Just noticed if I set the fans to auto on my Zotac, at 32c ambient fans went straight up to 100%. Definitely on the throttling side. I deshrouded it and zip tied 2x 140mm fans and according to HWINFO, fans are now at 75%. Went down from 100% to 75%. Big help. Let's see if this holds at 35c summer temps. Also checked the pads of the Zotac Amp Holo --- they are 2mm. Will replace the pads later if this still doesn't hold.
Yeah tried that atm i've a ryzen cpu heatsink at the top and it works somewhat, but i think ima try the thermal pad mod , just hope that the 2mm works fine.
How does this work? I mean how did you mount the heatsink?
My 3080’s are not thermal throttling but i did notice the backplate is super hot where the memory and vrams are located so i put a 120mm case fan on there .
Now its just warm to the touch not burning anymore .
Maybe try that and see if it fixes ur problem before u open ur card .
Can you please post pictures? Kinda interested how you did it
i just dropped a cheap ryzen heatsink on top of it still not fixed but lowered temps a bit.
I think this would work better if you dont want to open your card.
This has to be a 3090 since there's no way a 120mm fan would fit, unless its smaller fan.
Got this image from a search,
