip make sure not to use papertowels if you are not confi with it since you can damage your cards or smaller pins around the chip
Glad I found your channel man, love your editing on the tear down and paste reapplication. I bought this card out of desperation, and because I’ve waited too long ever since graduating and working lol. So this card for me runs extremely hot, I’m talking about 80+ degrees at only 60-70% usage. For reference, I’m running ultra/insane settings on gears 5, CAPPED at 144fps @ 1080p…. I was able to achieve a steady undervolt of 1965Mhz @ 1000mV, don’t want to deal with artifacts, especially at a low resolution (temps began to settle at around 70 degrees). But, this is an insane amount of software effort for settling for typical performance at last gen resolutions and refresh rate….I really shouldn’t be dealing with temps and fan speeds of this caliber, especially for 1080p gaming. Makes me want to consider an RMA with EVGA, but I’m not sure of how that process would prevail given the current market demand. Would you recommend a reapplication of paste at this point? Any suggestions on improving these sort of temps? (halo infinite runs just as sketchy too, even capped at 120 -_-)
bro congrats on the card you deserve it! I have just blew 5k on a cpu build and since this was my first build I RESEARCHED EVERY FRIGGEN LITTLE THING I hope you didn't RMA your card yet but I wanted to tell you to undo the undervolt and download precision x (it's an evga application) update firmware to resolve your heat issue much love
Undervolting is really what you wanna do with this card.. the stock voltage is wayyyyy more than what it needs to be.. I got a stable clock at 1980mhz at .92v.. 68 degrees when stress testing
Yeah I undervolt mines and been doing benchmarks to find the best curve. I’ve never gone over 70c on 5120x1440p and constant 70-75 fps with RT on and everything maxed out
@@dacbiet got a notification for your reply. Random but I was curious have you ever tried to run fortnite with an undervolt? I have my undervolt settings active and every game runs beautifully and the temps are great but as soon as I play Fortnite, a few minutes into a match, I crash. And it doesn’t seem to matter how much I up the voltage the game only runs with the stock OC settings. Am curious if you or anyone else has ran into this with this game or any other game
@@shmokes4728 unfortunately I haven’t tried Fortnite since I don’t play it. But please keep in mind there’s some games that are poorly optimized so Fortnite could be one of it I lowered my clock speed by -280 and under voltage, on 875, I raised it up to 1800mhz or something. I dunno how to properly give out the specs lol
Tony next time you use the plastic aplicator, try to use it at an angle of 160 degree, applying the right pressure. You will see that it is much easier to spread the paste. You have to try the new Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme :)
I gave up trying to spread that stuff. Lol. Just kept sticking to the applicator and was thicker than kryonaut not extreme. I would try to spread it and if the area where I applied it came into contact with the applicator again, it would come off of that area and stick to the applicator.
i wonder if he would've got a better temp drop if he used some kryonaut extreme paste and some kryonaut thermal pads.. but what about that putty tho. what can that be replaced with?
You should really take it back apart and put either new thermal puddy or some thick thermal pads over your chokes. That's what I don't like about this generation of evga cards, they all use that thermal puddy on the chokes and it really sucks to have to clean and re apply.
You can, My 2080 Ti XC Ultra was basically the same...... Waiting for my 3080 Ti FTW3 to arrive and this is the first thing I'm doing before I plug it in.
so i have both 3080ti and 2080ti and 2080ti doesnt get that hot as the 3080ti. 10 deegree less.. i tought my 3080ti has to be cleanned but. 75 deegrees is the regular temperature for it. thanks for the video is amazing, it answered my doubts about my gpu
Brother, I recommend that you change your thermal pads, in the video you only applied thermal paste, your gpu heats many the vram and the other components!
GPU die on rtx3080/Ti and 3090 isn't that hot, it heats up about 74 degrees which is pretty adequate. G6x memory chips, however, tend to heat up to 105 degrees on many cards, and if you want to improve overall temps I would suggest to look for better thermal pads. That is more relevant for rtx 3090 users.
Hello, I see that you did not replace the thermal putty. Is it necessary to change the thermal putty ? Can i use thermal pads instead ? Also, what should the thickness be ?
Make sure to check the four tork screw around the GPU itself. Seeing how there was a generous amount of thermal paste it may have adjusted itself down under heat. Kryonaut requires you to lay the the paddle on a more flat angle to acquire thinner applications. 1gram tube should yield 3 -4 applications, but like you said the only difference it really makes is money spent on tubes of paste, great job.
