Title: How can I fix this problem
Post by: Pterosaur on April 04, 2022, 04:50:27 AM
What is the best thermal grease for GPU and PAD? I have a 3080s that won't stop heating up, I had to stop mining when the miner shows that the memory temp is up to 102°C, I heard this temp isn't safe for GPU.

I've watched many videos about this on YouTube and I found out that Grizzly kryonaut and Gelid extreme thermal pads are the best, when it comes to cooling components it's better to buy the most costly parts, either pad or paste.

See I am personally not into mining and don't have the idea about it but you could ask your doubt here  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=14.0) for having really better options from the miners themselves.They use lot of stuff to cool down the temperature because mining generates lot of heat and if proper cooling is not maintained it could heat up the parts and damage them.

The thermal grease is sometimes pre-applied on devices to automatically cool them but it's not according to the mining process and you also need to change them from time to time as they got consumed with time and heat from the device.

You can check this site which can help you with links to buy them online: Thermal grease  (https://www.wepc.com/reviews/best-thermal-paste/)

Or you can check this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3570906.20

You are mining which coin by the way?

Prolimatech PK3 nano is the most premium of them all followed by Grizzly kryonaut, 3080s aren't easy to cool some videos on YouTube shows that people are modding with copper plate instead, there is a website called coolmygpu.com you can buy from this store.

Thermalright Odyssey Thermal Pad works best for me, I've changed my 3070ti and 3080s thermal pad with Thermalright Pad and I quickly noticed a big change compared to those cheap pads on Aliexpress, whatever you do don't buy pads under 10$ range.

There is one thing I've learned when buying paste and pads for graphic cards cooling, do not buy cheap products they will have worse performance, even stock pads and paste will perform better, and stay away from Chinese pads and pastes.
