A Redditor, ComplexSupermarket89, modified their old MSI RTX 3080 Ventus, which used to rank among the best graphics cards, after its maximum memory and hotspot temperatures started hitting 102 and 105 degrees Celsius, respectively. The DIYer repurposed a car amplifier as a heatsink for the RTX 3080.
According to the user, they initially repadded their graphics card to solve the overheating issue, but it happened again within a year. So, they decided to mod the GPU this time by adding Arctic MX-7 thermal paste between the memory chips, using better thermal pads, and replacing the MSI Ventus backplate with a heatsink.
