After playing MSFS 2020 for about 2 hrs and then straight into Destiny 2 these are my temps. GPU 3090 Minimum 29c / Max 66.6c / Average 58c Memory Junction for same Min 36c / Max 78 / Average 71c So I am happy out with them temps. Also because the temps are good the default card boosts to 2,500mhz when gaming.

I never get as high as 110 for throttling but its far too high for my liking. I dont mine at all so thats not an issue for me. I have new thermal pads arriving today to get this replacement done.... not going to lie I am ****ting myself! I've replaced coolers on cards before but 3090 cost is just a different level of risk. At the same time the benefits are so high... and I imagine that constant use at these high temps could result in long term degradation.

And then an Alienware so I can take the 3090 out and let it mine away at work until I make a proper new build this time next year. And sell the rest of the system on Ebay to make a few quid back.

My 3060ti order is "confirmed" and has a value. My 3070 order is blank except for the order number and has no value. I have also purchased from buy-spares.ie and was charged Irish 23%, no levies. I purchased from currys.ie again order came with Irish VAT charged and no levies. Coffee Table from Marks and Spencers again came with no levies, wasn't business related so didn't get a VAT invoice. Perhaps I was lucky 4 times.
