3080 Replaced Thermal Pads now low ETH hasrate

It depends on power usage, with an offset you will always use all the power till the PL that you have set for the card (if you set PL of 250W, then the card will use 250W)

With an absolute clock, even if your PL is higher, the card will only use enough power to keep itself at the parameters you set ( I set the PL to 250W but my card only runs at 243W)

See what works best for you, and the best parameter to check is the energy efficiency achieved with your clocks, I run my 3080 somewhere around 410kH/W

I got my cards fixed! I used extreme odyssey pads. For my zotac trinity I used 2mm on the back plate, and 1mm for the radiator side. I used thermal grizzly kryonaut paste on the chip. Currently running at 48c using -200 core 2200 memory 240w getting 102.6MH/s. It took me around 4 goes to find the magical combo. Good luck.
