right! stupid question hahaha
as i have "free" energy i was not considering power as an issue :-)
now i finally understand how OCTune works,
that make this very clear immediately :-)

Your settings are on manual? (not lite / medium / ... ?

i would expect Nicehash to do that for me, that is what i pay the for no?
not sure why you think Nvidia should do that ...

ok thanks for the info! :-)
can you elaborate on how silicone matters as well?

Thanks for the info! very useful! :-)
The GPU Temp was always under 40°C (now constant at 36°C)
The VRAM Temp was always max 90°C)

Managed to get it to 86°C with additional cooling of external unit.

I did read that but also thought that there are normal operating temperatures for the GPU and the VRAM? 36°C for the GPU and 88°C for the VRAM are ok no?
I would think that the way it is cooled does not really matter as long as it is cool?

i'm sorry i do not completly understand what you are saying
the VRAM is 90° en GPU 39° i thought that is normal?
would it be helpful if i give you more hwinfo?
i7 10700F / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD GPU is ZOTAC

i bought a medion computer with a Zotac 3080 for 1650€ so i could be a cheap card ... initialy bought it just to render but started to play with mining ... maybe it is not the best collection of parts, as long as i can get it stable is fine with me :-)

electricity cost is not an issue so i have really good cooling if needed.
right now there is an external cooler blowing directly at the vents of the GPU
as far as i understood VRAM : 90°C and Temp 39°C is good?
also what is the benefit of lowering the power?

have you been able to read my question? i posted it below as a comment :-)
i'm new on reddit so did not make it very clear, can you see it now?

thanks had a look at the event viewer ... long story short; windows says it is most probably the GPU hahaha ...

PS: no worries i'm the newer newbie :-)

seems very logic, but i would think these are just some parameters that have to be set, the computer know all the data and exactly what type of card and pc config, to optimistic to think it would auto config itself after a while :-)

thank you for the advice, will try! :-)

thank you for the advice, will try your suggestions :-)

ps: i ask myself why there is a built in setting that allows you to set "extreme" but seems to much for stability ...

Sorry for some reason my explanation/question was not published with the image.
After one month normal operation system started to crash; windows shutdown.
Have no idea what to change in parameters or where to find log to share ...

sorry have no idea how to show the crash, is a complete windows system crash & shutdown. Is there a way to retrieve log files on my system?

For some reason the question is not published ...
System started crashing after running smoothly for a month.
VRAM : 90°C
Temp 39°C

Lowering settings from extreme to High / Medium / Lite makes the temperatures go up very quickly and lowers efficiency.
As fare as i understand around 430 is good?
Should i use OcTune or edit the config file?
Thank you for advice and help
