#3090 Throttle at 70c

I have a 3090 that thermal throttls down to 1800 mhz at 70c. i am using GPUz sensors prefcap reason to test. i have tried using asus gpu tweak to change thermal limit ( it should be 81 anyway ) this makes no difference i have tried using MSI afterburner this also made no difference. the card WILL NOT go above 70c. it is driving me insane.

anyone?

#

after 80 it begins thermal throttling

#

also why downclock ram? you'll lose gpu performance

subtle heath
#

Likely stale presets that auto load

uninstall both Asus GPU Tweak and MSI Afterburner, deleting all settings if prompted

Restart the PC

Then, download Display Driver Uninstaller and reinstall graphics drivers

Check if you don't throttle at 70C, but rather at 83C+ or never

Did it improve?

no change, did a reinstall of windows. everything clean fresh install of the GPU drivers. didnt install anything with the ability to mod said GPU curve or voltages or temps nothing. still the same

Hmm...

flint peak
# subtle heath Hmm...

even if i have aircon running at my PC right so it wont thermal look at this proformance

#

thats a 3090 being 100% of a bottleneck

subtle heath
#

show this tab in gpu-z

#

what's the contents here?

flint peak
#

this is a benchmark

#

other 3090s on this benchmark for warzone are showing around 250-280 fps

#

its driving me insane

i have hwinfo

subtle heath
#

While doing the thing that causes the GPU to throttle, look at the contents of it

#

Specifically, the entire GPU section

okay will do

subtle heath

(it might take a while for me to reply)

#

(sleep time)

flint peak
#

this park?

#

or

#

hw monitor

You're in the wrong mode. Click sensors at the top left corner of the window

subtle heath
#

Gonna sleep now for real

flint peak
subtle heath
#

Did you figure out what's happening at least?

flint peak
#

nope

#

will do the print screen today

#

its got worse now getting fragments when its thermaling

#

99.4c hotspot

after playing some

#

@subtle heath thanks

subtle heath

100C hotspot vs 65C nominal? Yeah, cooling's a bit sussy here

#

Is this thing still in warranty? If not, you're going to need to do something to the cooler. Likely a repaste since the GPU die isn't making the best contact with the cooler.

#

Looks like the mystery was solved at least. The GPU average temp is fine, but the hotspot is way too high

flint peak
#

there is the issue

#

the everage temp is not fine

#

it WONT go above 69

#

and thermal throttles at 69 average temp

#

instead of the 81 its meant too

#

ya its in warrenty hence why i have not re thermal pasted and pad on there but instead of waiting weeks for an RMA i wanted to make sure what it was

#

i knew it was over heating, the issue is the thermal trottling at 69 and not being able to go above it @subtle heath

subtle heath
#

I think you missed the part where the hotspot is abnormally high

#

Bets are the card won't respect the normal thermal limits if other parts were cooking

flint peak
#

righttt

flint peak
#

it got up to 108

flint peak
#

@subtle heath Scan have said these are normal temps... will see how my RMA goes...

#

@flint peak have you checked the GPU-Z sensors tab for the throttle reason?

#

It's called Perfcap

#

I assume it will show a temp reason. And you can tell scan to stop being daft.

A delta that big between the core average and the hotspot points to something being wrong. And with a hotspot that high it's setting your fans to 100%
It never does that unless it's overheating.

#

108c is hot enough to damage the core tbh

#

If you are sending it back to scan, they should do an initial check and then either replace it or send it back to the manufacturer to RMA it

#

I don't see how you would conclude that card doesn't have an issue

#

Because with that size delta, I think even if they put it on an open test bench. If they run a heavy workload it's going to go to 100% fan speed, which isn't normal.

Ask them to run the GPU tests on OCCT. Although if they haven't paid for it they may not be allowed to.

#

And that it's the hotspot temp not the core temp.

And if they are still being useless you can just request they RMA it back to the manufacturer.

flint peak
#

as i will dispute this if they tell me its working fine

flint peak
subtle heath
#

Well, I guess now they'll get you a replacement or repair?

gray breach
#

They will have to yeah. Depending on how long ago it was bought though they might have to send it off to the manufacturer first.

Damn not bad lol

Honestly surprised they gave a 4090

its running at 45C underload
