Unable to properly set power limit of MSI RTX 3080

[Phk]

MSI 3080 Gaming X - PL locked at 209W

If you look in windows HWInfo you can see that one of the 8pins is pulling 100% 150W and that is the limiting factor. The Suprim X bios can negate it IN Windows with an increased limit making it possible to draw like 160W from this pin and get proper ~100MH/s. Unfortunately, it does not work in HiveOS. In HiveOS I and some other users found out that you can flash other bios like EVGA FTW or Gigabyte Aorus Xtreme and the card is capable of hashing normally. It will mess up sensor readings tho. M…

Basically the same as I said. Works OK with EVGA bios, but its strange that why it pulls most of the power from #1 8-pin. I noticed this behavior too. With my Strix, load is split nicely between the 3x8 pins. Maybe improper VRM design. Maybe memory chips use the #1 8-pin and when you push them hard it hits the limit. That would explains the power limit thing.

Successfully raise the hashrate to 100 on the MSI Gaming X Trio?

Use EVGA XC3 bios as you can read in the topic.

I’m trying, and I have switched VBIOSes a few times, but currently I’m having a hang in the process.

It stays forever like this:

Any ideas on what it might be ? Thanks

any ideas on how i can make this more efficient seems like its stuck at 30-35 dollars a day profit

i can confirm that Asus rog strix 3080 oc bios works perfect, watt usage is misleading.
can go all way up to 105mh on hiveos, can still touch the backplate

Asus RTX 3080 VBIOS

Suprim doesn’t have the powersensors bug. Just pad it and enjoy

I have a MSI 3080 gaming x trio with changed thermal pads and thermal paste and I managed to only reach 100.30 MH/s on T-rex not sure if im able to reach higher let me know what you guys think.
Current version: latest

My current afterburner settings:
PL: 102% (anything lower card becomes unstable and PL triggers on Hwinfo
Core clock: 1260-1350
Mem: 1250
Fans: 85%
Core temp: 40-42C
Mem temps: 70-74C
Closed Case with AC on

T-rex showing 228W anything lower or higher drops MH/s

dostum selam senin problem ney ben windows 10 da 101 mh/s alabiliyorken hive os da 85i geçmiyor ve voltaj düşüyor termal padları değiştirmeme rağmen

[Onur_Can_Stln]

msı xtrio rtx 3080 e asus strix bios yazdık hiveos 100 mh alıyor pedler değişti 17,5 kwh dragon
oda sıcaklığı 25 derece 70 fanda 44 derece / 100 mh ama hiveos da asus olarak gözüküyor

[anon98704833]

Same problem for me, on Windows with supprimx bios 101.80mhs with 110% PL, 225w

On hiveos 94mhs, 207w

When I check force p0 case, all the rig crash (T-Rex miner Say "cooldown etc…)

I changed the BIOS with EVGA, FTW3 ULTRA HYBRID LHR, I reached 102mh / s, it works 6 degrees warmer
