Just about that time again

Can't believe I was chiseling ice and snow off my truck to go to work just over a week ago but it's already getting quite warm in here. I already shut off phantom zone a few weeks ago and the HTPC is next. I'll keep the Server running WCG as it doesn't create much heat and I'll lurk in the forums. Jeezus I might have to cut back on the gaming. This used RTX3080 FTW Ultra I picked up sure throws off the heat. Gets my 750W PSU working pretty hard too but there were no RX9070's in stock anywhere so it is what it is. This thing pulls about double the TDP of the 9070 under load according to the HWiNFO sensors. I guess I'll just have to pay to play in 4K ...

Undervolt...put in on about 75-80% power and +100 MHz on the Core, then see if you have any performance increase or decrease.

Actually I applied a curve and gave a slight bump to memory and allowed 110% if the card wants it but I might just give your way a try. I'm not really into shooters anymore so a couple fps less makes no diff.
edit - trial #1: 90% undervolt, +100 core, mem stock. Furmark 2.7 identical results, way less power draw and heat and PSU not "humming" (fan spin). So far so good. I'll fire up a game and get the sensors going in the background. Good idea 'stang
