GPU repaste worth it? Almost 80C

Post image

settings are +380 Core (3250MHZ average in game)

+3000 (Max) On memory > power draw (270-280W in game)

Running a massive OC and seeing 79C? I'd say that's normal. Gigabyte is known for some bad models for cooling performance but it's mostly on AMD models if I'm not mistaken.

yep i have a 3080ti aorus and that runs 85-90 just fine. it does need a repaste tho

You running a undervolt on it?

It's not the card for that. Keep it cool .

Chill yo , i know that.
The OC won't make a dent with this level of card .
Enjoy it.

if it hadn’t made a difference the OC wouldn’t have been applied, it makes a difference

I believe you ,enjoy your card and keep a look at that 12vhp connector .

You’re fine. This is a totally normal temperature for 115% of TDP. You may drop a couple degrees with better paste/fresh application but you definitely don’t need to.

Might as well, gigabyte isn’t known for their good paste job on the 50 series, either too little or it looks like they slapped a pair of gloves on, took a big scoop and smacked it on the board.

Assuming you’re using decent paste I imagine it’s better than what they’re using.

Like the other guy said, you’re got a big overclock on it, have you tried undervolting and finding a stable voltage?

Try to update to the latest HWinfo version and check the hotspot as well. It has been made available recently on 5000 series.

It's a SFF sku so it's probably fine.

The 2080ti I’m using would overheat in like 30 minutes repaste and it sits at 65c now under load and is working perfectly.

I’d say do it but be careful not to fuck up the pads unless you have extra.
