Quick question if i only repaste the gpu without changing the pads will it fix my hotspot being around 30 degree more hot or do i have to change the pads to fix that?
Is the hotspot temp like that even when the computer is idle? If it is, it might be worth re-pasting, just make sure to cover the entire GPU die. May as well upgrade the pads if you're in there already.
Adam, I think you should do a A/B test with some real apps if you have the MacBook with i5 and the newer one handy. Your viewers would most likely prefer watching that because the content in this video can easily be found in a blog post or some promotional advertisement. I would rather see a real world example including a benchmark for opening some app on Mac or doing a similar activity. Again, all the content in your video is easily found elsewhere.
Thanks so much! Bought mine used and evidentially used for mining or something. Running 107c in certain parts of starfield. Now it's running 71c in the same spots. lol
Haha it's non-conductive, so it's not a problem. I mentioned in another comment, since the first time I tried re-pasting, I did not fully cover the surface with thermal paste, so it resulted in very high GPU hotspot temps even when idle. I did not want to risk having to open the card again and re-paste for a third time.
@@adam_tarantino Just use 5 times less thermal paste and a match next time. The paste is carefully spread in a thin layer on the processor and that’s it. There is no need to spread it like butter on bread.
The API token field in the stream deck app is not there. I got the key but no where to put it in. I only have the title field under the teams buttens and no API. Please help
My msi 3080 is starting to stutter and the memory temp looks a little high at > 90 playing cyberpunk for more than 20 minutes doesn’t make a considerable with the glass off ether might do this and hopefully it helps
Only seeing this now but after doing a similar build a month ago I discovered the longer screws fit in the PSU mounting bracket and allow you to hard mount it to the front panel - there are some screw holes which are reportedly there for this exact purpose, though you do need to hold the bracket in place as its threading a screw in to 2 separate sets of threads. The fan brackets are also much easier to install outside of the case, you can loosely mount the fans to the bracket and then once aligned/parralel you can tighten them and then mount the 2 sides on to the struts on the case. Great video otherwise! Entertaining and informative, this case is definitely a learning experience coming from a regular case. Edit: realised I have the v2.1 despite having ordered the 2.0, so my point on the PSU mount might not apply
Which side bar are you referring to? If it's the side panel of the T1, the top strut may be configured for a larger slot size. In 3 slot mode, you're left with 53mm for the CPU cooler. In 3.25 slot mode, you're only left with 48mm.
Appreciate it! When I was securing the PSU bracket, it did strike me as odd that it wasn't threaded. I'm glad they're changing the design! It still felt stable enough though. Many people have built with the V2, and I don't think it's a big enough problem that it would cause issues. But the improved stability would provide a little more peace of mind! I think that M3 screw was intended to sort of hang off a narrow indentation backside of the front panel. You can see it on the .pdf instructions online. It might be possible to use a slightly longer M3 screw for that particular location, maybe a millimeter or two longer and it would be less likely to fall off that little ledge.
Definitely gets noisy when gaming! Although I wear over-the-ear headphones or IEMs when I game, so it's not an issue for me. Otherwise, you're right, it's pretty quiet during normal use.
@@adam_tarantinoundervolting the cpu is easy with PBO2 and the gpu can be undervolted as well to near stock performance at much lower wattage, will do wonders for noise but if you have IEM’s then maybe it’s not worth the trouble
She can get warm! Seems like newer CPUs are expected to run hotter, but the 5800x in particular is known to. Undervolting the CPU and GPU help keep temps in check since there is an overall lower power consumption. Rough temperature benchmarks: Cinebench R20 / R23: CPU: 90 Blender: CPU: Upper 80s to 90 Halo Infinite (low settings): CPU: low 70s (~72) GPU: upper 60s (~68) Red Dead Redemption 2 (ultra settings) : CPU: mid 70s (~75) GPU: mid-upper 60s (~63-68)
Bummer. You can right click on the Teams icon in the dock, hover over 'Options', then click 'Show in Finder'. This will open the directory the Teams app resides in. Within Finder, you can press Option+Command+P to show the path. You'll want to navigate to that directory in Terminal.
@@99dimensions It's possible your Teams organization does not allow the option. Might be worth contacting an admin of your Teams organization. You could try on a Windows machine to see if the option exists.
Thanks for the video. i just this exact card today and while using it noticed my mem junction temp at 110C and hot spot at 86C although general GPU temp was at 65C so i'm definitely replacing the thermal pads asap. Quick question. i got the dimensions from the jpg that you linked, but in the end how many of each size did you end up buying. LOL, i suck at math so I'm having a hard time figuring out how many I should buy of each size. Also am i right in assuming this is probably gonna cost about $75 in thermal pads?
I actually had a friend who did the same modification for a different card send me his extra thermal pads. I'm fairly certain you would need one pack of 2mm and one pack of 3mm. Each pack comes with two pieces.
@@adam_tarantino yep you are correct I ordered 1 pack of each. I replaced the thermal pads, ended up knocking two resistors off the pcb, died inside for 3 days, found a local shop that fixed it for $60 and now I have a nice chilly GPU, my temps dropped pretty significantly. Hotspot hits 70C max and thermal Junction only hits about 67C Max. Thanks a ton for this video considering before the repaste and repad my GPU probably would have cooked itself to death.