I have this exact card as well, loving it. I am HARDCORE into Control! I play it with and without DLSS, but I think I like how DLSS on highest quality looks better, and I get ~130 FPS instead of about 78 average. I ahve a pretty heavy OC, +134 on core, +933 on memory via EVGA X1 - been 100% stable, and scores higher than stock, or at lower settings I have tried.
I'm not going to say that you added too much paste, but I will say that you wasted a bit. I recently water blocked this exact GPU with about 1/3 the Kryonaut that you used. Also, I used a credit card to spread it. Makes it a bit easier.
by default in a lian li 011 with 9 fans 6 of which are intake with the lian li fans i get 83c with my 3080ti ftw ultra...and my 3080 was only getting 72 :/
Ftw3 did good job with this 3080 ti makes it specifically the best gaming gpu in 3000 series Highest pl bios even more than some 3090s, great thermal pad and paste. Very good stock cooler And great CS GJ EVGA
Is it normal for the GPU fan to stop spinning when your Pc is on idle, my 3 fans only kick in when I play games or run a heavy benchmark like 3Dfiremark. ( Running a RTX 3080ti EVGA) kinda Weird how it’s able to maintain a 40 to 46 degrees on idle with out the fans spinning, lmk if this is normal or not
I have the 3080 ti ftw3 ultra and it will do that if you run the normal bios. When you are running the OC bios the fans have a set floor of 20% (I think) so mine idles at about 31-33C. Running the normal bios my card will idle at 49-52ish with the fans off. Im running 3 2k 165 hz monitors which makes quite a bit of a difference in idle temps when compared to running a single monitor, at least for me. My card will idle at 37ish watts with 3 monitors and like 23 watts with one.
You wanted to see what it looked like inside? Ever here of photos? Also tests have shown that EVGA has the best contact of their chip and cooler. No way you can ever get the cooler back on with the same precision.
Sorry Tony, i am a really pain in the ass. Last comment, i promise: ). i have the same GPU. Try to use a custom fan profile using Precision X from EVGA. About your case fans..... The bottom ones, are they working as intake? The fans on the AIO radiator -----exhaust? . And the final one. In the back i hope you have an exhaust fan: ).
I'd say the main thing that triggers me are those spatulas. I'm credit card all the way. Been a while, but it seemed like conductonaut is a little rough for a bit and you have to work with it. Still a much less intense experience than the conductonaut.
i have a 3080 ftw3 and at around 100% usage im getting near 90 c with 100% fan speed. ive done all the software troubleshooting. is it a sign to replace thermal paste (I just got the gpu today)
My 3080ti Ftw3 runs about the same temp. my fans are at 70% when card reaches 70c and it typically tops out at about 67c and my fans are set to step up so they're at 60% til it gets to 70c which it never does since I removed the big OC I had and just run it in the stock bios switch. Looks like EVGA beefed up the power delivery big time from the 3080. I don't know if that was due to the 3080s underwhelming PCB or they just used the 3090 but seeing how the 3090 is considerably different, I'd say it's due to the weak 3080 Ftw3 which was a good GPU mostly, mine was, just nothing great as far as the PCB, basically a stretched founders.
"To prevent pump-out" "As you can see there is a ton of thermal paste but thats not too big of an issue csuse it can just seep out the sides" Bro what do you want 😭😭😭😭
Not to bad , I own the same card , a little bit of a butcher job on the paste.....next time use cling wrap on your finger tip ....you can apply the paste so much better and more evenly
so the back plate is just for looks as there is no thermal pads on there to help at all. kinda a waste tbh to not at least have a pad on the back side of the vrm or something
TG Kryonaut has AWLAYS been thick and hard to spread in my experience. Hydronaut is a bit easier to spread - a good bit cheaper, and ALMOST as good, like it rates above MX-4 and all that junk, and lands right near Gelid GC Extreme.
Jesus…that was like The Verge level of thermal paste on there. You sure you got enough on there? Kryo usually needs a bit of pressure to spread nice and thin with their included spatula (I’d also use a lower angle with the spatula when applying). Whatever works though I guess. Like you said, it’s not conductive, so it’s safe. I’m curious what the temps would look like with liquid metal…
@@housebaelishgaming I'd love to check that out, do you know the title of the video they did it in? I watch almost all their stuff, but I guess I somehow missed this one.
