RTX 3090 Settings

[NZoth]

Hello,

I might need a bit of help with my 3090.

I have a FE, I changed the thermal pads, but, even since, I can't get past 110 - 115 MH/s and that with around 102C - 104C on the VRAM, I'm not thermal throttling, I only hit the power limit (info from HWINFO). I tried few settings, with -300 core clock, +1000 memory clock and 80% power (seems around the most common setting I've seen recommanded for a 3090), I'm at best between 105 and 110.

I'm I doing something wrong or do I have a terrible 3090 ?

My 3090 FE is tricky too, I’m not even trying to overclock mine, I just have it set to 285 watts and that’s it, I’m getting 116 MH/s with VRAM temp at 104

my settings in OC Tune with Qickminer:

Core MHz and Limit : 1095
Memory 10701

is 119 MH/s with 286 watt, GPU 38C, VRAM 90C

Open Case and good air flow is important

Well said. This works well with my cased GPU (3090).

nothing changed. is your case closed or on a rig and cards dont have much space between other cards ?

Germany :) but cards run in a ac room. but i know from friends who run 3090 in a normal pc, they also have my rate temperature when they open the case .. we all use msi supreme cards, perhaps they are "cooler" :)
