The -1000Mhz was only to show you that you don't have a RMA, you have temp problems in the memory... and you will have it also with a new card, and also with another brands...

With the -1000Mhz the memory get less hot and i will be stable from the begining... of course you will get only +70Mhs but they will be stable... because there is memory trolling.

My photo is after the solution of the mem temps...

I have to disagree Cheesy

If you have to put -1000Mhz, or change the thermal pads because it's horrible, yes, it's a good reason to RMA
After you changed the thermal pads, your card is running 24h stable at 100mhs?

70 Mhs consuming 235w don't look so good, the good thing about RTX 3080 is the 100Mhs for 250w Grin

Nvidia said it's all good now, but for me it's clearly that these cards have a problem, drivers, capacitors, I don't know, but there's something wrong

I think I didn't explain it properly...

It is not a card problem, it is a temp problem for eth mining., the cards works perfectly for gaming...
If he make a RMA:
- 1st he will have to wait a lo for another 3080.
- 2nd he will have the same problem in the new one, also other brands have that problem, for example some MSI...

The solution accept that the thermal pads are bad quality:
- reduce mem - 1000Mhz and also PL to 180W to have stable 70+Mhs
Or
- change thermal pads and mine 215W at 96+Mhs or 240W to pass the 100Mhs( I prefer 215W - 96Mhs)
