no way for me to use windows again i am using nhos , but i will install windows and replicate the nicehash os low settings with afterburner to watch the vram temp if it is acceptable will switch to nhos with peace , but how can i know the low settings in nhos details so i can replicate
I never used Nicehash OS, but you can try Hive OS, it's simple to use and install
Hive OS shows memory temperature on Nvidia cards
But I agree with philipma1957, try windows to at least know your card better for a few hours or a couple of days, with GPUz you can extract a lot of information about power consumption, vram temperature, memory usage (here you can see if it's throttling or not) etc
You can use msi afterburner to make the overclock, and after that you can use another OS knowing which settings to use
Yeah especially with $2500 usd cards
The 3090 do 105 to 120 all depends on how cool the ram is.
finding the memory junction temp is good to do.
Since I don't do a lot of mods on these cards I simply lower ram a bit and watts a bit. Good fan action.
I keep getting decent temps and decent hash with ram backed off a bit and external fans.
on Simple mining os most cards can do 1000 to 1100 on ram clocks
and most card run too hot with that setting.
so more fans or drop ram to 950 or 900 or 850 or even 800
Most of my 3090 have ram at 950 smos settings.
one or 2 have 1000 ram setting
one or 2 have 800 ram setting.
most of my 3090 units including the Zotac do 106 to 117mh/s
