EVGA XC3 ULTRA GAMING, getting 102 MH/s when not using the monitor, no throttling.
Fans at 60%, +1500 memory, -200 GPU, 70 PL @ ~240W.

Had a Gigabyte Gaming OC before; was thermal throttling with PL 60, was pulling between 85-91 MH/s. Glad to be rid of it.

I tall depends on the backplate and location of thermal pads, if they are good the memory will not throttle!

I can get with lolMiner 100Mhs with less that 240W in my Gigabyte ... But I made the Thermal Pads not only in back plate also I replace the original and I take out the large connector to give some extra ventilation... and it works greats...

Now I have at 96Mhs at 217W... I prefer to save that 20W for 4 Mhs...

So gigabyte gaming of is fixable by thermal pad replacement?
Did you use 3mm or 2mm? I can't find 3mm anywhere

Thanks

I did only find the 2mm (Thermalright Thermal Pad 12.8 W/mK, 85x45x0.5mm).
I got good results, 20 degress celsius less on Memory Junction.
Core and GPU hotspot increased 6 degrees each, maybe more heat from memories on copper, or bad thermal paste reapply.

I forgot to try the remaining piece of thermal pad on backplate, not sure if 2mm would fit in the gap (and not fall).
I think if with precise cutting you can use a single thermal pad sheet on both front and backplate (if 2mm fits backplate).

But be warned, you'll lose your warranty and Gigabyte Gaming OC fan connectors are a hell of a job to remove them, almost broke 2 of the 3, I almost gave up...
I'm certain that if for any reason I rma this car, it'll be rejected.

For curiosity, my Gigabyte had much less grease/oil from original pads than what I saw in some videos...
