Copper Plating FIXED This Melting RTX 3080. 25 Degree Drop In Mem Temps!

Just because it can be hot, doesn't mean it has to be. Such is the case with GDDR6X memory on RTX 3000 Series GPUs, which are notorious for overheating. But what is one to do? I think the answer lies in copper, one of the most thermally-conductive metals known to mankind. That being said, copper modding can be difficult, but these simple copper plates could make the process a whole lot easier. So join me as I explore just how effective the CoolMyGPU plates are, and whether or not I can save this RTX 3080 GPU from melty-hot-hot temps.

Questions and Answers:
Q: How much greater is the risk of shorting components?
A: If done correctly? None.
Q: What about galvanic corrosion?
A: There is no risk of long-term galvanic corrosion because there is no electrolyte present between the copper and aluminum heatsink.
Q: If my heatsink is already made of copper, will a copper plate improve temps?
A: Most likely not.

Ok, I did this a couple of weeks ago with the shims. I used 2mm shims with MX4 on both sides of the shims and taped off the adjacent areas. I went from throttling at 110C to now maxing out at around 72C under load. Insane results. And this was after trying the upgraded pad replacement, which didn't work more that dropping temps about 10C. Thank you so much!

I mean I have an AIO with 2 fans and 4 case fans plus the 3 on the Ventus. The time delay to me signifies a heat build up, which speaks to airflow, from my experience.

This is a worrying trend where the pros and cons are not comprehensively discussed. One of which is the actual pressure exerted by the copper plate on the VRAMs as the gap is only 0.1 mm (1.6mm gpu die to vram level less 1.5mm plate thickness). This is the gap for thermal grease application. Any thermal expansion of copper (which is about 0.02mm) would bear much pressure on VRAMS and being incompressible, might break/chip it or even slowly degrade the VRAM solder points (fatigue stress - daily turning off/on the PC which causes drastic changes in VRAM temps that causes expansion and contraction of copper metal). All GPU transistor solders are not done exactly the same. If you did it right on the installation but with just one protruding transistor solder anomaly (higher than VRAM levels) and do not know what short circuit means, your GPU will be dead even before powering up your computer. Thermal pads on the other hand equalizes too much pressure on VRAMS as they compress depending on the amount of pressure bore down by the cooling plate. Copper plates such as this one is still risky and your card might not last long even if done "right" - whatever that means.

Important note: Everyone is talking about copper modding their vrms but it seems not one mentions the very obvious. The heat pipes to the main cooler!! This also has a thermal pad which connects the memory vrms to the main cooler. If you miss this, or cheap skate on changing this thermal pad, you will find your temps remain high, if not increase with the newly laid copper. Also when you have changed the thermal pads and have screwed everything together, do a sight test. Peer in from the side and check to see if there is 'day light' between the thermal pads and the heat pipes. If you can a gap then you have used the 'wrong size thermal pads', and should add another layer. This is key! In fact this is 'more important than copper modding your Vrms'.

Gonna do this on all of my cards and save the thermal pads in case I need to send the card for warranty.

The higher the concentration of alcohol (for example 99% vs 70%) the less water it will have which means two things: 1) Stronger, yet still safe cleaning power and 2) less chance of leftover water and/or condensation should you choose to blow air on it to help dry it faster.

When you copper mod, more heat from memory is tranfered to heatsink. As a result, lesser heat is able to be transfered from core to heatsink. The end result of improving memory temps is a small impact on core temps.

A quick question. the temps your measuring on the memory hot spot I assume to be with HWiNFO64 ? I have a full water block on my 3080 and its only with games running Unity Engine that make the memory screaming hot. Unreal Engine Cryengine etc all settle in around 60-65c 2 games on Unity push the hot spot to around 82-96c and one game is simply horrendous and camps at 105c. Right now I am afraid to run some Games made with the Unity Engine as it is certainly going to shorten the lifespan of an expensive card.