I’m considering doing this because my 3080 (Aurus) must have some problem because it hits 87C - 88C during stress tests and it has hit 91C running halo infinite. I just bought it 2 weeks ago… I’ve read online there can be pockets of air between the thermal paste and the sink that cause hot spots. I’ve also had crashes occur completely randomly at temperature as low as 73C. I’d appreciate any comments or thoughts if anyone has them or has experienced something similar.
Try that, and my evga 2080 had really bad thermal paste and was crashing Tarkov all the time after about 6 months. Ended up getting 3080ti FTW3 (which I really regret per my other comment) and took the 2080 apart and changed the paste. The 2080 is going strong with high 60’s temps to low 70’s…most games running maxed @2k no problems..
Thanks for showing us the tear down however you used about 4 times as much thermal compound as you needed... you set out saying you will use a thin amount and put down more than was already on there! Really I hope people watching new to this don't follow this advice, I can see some expensive bricks.
That thermal putty is what's going to screw everyone up long term. It's hard to find and if you do find it it's super expensive. Can't replace it with pads due to the poor spacial tolerances in EVGA's design of the 3080 and 3090. The Hybrid cooler version uses thermal pads, so at least that version of the card will be easily and cheaply serviceable long term.
DO NOT BUY THIS CARD, evga 3080 / ti FTW3, a lot of forum posts of fans not reading right with sensors or just flat out not working as well as making obnoxiously annoying sounds as they turn. Mine started with fan 3 making some sound, they it started to fail, yesturday all fans failed, took it apart, cleaned it, and fans 2 / 3 are working (hardly) temps in high 80’s low 90’s. These cards are legit trash and it bs coming evga considering they use to make really nice products (680’s still work to this day)….
Love this guy but this is stupid to put that much paste on the GPU. It looks like a hot mess you better hope your card never has issues after putting all that fucking paste on a new GPU. Bro there is so many other things you could have did a video on and plus if the manufacturer thought it needed all that fucking paste don’t you think all GPU would have that much paste on them?

Hey I wanted to ask what you did with the LR22 to put it back together after removing the thermal putty? Did you use thermal pads?
he seem to forget that part in general.. if he had a xc3 he would of gain about 3 degree
I have the same Gpu and mine always goes up to 86°
Just undervolt bro, repasting is really unnecessary
@@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree I will. Thank you
My 3080ti Ftw3 runs about the same temp. my fans are at 70% when card reaches 70c and it typically tops out at about 67c and my fans are set to step up so they're at 60% til it gets to 70c which it never does since I removed the big OC I had and just run it in the stock bios switch. Looks like EVGA beefed up the power delivery big time from the 3080. I don't know if that was due to the 3080s underwhelming PCB or they just used the 3090 but seeing how the 3090 is considerably different, I'd say it's due to the weak 3080 Ftw3 which was a good GPU mostly, mine was, just nothing great as far as the PCB, basically a stretched founders.
will it void the warranty?
how are you fitting that chonk into your ghost s1?
Great vid!
"To prevent pump-out"
"As you can see there is a ton of thermal paste but thats not too big of an issue csuse it can just seep out the sides"
Bro what do you want 😭😭😭😭
Dude what the....... why so much thermal
Not to bad , I own the same card , a little bit of a butcher job on the paste.....next time use cling wrap on your finger tip ....you can apply the paste so much better and more evenly
so the back plate is just for looks as there is no thermal pads on there to help at all. kinda a waste tbh to not at least have a pad on the back side of the vrm or something
damn boiiii, that's a thick paste application
Good video👍🏻question for you how can I make my PC into a 4k what would I have to change Graphics card?
Yes a good gpu good cpu and a monitor that supports 4k
TG Kryonaut has AWLAYS been thick and hard to spread in my experience. Hydronaut is a bit easier to spread - a good bit cheaper, and ALMOST as good, like it rates above MX-4 and all that junk, and lands right near Gelid GC Extreme.
1!
Thank you for watching!
Broo you destroyed your thermal pads and didn't replace them... damn
I’ve been doing that damn shuffle for like 2 months now and nothing! lol
What the msrp for this card?1
Jesus…that was like The Verge level of thermal paste on there. You sure you got enough on there? Kryo usually needs a bit of pressure to spread nice and thin with their included spatula (I’d also use a lower angle with the spatula when applying).
