    Many members of the PC community have started to notice a glaring issue with their RTX 3080 and 3090 series cards - excessive vRAM temperatures. Fortunately, the boys over at EKWB have cooked up an interesting solution to the problem with their own actively watercooled backplate. Let's see if it fixes NVIDIA's mistake!

    Honestly kudos to EK for making an accessory for a card that is more rare than an endangered species

    I got an MSI RTX 3090 gaming trio a few months back (for the purpose of speeding up 3D renders in Blender) and at some point, it just started black screen crashing my system, after about 2 weeks (and an extremely long list of trail and error fixes, none of which worked) I decided to RMA the card, the company that sold it to me sent it back saying they couldn't replicate the issue. Now, seeing this video from Linus I'm thinking of trying this … pretty shoddy Nvidia, Especially for such an expensive card. Thanks for your help, Linus and team!

    "There's more than one way to skin a cat. Sorry about that, PETA. I live in Florida, the land of heat. My gamer room is 8' x 12' with one window. I installed a 12,000 BTU AC in the window to keep my room cool. The thermostat is set at 68 degrees. My PC never gets over 50 degrees, even on the hottest days. Since my wife likes 75 degrees, I shut my door. Happy wife, happy gamer.

    The 3080ti leaks have pretty much confirmed that it exists but Linus saying stay tuned for our review of the 3080ti is the most solid evidence I've seen yet.

    They did this in order to counter KFC’s gaming console. They didn’t want to miss out on cooking, especially non-existing things that came out of an oven.

    Great video as always Linus, but you should have included temp results, with a fan blowing directly at the original GPU backplate :)

    As part of my absolutely no water PC, i've taken some heatsinks and stuck them to the back of my 3080. Replaced all the thermal pads and the thermal paste. Put it all in a Tower 100 case and sat that ontop of the cooling laptop stand for my old laptop. Works pretty dang well.

    That topic is already 6 months old. Cheapest solution is to replace all pads with good ones (~12-15w/mK). Eth Mining 110 -> 96 degrees, roughly 40€ (germany). Second cheapest Solution is to built a custom loop with waterblock and stock pads (130€ for the block itself). Around 90-94 degrees. Replacing pads under the waterblock brings it down to 78-84 degrees depending on airflow. Add a passive heatspreader to Backplate (16€) improves again by 10K down to 72 degrees... and then finally you can buy the active backplate cooler, if not satisfied yet ;-) (all done on Nvidia 3090 FE) If needed I can support you guys with pictures
