Hello, i recently bought used RTX3080. Like every time i buy used gpu, i replaced thermal pads and paste (PTM Honeywell on the core and uprisen thermal pads from aliexpress), and i was not satisfied with the results. The GPU started to become pretty hot on the memory, so i thought that the pads are bad quality. I checked the thickness og the thermal pads, but different sources stated different thicknesses, it was withing 0,25mm margin error. So, i ordered a thermal putty, also from aliexpress- CX H1300, 50 grams. I used all of it on the gpu, it was a litthe dry. I did not replace the backplate thermal pads, and the result is th same as earlier. I dont think that replacing backplate thermal pads can give me much better results, but maybe i am in the wrong. Could there be another reason to why this card heats up so much on the memory? Can you share some photos or tips on how to correctly put thermal putty on this gpu?

I think thats the hottest chip, i dont know about hwmonitor but every app ( except furmark ) shows the hottest that would be the closest the pcie. furmark shows a average for me ( Zotac RTX 3080 Trinity ) the average in furmark is 77 to 80 and the hottest is 88 to 90 with the normal fan curve
the memory chips on my 3080 FE (completely stock) run really hot, think this is just normal.
Bruh my gpu never goes above 220w evga model all u need to do is leave stock power limit and set whole frequency curve -200 and move one dot in evga APP 0.862v up to 1853 MHz
I bet it will work no problem and u will have same performance with 20c Cooper gpu a have this settings plus 1300 on memory working like a charm … My gpu tempa are around 55-63C and memory i low 70
Same story in MSI AB but i prefer evga APP BC ITS doing what it have to do and uses almost zero resources
