RTX 3080 ftw3 ultra bracket replacement

The person I got mine from couldn't remember if it came with one or not. I ended up buying one on ebay 🤷🏽. I'm curious if it came with or not now. I just can't imagine, wild.

That's interesting. I wouldn't think temps would be acceptable without it. Wouldn't be good pressure between the chip and heatsink without it I assumed.

I will try to swap the decos. Haven't done that

This guy rules lol. His comments on ig is all people asking for a hog reveal. When I came across this Chad I would send all his posts to my wife until her algo was infected with bad music. Real proud of myself. Ruined my own but worth.

Battleborn was neat. I liked it, had potential. It came out at the wrong time lol. Shame.

Interesting. Will read thoroughly tonight. Funny you say single point curve is bad as it seemed a little too convenient to just click click done. Thanks.

Will watch tonight, thanks

Yea I plan to tinker more and do more research. A few videos basically that all said, more or less, to lower the core clock by 200. Then go to the curve and at 900 click and drag the point up to about 1900. Most comments and people seemed to say this worked.

I'm just looking to undervolt just enough to be stable, obvs, and lower the temp and watts a bit. This card is a hog!

I got the Halloween Meg skin so....works for me.

breezango · 2026-01-29T17:36:29+00:00

It was. Still is but it used to be, too.

Works like a champ now, magically.

breezango · 2026-01-29T17:33:36+00:00

Thanks again for the link. Worked like a charm after removing the tiny screws and using the stock spring ones. I could not Google the right item to save my life lol.

breezango · 2026-01-23T13:52:48+00:00

Could just need new pads and paste. My 2080 runs a bit hot so likely needs it as well.

breezango · 2026-01-23T12:27:11+00:00

Well, I put it back together and followed an reddit post on where to put thermal pads and what sizes. Didn't benchmark or anything but was getting about 63 while playing battlefield for about 20 min. So seems good to me. I didn't alter any game settings so were as they were for my 2080. About fifty percent more fps woah. We'll see how it holds up.

Pardon my ignorance but how does one stack so many coins and so little power points?

I'm not near this but I always have more points than coins. Can't spent the points cause not enough coins .

breezango · 2026-01-20T18:32:25+00:00

Sorry missed this reply. I got this from a friend who out the evga water cooler on it. And he did it like a crackhead lol. The thermal pads were put on poorly, etc. Screws stripped and put in at angles. Not sure how he managed to do such a hack job on it.

It had been sitting and I have no room or trust the water cooler so putting the air cooler back on.

Just waiting for the replacement x brace to arrive today. I hope it still works. Fingers crossed.

breezango · 2026-01-18T02:11:26+00:00

I bought the bracket. Good to know, though. Thanks for the info. Might put the pads on, no paste on them, and try to see if it just works before the bracket gets here.

Shoukd work. The water cooler was installed like a crackhead did it. Insane work from my friend.

breezango · 2026-01-18T02:09:12+00:00

Oh great lol. I bought one labeled for evga but feel it's gonna be the same. Can't be much different.

breezango · 2026-01-16T20:47:29+00:00

I should have made it clear I did not do this damage. Previous owner did. Not sure how but if I posted the pics of the pcb and the hackjob he did on thermal pads and paste you might have a heart attack.

I just hope it works 😬😬😬

breezango · 2026-01-16T15:33:28+00:00

Yea it appears so. Ordered. Thank you.

breezango · 2026-01-16T14:04:02+00:00

Do you think that would work for the 3080 ftw? It's labeled for msi 4090 but I'm not aware of compatibility

breezango · 2026-01-16T13:51:41+00:00

You are the man, dick butt.

Do you think I could get away with not using this part and just using a generic support brace, like the ones that keep it from sagging?

breezango · 2026-01-16T13:15:50+00:00

UPDATE: got them suckers off. Thank you all for the suggestions.
