  • My question is do you or anyone know what kind of performance/stability improvements I can get by getting my hotspot temps under control?

    Besides Games:

    1. use fancontrol to control your… fans: https://getfancontrol.com/ and create a fan curve that is useable
    2. if possible, deshroud your GPU. The plastic covers a lot of hot air.
    3. when you have a backplate on your GPU, check if its thermically connected to the board via thermalpads. if not, get some thermalpads (not the cheap one I had but pads with a high heat transfer of at least 10 W/(m*k). Also be sure, that your backplate is metal not plastic
    4. cover at least the areas of the VRM and VMEM like in this picture (not mine, I just found it)
    5. repaste your GPU. Or use these: Thermal Grizzly Kryosheet. But they are a) expensive and b) electronically conductive, so make sure it sits on your gpu and does not touch anything else. But they have a great impact on heat transfer
    6. Or, if you have the money, get a Raijintek Morpheus 8069. Add some nice fans to it and it should help you

    Ingames:

    1. don’t use TAA with high settings, that will heat up your mem
    2. use the chill feature that is included in the drivers. You limit the frames, therefore your GPU doesn’t have to work as hard to get high FPS.
    3. Shadows/RTX in games also use a lot of power… seriously.
