Are you running low resolution and low settings?

Average clock speed? Any graphic abnormal signs?

Hi there, once I owned a dell rtx 3080. You can replace the thermal paste and thermal pad.

What i did:
1. Replaced thermal paste to kyronaut
2. For thermal pad area surrounding the thermal paste core, just spread your remaining thermal paste around.

You will see great thermal improvement then. You can search on youtube. Lots of video about this matter.

I already sold my dell rtx long long time ago haha. But my dell rtx was quite chill, not as hot as you described. Now im using vulcan, excellent temp.

Hi, just wanna share my experience toward monitor refresh rate vs fps topic.

I transitioned from 144 to 165 to 240. Used 240 for a while then itchy wanna try ultrawide 144. By the time i received the ultrawide 144, yea it’s nice to have such great screen estate. But then the experience in normal windows tasks and gaming makes me wanna scream! Even moving mouse cursor at 240 will make you wet.

Now tak boleh tahan. Selling off my ultrawide 144 to switch back to 240. Rugi mati oh.

Yea, most people will tell you 144 and 240 the difference will be minimal comparing to 60>144. Don’t doubt that, it’s true. But then when the minimal difference accumulate throughout days and nights, your eyes will tell you, your eyes are not meant for 144.

Just my experience. You need to know what you need, what you want. Now i know what i need, I need smoothes over screen estate. Reddit comments only for your reference to think, don’t follow their comments blindly.

Previously Acer XB273UGX around 2.6k, it’s good but sometimes image retention occurs. If, if you’re using it’s black boost. Set black boost to 0, image retention won’t happen.

Now looking forward to AW2721D. Expensive also need to buy liao, tak boleh tahan 144 lol. I also noticed this is semi glossy, unlike conventional matte screen.

Only found 1 on Lazada, 1000w sold out.

Hi, 3080ti user here. Yes, setting power management to max will put gpu temp to around 50c even during idle. I just set to max power by games saja now.
