Hi Alphacool! I water cooled my system with Alphacool components (2x360x45 rads & Aurora CPU & GPU block) and it seems to be working quite well. Everything is cool, except for the VRAM on the 3080 while mining. I could mine without problem at 100MH/220W around 90 degrees, which I already thought was quite hot (the GPU temp is nice and chill at 38 degrees).
Now after about three weeks, the temperatures have been steadily increasing (perhaps due to it becoming a little bit warmer in my room as well), and now I can't even mine at 90MH/208W without the temperatures hitting 95+ degrees.
I was expecting my water-cooling to keep it a lot colder than this, especially considering my buddy (who has an EK block on his 3080) has never even hit 80 degrees celcius on his VRAM!
What is your opinion? Is there anything I can do to improve these temperatures?
Thanks!
