Hi,
This is my 1st post... I will do it in English, weil ich die Technische Nammen in Deutsch nicht verstehe.
I suppose some you are getting some loss of perfomance while mining...
All this problem is because Memory is in near Temp Junction, as Igor informs as with his article. That's the big problem.
I have Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC. I was seen that the Fans goes up to 100% in Windows 10 and HiveOS in Auto. Fan.. I was thinking drivers Problem, because the GPU temp was perfect... 55C-57C... or that my GPU was witha defect.
Making some Benchmarks in Windows without any MSI Afterburner or Aourus Engine the fan was OK... so the card should by OK, but when I put a miner and FAN 100%...
After all this information I found the problem... I see that reducing the memory speed the fan was staying under 70% automaticly... only a little downclock of -500Mhz,
So after that I decided to open the card, because with Gigabyte you don't loose Garantie and I make a Thermal Pad Mod too with the backplate. I haven't found any FLIR image of the Gigabyte so I decided to try with Igors Image and some other Photos of other articles and it always seems to be 2-3 grads more top left of the GPU (Backplate Side)
So I opened my Gigabyte to check that all memory pads where ok, and I found 1 of them was only covering 85%, I changed and I decided to put Thermal Pads in Backplate... I did with shit Thermal Pads I haven't got good ones yet... ( I have ordered now), the space in Gigabyte is 2.7mm
After that Thermal Mod... No more 100% Fans... And I don't need to lower Memory and I can push it high without arriving to 100% Fans.
In my opinion, the Bios is checking the Memory Temp and increase Fans Speed at least in Gigabyte Fans Auto Curve. So you can have a perfect GPU Temp but the Memory is getting to hot... I don't know if other cards are doing this check, I hope so.
I have added a Screen of my MSI... In the Green I push the Memory and Automaticly the Fans goes UP... In the Red I return to previos Memory and Fans go Down. I hope that could help someone to modify his GPU to reduced Temp in Mem too. It is true that Mining is goes of the largest load in Memory is all time 100%... comparing to games.
Many thanks, Vielen Dank
