    ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC

    Lock the GPU in P8 (lowest state) and all is fine. If you need the power of the GPU, you can add the process to 3D Mode. I use MDPS since I had a GTX 260 :peace:

    Ref. to Post #155 Try it or let it be. I'm using the multi display power save since years. Why? Because the power management from nvidia with a multi monitor setup is bad, and the card clocks higher than it should.

    With the integrated nvidia display power saver, you can force the GPU to stay in P8 (lowest power state). I tested it with Furmark. In P8, my 3080 draws only max. 48W. No, you cant set a new Power Draw limit with NV Inspector. Its in the BIOS and since "Pascal", the BIOS is encrypted. The 100W...

    There u have it. Wallpaper Engine triggers the GPU as a 3D application. Years ago, i had this problem too. Try https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/nvidia-inspector-download.html and use the nVidia Display Power Saver. You can force P8 with no problem on ampere ;)

    Try to disconnect two monitors and then take a look at the power draw. Connect one more and look again. I think the three monitors are to problem.

    The problem is your Board Power draw. The new "Fan-Off" threshold is 50W. Before it was only 30W. Dont know why your 3090 draw alomst 80W in idle mode.... Are you in performance/OC or Quiet BIOS? My 3080 draws ~30-35W in idle with the quiet BIOS (one 170Hz and one 144Hz monitor connected)

    The risk is low if since we have a dual bios. If the flash process goes wrong, switch to the second, boot into windows, switch the bios again and reflash the defect with the original. And about the warranty... if you would RMA the card, and on both BIOS slots is the original BIOS, they can tell...

    Not even temporarily. A second screen is unusable with this BIOS.

    Do Palit and ASUS have the same board design? If not. is that no a bit to risky? EDIT: I flashed it. Fans are off. BUT second monitor is not recognized on the second DP. Only on the first and third one. And the second screen has now a yellowish tint.

    ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 TUF Gaming OC

    One of the stuff from hardwareluxx.de contacted also one from ASUS directly. The problem is, that the ASUS card use not the GPU Temp. for the fans, no, they use the board power draw. ASUS use 30W as threshold. Other use 50W (inno3D). Hes guessing, that we get a BIOS update with a new threshold...

    I tried that on my test system (x470-F with a Ryzen 3 3200G) on a fresh an clean Win10, only with the nVidia driver. Fans wont turn off. In a German forum, some wrote, that the fans turn off under Linux, but not on Windows
