Maybe, but Nvidia will not sell those FE cards for long I guess. So this makes the audience for this even smaller in a few month.

The point is, I ordered my 3090 FE Special Edition block from them back in January. Back then I would've loved to get a silver block with a silver backplate. That was not possible. They are shipping my block as of now, just one day later they announce that you can have a different backplate with...

The Block for the FE from EKWB does include a backplate! Only the included backplate has the opposite color (silver on the black version and vice versa). So to get a fully monochromatic look, you now can buy the backplate in the color of your block as well. But you're right, those prices are...

Where in the EVGA Precision X1 tool can you toggle reBAR on and off? It shows you if it is enabled, sure. But toggling?

That is looking good. 90C is fine. The 3080 has the benefit of only having its RAM on one side and thus RAM can be cooled efficiently with the cooler. The 3090 however with its RAM on the backside only "cooled" passively by a thin backplate is a whole other story.

Well, GPU temp is only half the truth, because this is probably the package temperature from the GPU itself. Try opening HWiNFO64 and look out for "GPU Memory Junction Temperature" while running your games (or just try touching the backplate of your GPU for more than 2 seconds). :D I'm very...

This is about memory temps. No way your 3080 runs its memory at 24C, even at idle with 22C ambient. Well, they produce 2-slot, 3-slot, heck even 4-slot GPUs now. They could at least release a model which has it's PCB in the middle of those 3 or 4 slots instead of on one side. Then there is...

I was going to say about the same thing. But those copper cooling plates are nice, where do you get those?

I feel you. Too bad I have a 3090 FE and this only works on the reference model. I'm very curious on how their special edition block works with the hybrid backplate. But I guess an active backplate indeed is needed. RAM gets to over 100°C during gaming and this is while having a 120mm Delta fan...

What makes you think the 3090FE is the only one worth buying? This card gets so damn hot, even with light load. The Backplate hits 80+C easily, which means VRAM on the back of the PCB gets roasted with 100+C. I have this card in a very spacious case (CaseLabs TH10A) with everything around this...

From time to time they tease us... Same as yesterday. They magically say it is available, but hitting the buy button does nothing more than saying 'Redirecting to our fulfillment partner.' but never actually redirecting. I'll bet they have some serious problems on their website and trying to...

Is this dual 8-pin power at the back? That would be great!

I just re-run it for the sake of getting the baseline straight. Without PBO at full stock settings, the voltage settles at 1.312-1.344V (SVI2) under full load (Prime95 128K FFTs AVX 48 threads) with clocks around 4120MHz. With PBO enabled, voltage is mostly 1.381V with dips occasionally to...

The 3960X already has 280W TDP @stock. So the default PPT must be somewhat north of 300 @stock either. To do a proper OC, raising PPT above that is necessary I guess.

Does anyone know what the max PPT/EDC/TDC limits are in CTR? ...and also how to change them? Just doing binary search trial-and-error and figured it must be: 400W PPT 450A EDC 300A TDC But sometimes hacking in different values for TDC results in a "PPT too high!" error, although I havn't...
