RTX 3080 hashrate drop list

[666mrga999]

I have 2 Gamerock cards, one does 104MHs stable other can do only 100MHs stable.
I have fans set to 55% and power limited to 200W. Less power means less heat.

How many days you mining with this cards?

I've been mining with Gamerocks for 2 weeks now, trouble free, more stable than evga. I am thinking of putting heatsinks from Bitmains old ASIC miners to the back plate, to cool the memory for longevity.

I just bought a 3080 Gaming X

I use MSI Afterburner to control core/mem/volt, but seem like this app can not handle this card well:

- Can't monitor voltage: always display 0mv
- If I add >150 to mem, the core immediately drop to 930mhz

I use lastest driver (457.30). What should I do? I want to fix core/mem/volt at 1350/10000/725mv, are there an app that allow me to manual OC core/mem/volt?

Now running stable at 1350/9250/725mv @ 87.4MH

Looks like you have voltage control locked. Have you unlocked it on MSI Afterburner settings?

I have this same issue and been looking all over the interwebz with no chance to a fix . Anyone figured this out ? I checked with hwinfo and it seems to not be thermal throttling .

Can’t unlock voltage control with msi afterburner even after enabling it its still not available .

You can't just use 60% Power Limit and expect it to work.  Some brands require up to 70% to hit the magical hash to watt ratio.  Also switch to linux its much easier.

I’ve tried at 70-80-90-100% PL and same result all the time . Only time i see any effects from the PL is below 60% which makes the hashrate drop .

Don’t know how to linux and this is ny gaming PC .

MSI AfterBurner 4.6.2 is too old, get the latest Beta for the RTX 30x0 cards.

These cards need to be kept cool to get the most out of them.

Memory wise yes, core seems okay for most algos on intensive mining.

Red Panda miner has a youtube vid on changing memory  thermal pads on a brand new Gigabyte 3080 and that resolved the problem he had with the card throttling.

The gaming X doesnt seem to be suffering from thermal throttling cause it won’t even get enough power to get there . Also theres a butt load of thermal pads between the board and backplate .

I got the msi afternurner and even with maxing out the core voltage the card refuses to go above 88mhs . Soon as the memory goes over +400 the base clock drops to 940 and so does the hashing .

Right now when mining card is never above 45C

It's not the GPU core, it's the memory that's the issue, it's getting too hot.
Need to feed the card cold air to cool those memory chips down, not the GPU core.

The temp your seeing is for the GPU core at 45C, the memory will be in the 75C + range which is too hot, the card will throttle down based on this.

This image was taken from EVGA's overclock util, the card used here (RTX 3080 from EVGA) for this has the 9 extra sensors for the memory and VRM's.
See how hot the memory chips are above the GPU core and the lower right memory chip.  This is the cause of the cards throttling down.

In red panda’s video hwinfo shows temperature thermal limit :yes . When i run my card it shows no but power limit shows yes thats why i’m thinking its not a thermal issue ?

Could it still be thermal throttling even tho hwinfo doesnt pick it up ?

Today i added 4 of those corsair fans that blow 75 cfm . 3 as intake and 1 as exhaust +
I added an old fan has exhaust outside my case right in front of both cards

Still not going above 89-90 mhs .

Red panda’s card had no thermal pads between the board and the backplate but the gaming X does so what tha hell am i suppose to do if its a thermal throttling issue .

Add antminers fans lol ?

Pull the back plate and fan the fuck out of it?

[Seph213]

Pull the back plate and fan the fuck out of it?

And void my warranty for 10mh ? Not very appealing . Right now i’m just pist i got the gaming trio cause prior to buying general consensus was that these cards were safe from issues .

Should of went for an evga ftw3 or the asus tuf . I’ve always seen good results from evga’s when it comes to OC for mining .

@Seph213

Is the GPU connected to the motherboard inside a case or is the GPU out in the open on a riser ?

I'm curious.

So, to be clear:
1.) GPU-Z doesn't indicate it's thermal throttling.
2.) Setting the fan on auto --- what fan speeds do you get?
3.) Can't unlock voltage monitoring
4.) What MSI AB version are you running?
5.) Nvidia driver version?

I'm sorry if I'm being noob here, but as far as I know, don't these GDDR6s memories runs good and normally until 105c?

I have a Gigabyte and MSI cards, 5700xt and 5700, both runs at 90c on memories, and it's very hard to reduce to less than 90c, but runs smooth and normal  without any problem
I already see on some websites about safe temps is below 105c and above 120c GDDR6X chips can suffer damage

I'm waiting my EVGA 3080 black edition, and want to learn more about these new memories and GPUs

Can you clarify for us?
Thanks  

[Cryptomining2003]

there´s already AB version 4.7.0 beta, try this one with newest driver to unlock all settings

105c factory set clocks yes, 105c overclock or bios settings no, reason when it throttles it goes back to factory set clocks or very close to factory set clocks to contain the heat.

You trolls need to understand that manufactures dont care about you complaining about throttling, they care when shit happens and you need to rma it to them. However the funny thing is that they dont want you to rma the gpu when shit happens but they dont care when they say you can overlock to hell with them hehe, deceptive marketing but they dont care about lying to you trolls too hehe, and if you help yourself to solve your problem then they say the warranty was void ehhe, perfect, which makes us think that they might do this intentional.

Got a link to that ?

The 3080 is directly to the motherboard on the pcie 16x in my pc case. I got it for gaming but since 90% of the time my pc is idle i figured i’ll make it work for some eth .

1.) i’m using hwinfo and its not showing me thermal temp limit reach. It does show me power limit reached tho. Not sure how to see thermal throttling with gpu-z . I’ll look at it if u show me where to check

2.) fan is set to auto. Temp is at 45-48c with fan usually being around 60-70% . Just added some 120mm magnetic corsair fan so inside the case is very cool. Oh and i have a fan outside my case right in front of the card to push out any hot air.

3-4.) i downloaded the MSI AB 4.6.3 beta and was able to have the core volt enable but even with that maxed out the card still throttles .

5.) nvidia driver 460.89 the latest .