I have that same 3080 in my TU150 :D - Together with a Ryzen 3900x and a Noctua NH-D15 cooler. The only chassis fan however, is in the front. And I have to keep the fans on 100% to get acceptable temps. I want to put a rear fan in, however I have not thought about the slim bottom fans. How much do you think they add to the cooling ?
I would recommend a rear fan to exhaust air out of the case. For the bottom fans, I don't think I measured the difference before/after. I think they'd help although I'd opt for a rear exhaust fan before adding bottom intake fans. My one gripe about this case is I wish the rear fan grill was less restrictive. There was so much positive air pressure in my case, I could feel warm air escaping through the attic where the handle sits.
I did not take measurements. However, even under load I would not say it is loud. Depends on where you have it positioned. If it's on top of your desk, right next to you, you'll hear it. But if it's out of the way, underneath your desk, it wouldn't be too bad. If you're gaming you probably wouldn't notice it, especially if you have a headset on.
This is the 10GB version. Fair point. I errored on the side of using more than less since the first time I tried re-pasting, I did not fully cover the surface with thermal paste, which resulted in very high GPU hotspot temps even when idle. I did not want to risk having to open the card again and re-paste for a third time. Also the Arctic MX-4 paste is less viscous than others, which also could have contributed.
@@adam_tarantino I'm wondering if they addressed that 'sticker on the heatsink' problem with the updated 12gb seeing as how it came out two years later. - Don't worry about thermal paste, no matter how you do it somebody would complain. :)
I don't have a TUF 3070 TI on hand to verify, but looking at another video, it appears it's very similar to the TUF 3080. I believe you could follow my video for your 3070 TI and still be successful. Here's the video I referenced. It's timestamped when the card is disassembled; you can see the memory modules and heatsink are very similar to the 3080. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f8f6ZHCPVpw.html
On my tuff 3090, in order to reach 30 degrees 90 xw in the heat, you need to jam the core ((The map has already been modified (((Powdery cold, I regret that I didn’t fuck up the strix ((((
By the way, memory chips an 3090 are more temperature resistant than 3080 (there was also 3080 tuff) I remember getting warm at 100 degrees and immediately the hash drops (((
I've been really enjoying the form factor! Although, heat is more of an issue with the smaller size. There have been a couple of times under load where it has abruptly shut off due to the CPU temperature. I might need to upgrade my CPU cooler!
Yesterday i changed my Asus Tuf 3080 with copper pads, temps droped alot! Before was 100mhs with 104 degrees celsius on vram, after 100mhs with 84 degrees celsus around 3 pm ( during the day temp is max 84, at night drops to 76 ). Btw nice video dude!
Wow, nice job, that's a huge difference! Is it a piece of copper with thermal paste? Or copper thermal pads? Haven't heard of those before! And I appreciate it! 🙏🏼
great guide! i have some 3080 tufs and made those mods some time ago, it works great! i can't understand why ASUS choose to place stickers over thermal pads between the memory heatsink and the heatpipes... thanks for the video!
Appreciate the comment! I agree, with the engineering they have, you would think they could find a better place for those stickers. Even if you aren't mining, this little upgrade should prolong the life of the card.
Looking back, I didn't notice anything particularly wrong with the Asus pads I removed. My best guess is that adding the pad where I removed a couple stickers on the heatsink made the biggest difference (4:56). Since I had extra, I decided to go ahead and replace most of them while I had the card open.
Great build. I literally have almost the same build in mine from last year in the silver color. I have a 9900k in mine with a 2080 super and it’s such a great powerful build and case. I now have a second pc in the o11 mini with a 10850k but had to take the gpu from the tu150 build since it’s so hard to find a gpu. I hope to get another gpu for the tu150 build to use it as a dedicated tv pc. Your 5800x will last you a good while. How are you liking it so far? I wanted the black case but was scared of future scratches.
Thanks! Great minds think alike. The O11 Mini looks like a fantastic case. It has been an excellent PC for me, I am really enjoying it. There are a few small scratches on the black side panel, but nothing too serious. I actually bit the bullet and upgraded my GPU recently. I'll post an update soon!
@@adam_tarantino sounds good. I was able to pick up a 3090 for $1900. Still more than what I wanted to spend for any gpu but it’s better than $1600 for a 3080. What gpu did you get?
@@Blaquegold Sounds like a pretty good deal for a 3090 considering how the GPU market has been recently. I picked up an Asus TUF 3080 because I was confident the 750W PSU could handle it. Were you able to fit the 3090 in the TU150? Or did you put it in the O11 Mini?
Unfortunately, no. According to the specifications, the case does not support MATX out of the box. I held an older MATX board I had up to the case, and it overlaps where the PSU is located in the top right corner. So you would have to modify the case for the mounting points of the MATX board, and somehow figure out where to place the PSU. Personally, I would not attempt to do that, it seems like too much hassle.
Thanks for the question Rondó. I think it is possible, but could be cumbersome. The PC is this video weighs 18.8 pounds (~8.5 kilograms). In that scenario I would probably choose the version of the TU150 with out the tempered glass side panel. This would reduce the weight and also eliminate the possibility of the glass shattering if it got bumped.
