Wrong RTX 3080 TI?

[Mambobuzzz]

Hi there,

I’ve juste got my self a brand new RTX 3080 TI FE. Mining at stock clocks is hell! GPU Temp reaches 78°C (172,4°F ???), Fans go for 2200rpm. Memory Junction temp goes 90-104. But the worst of all, hashrate is permantly going up and down!

Is this a wrong card? Comparing to my RTX 3060 TI it feels like absolutly wrong :-/

you need to set clocks, stock is fine for gaming, not good for mining.

Hi, ok. But it’s it normal such high temperatures? Sounds REALLY high to me.

[keaton_hiveon]

it shouldnt reach those temps with proper OCs + high fan speeds

Cut the Memory timings in half (2350 to 1175) if using windows.

Thanks guys for answering. Actually it’s all stock clocks…I guess I should RMA…

No, you should lower the OC/clocks. Mining is a constant load, whereas gaming spikes up and down. So stock clocks MIGHT work while gaming, through probably not, but won’t work for mining. It’s not a defect in the GPU.

Ok, i’ll do that. Thanks guys!
