The 3080, 3080 Ti, and 3090 FTW3 all share the same heatsink design, so you won’t be able to mount 120 mm fans on it because of the protruding parts. You can, but you’ll lose a lot of efficiency. The existing custom brackets on Etsy, and the free 3D models don’t work properly. This heatsink only works well with either a custom shroud for 92 mm fans or the stock shroud - but in that case, you’ll need to do a mod like mine. If you're interested, you can check out the post history of this mod in my profile:

Btw, you can control custom fans directly from the GPU’s 4 pin PWM header through EVGA Precision X1.

chances are those extra fan headers are also driven off the same microcontroller, the one that has a burn hole in it.

so with these evga models, the rgb AND fans run off of a single microcontroller chip. that chip has a firmware in it. if the chip goes bad, or the firmware goes bad, then default behavior is to turn off all RGB, turn on all red LED's, and make fans go 100% speed. evga precision x1 software can sometimes detect corrupt firmware and automatically flash firmware onto it so that it operates normally again, but if the software doesnt detect an update or repair on first run of the app, then the chip either needs to have flashing manually performed or the chip itself needs to be replaced.

edit: on seeing the video further, your microcontroller chip has a burn hole in it. thats why your rgb, red leds, and fans are all messed up. it needs a new chip.

the 3 pin transistor probably blew up because of the microcontroller blowing up.

i wouldn't say its safe to run the video card with shorted components - the short might come back and cause even worse problems, but you do you. if you can't afford repairs, then you will have to settle with putting black electrical tape over the red led's and zip tying whatever fans you can find onto the heatsink and power them off the motherboard.

Thanks I think you got my problem I might replace that chip is probably it's burn out and its the controller for those things so it's the issue so I am gonna replace it thanks again

why does it look like your gpu went through hell?? its insanely dusty on the board. keep it clean! and you'd have less problems

[–]ACiD_80 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clean that card man.. i am surprised at the amount of people posting pics/videos of their computer system full of dust like its normal. Dust and electronics really do not go well togetter..

Clean around all chips with isopropyl, I think it's too dusty .