@@johnno2377 Oddly enough Vulkan seems to make a huge difference, I get around the same core temps but fan speeds go down by a good 10-15% it's pretty noticeable that it isn't slamming the GPU so hard using that API. I just chock it up to *something* developers are doing with shaders & lighting in Unity. Because I've played Unity games where it barely hits the GPU and I'm basically idling at 35-40C @ 40-50% utilization and others where it ramps up to 70-75% fan speed and can barely stay below 65C. My card is undervolted btw, if you're wondering why my temps seems pretty good. Easy man solution is to lower Power Limit to 70-80% in MSI Afterburner and save it to a profile for Unity games but you might lose 1-3% perf :P If not... techie-show(dot)com has a great lengthy article called "How to undervolt your GPU - lower temps & higher performance" if you feel like jumping in the deep end.

Not to mention I personally over clock it and pushed it to a 330% rating at user benchmark, with the gaming percentage at 386%, workstation at 120% and the workstation at 430%. I don't have any heating issues at all. My CPU gets a little hotter than my GPU, always.

I know that is not too hot but I would like to make it last longer than the manufacturer (whoever that really was) intended. There is a really thick thermal paste that can replace pads but the copper plates seems like an even better idea. I would consider that thick paste to help hold the plates in place. There are also Arctic Silver thermal epoxies but I don't like things that are so permanent, that stuff would destroy your boards when you try to remove the heatsinks.

This is great, I just ordered a plate for my 3070ti. In long gaming sessions I was seeing temps creep up to 100C+, I don't mine but I love these kinds of mods. Ordered some kapton tape from your link too!

@bryjb10 2 жыл бұрын

But the 3070ti can handle memory temps up to 110c and given it’s at 100% load I have never seen one hit that barrier. This does not improve performance. So unless your running it at 120 degrees f ambient I don’t see the the point ?

@arc00ta 2 жыл бұрын

@@bryjb10 yeah and the stock Intel and AMD cooler work just fine too but look at the market. 🙄 Besides that, these cards run with a set power target. Hotter temps requires more power to hit the same clock speed, eating up valuable power target. The cooler it runs the higher it boosts even without manual overclock. This is just basics since the days of Fermi.

PCB bend aside, you are now more effectively dumping heat from the VRAM in the same small area the GPU is. The fact that both GPU and VRAM temperatures seem to equalize is to be expected. Then again, the slightest height difference between the copper shim and GPU core may also explain the behavior. You can only tell that by disassembling the GPU and checking the contact pattern in the thermal paste.

Mine didn't change or equalize. Maybe it's the nine fans in the case though.

@robynd6138 2 жыл бұрын

i think your original mod with the small copper shims worked better i did the exact same on my 3080 but with pure silver shims and kryonaut extreme and it dropped my mem temps from 89c down to 52c-55c which was way more than i expected. if you ever have a chance to try that would be a good video. if you are brave enough use conductonaut liquid metal instead. youll probably drop temps even lower.

what thickness shims?

@gregandark8571 8 ай бұрын

kryonaut extreme contains beryllium powder oxide which is very toxic,pls avoid using that.

Just did this mod on my card, the company now makes the 3080 shim out of alumnimum. memory temp would climb into mid and high 80's when running 4K max serttings on Deathloop, cant get it to go above 72F now, and pretty much never breaks 70F. Usewd the mx-4, good paste, easy. On my 3080 i had to remove an existing shim plate that was build into the card heatsink, old one seemed thinner and definitely had some cutouts aroudn the edges of the memory pieces, also the paste from the factory wasnt well applied and was hardedned. it was easy to do, id recommend it.

@mimigorbonzo6207 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the great video Dandy! I'm curious if adding thermal paste all the way around on top of the copper would lower temps even more? This way, it would have a complete connection to the heatsink at every point of the copper. Maybe this would give you even better heat transfer to the heatsink.

@@dylanr5384 my 3080 fe decided it wanted to start running hot now. 105-110c vram temps. Looks like I'll be ordering some copper shims lol. Besides it would be so much easier to install these than pads. Pads are pretty much a guessing game on the required thickness the gpu needs. Even though people on the internet says "this card uses this thickness", not all pads can compress well. I've used thermalright pads and they had to be spot on with the card or else it's either too thick or too thin due to not being very compressible but has very good conductivity.

Thanks for the vid. The copper pads on your previous video seemed a bit sketchy to me. I'm afraid to attempt that mod, as I'm afraid they will keep moving around. CoolMyGPU have removed this worry, so I think I will try this mod. My 3070ti GPU runs the new 100% unlock T-REX at well over 100 degrees C even with the clock rate turned down. Hope my MSI board isn't warped.
