Good evening, I am hoping someone can help with me an issue I'm having that has me at my wits end on what I can possibly to do get the Vram temps of my Zotac Trinity 3090 under control. (As I'm at work I'm limited for info I can provide but here goes)
In the hopes of getting my Zotac temps down I have followed various write ups and completed the following mods:
1) Deshrouding.
2) Adding 2x120mm Noctua AF fans
3) Changing thermal pads - Fujipoly 2mm
4) New thermal paste - MX4
5) Take side panel off
I first used NiceHash (simple to use) and my temps crept over 102 no matter what settings (light/medium/extreme). I was using via MSI Afterburner as well. Originally the fans were plugged into a 4pin motherboard header however I have since picked up a VGA to PWM cable so the two fans are linked together via a splitter and plugged into the graphics card.
Nicehash seemed to always override the fan curve of MSI Afterburner so I switched to T-Rex miner and was able to have the fans blow at 100% continuously. Through some MSI Afterburner tweaking I was able to get a 92-94 temp but only pushing out 80 megahash.
For MSI Afterburner settings I was using various ones located through reddit and youtube as I'm not too savy with overclocking/undervolting.
My setup is:
Motherboard: Auros Z370 gaming 7
CPU: Intel I7-8700K (not yet overclocked)
CPU Cooler: BeQuiet DarkRock 4
GPU: Zotac Trinity 3090
Ram: 16GB G.Skill Tridentz
PSU: Corsair HX1200W
Case: BeQuiet case w/3 front fans, 3 top fans, 1 exhaust fan
In the near future I would like to get a dedicated mining rig rather than trying to use my gaming PC but first I'd like to get the card working as it should so I know I should invest in a small mining rig ( I have two other graphics cards for mining so a mining rig will be required down the line ).
I would appreciate any and all help/suggestions. Thank you for your time in advance.
