EVGA 3080 Miner Review

So I have a few cards to mine and 2 of them are EVGA 3080 FTW3 and Asus TUF 3080. I'm worried about the memory connection EVGA so I decided to buy this to put on the back of my EVGA card. I saw instant results. EVGA cut corners by not placing pads on the back of the card. Asus already has a few of these, but I suspect they haven't delivered the best quality, just the most economical ones. So my memory connect rates on my EVGA used to be in the mid to late 90's (never hit 100 degrees but close, lol) but now that I've added them to the lower 80's I highly recommend everyone add this to theirs to add. I only had to buy one of these to get the job done. It's small, but it's enough for vrms of the back. I have 2 photos with my overclock settings (I've decided to stop chasing 100mph, 95-97 is enough for me, I don't want my rig to break and my card last a long time) and my uptime (48 hours ) and hwinfo with the memory transition temperature. 80s temps is my evga and the other is my asus tuf 3080 temps, both use the same overclock settings and my asus temps are above 90s. I'm thinking of replacing those spacers with these but don't feel like taking apart the whole card just yet lol. Getting to the back of the board is more difficult with Tuff than with Evga.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other miners