Whatever works though I guess. Like you said, it’s not conductive, so it’s safe. I’m curious what the temps would look like with liquid metal…
don't be curious just go check out Gamers nexus I believe they did it
@@housebaelishgaming I'd love to check that out, do you know the title of the video they did it in? I watch almost all their stuff, but I guess I somehow missed this one.
@@BigBear-- wait maybe it was for the Intel 12900k
You put to much paste juicy thermal paste.
A true "verge" episode but with GPU!
🤣 Cringe watching him put way too much thermal paste and not replacing the thermal putty.
Rtx 30 cards are ment to run at higher temp.
I’m considering doing this because my 3080 (Aurus) must have some problem because it hits 87C - 88C during stress tests and it has hit 91C running halo infinite. I just bought it 2 weeks ago… I’ve read online there can be pockets of air between the thermal paste and the sink that cause hot spots. I’ve also had crashes occur completely randomly at temperature as low as 73C.
I’d appreciate any comments or thoughts if anyone has them or has experienced something similar.
Try under volting first
Try that, and my evga 2080 had really bad thermal paste and was crashing Tarkov all the time after about 6 months.
Ended up getting 3080ti FTW3 (which I really regret per my other comment) and took the 2080 apart and changed the paste. The 2080 is going strong with high 60’s temps to low 70’s…most games running maxed @2k no problems..
Wow… the memory temps. stock are good!
In 2 test u dont push gpu at 100% ...prouve it?! Voltage max 1.031 not 1.071 😉👌
Play a couple matches of apex.. idk wtf it is about that game, but both gpus I've had runs hot with that game.
After a month?.....Atleast 6 months before this should be done and thats only if your mining lol
How often should you apply this paste? This makes me a bit anxious lol
Thanks for showing us the tear down however you used about 4 times as much thermal compound as you needed... you set out saying you will use a thin amount and put down more than was already on there! Really I hope people watching new to this don't follow this advice, I can see some expensive bricks.
1 degree. Waste of time. :D
At bro if you get your hands on the Corsair 7000d airflow case can you do a review on temps with the 3080 ti
that's the case I'm using for My 3080ti!
@@housebaelishgaming how’s the temps
@@CaptNemo_ you can't go wrong with it at all their not better than say a lianli evo but their solid I'll get you exact Temps within 2 days
@@housebaelishgaming thx gamer bro
@@CaptNemo_ hell ya
omg 😆 to much “tooth” paste
The verge teardown non hate just why just buy evga hybrid you'll see Temps won't even past 53 lol js tho
Hard to get hybrid cards, but you are telling no lies… the cards keeps temps icy ❄️
i luv u
"How not to reapply thermal paste - EVGA FTW...."
what the fuck kind of paste application is that you just made a new verge video
That thermal putty is what's going to screw everyone up long term. It's hard to find and if you do find it it's super expensive. Can't replace it with pads due to the poor spacial tolerances in EVGA's design of the 3080 and 3090. The Hybrid cooler version uses thermal pads, so at least that version of the card will be easily and cheaply serviceable long term.
Yep. When I got the card I said “WHY did Evga do this!?” I’m probably going to buy a hybrid kit.
I would rather apply too much paste than not enough.
That was beyond "too much thermal paste", that may have been the most paste I have ever seen used :P
1:08
lol WAY too much thermal paste, most of that would have squished out once it was compressed.
DO NOT BUY THIS CARD, evga 3080 / ti FTW3, a lot of forum posts of fans not reading right with sensors or just flat out not working as well as making obnoxiously annoying sounds as they turn.
Mine started with fan 3 making some sound, they it started to fail, yesturday all fans failed, took it apart, cleaned it, and fans 2 / 3 are working (hardly) temps in high 80’s low 90’s.
These cards are legit trash and it bs coming evga considering they use to make really nice products (680’s still work to this day)….
Too much paste!
Maybe fresh thermal paste and not old dried out shitn
Love this guy but this is stupid to put that much paste on the GPU. It looks like a hot mess you better hope your card never has issues after putting all that fucking paste on a new GPU. Bro there is so many other things you could have did a video on and plus if the manufacturer thought it needed all that fucking paste don’t you think all GPU would have that much paste on them?
a firmware update would have solved it through precision x it fixes the heat issues -_-
Hey I know you have a evga 3080ti there but would you consider trading it for a zotac 3070ti
