I tried those already, which is why I mentioned it in my post I wasn't fond of them for some features they lack, unless I missed them ( yes I learned of those fan controls from that thread)
-
So I resorted back to obsidian's fan control app since I purchased a copy years ago- Problem is, obsidian went out of business and i have an app with remote control through Ip that makes a ton of outbound connections if I stop it through firewalls ( portmaster or windows firewall) the app complains every 5 seconds. I do not want a old app making connections to out of date and disregarded services and most unfortunately I found no decent alternative to this fan control ( can unify load/temp logic and do other things). Is there a way I can block this app's internet connection without it being any the wiser?
-
Could it be related to the janky gpu driver install (3080 in an sm-g without prema bios) that I cannot wake the pc up from sleep? ( black screen. Also battling with windows installing dptf over and over) I answer my own question: yes, it is indeed related to botched gpu driver installs: you can use nv clean install and edit the inf file required by using your gpu hardware ID, then replace it in the temp folder where the program stores the files. Then you reboot into driver certification disabled state (7 in the menu for safe mode reboots) and proceed with the normal installation. This fixes issues with sleep or nomenclature in programs, you still do not have gsync or dynamic boost however
-
Having an SM-G, it would be 10900k, but yeah
-
I can confirm the 3080, even without g sync or dynamic boost, is much better than the 2080s ( not talking 40 to 50fps ofc, but still noticeable) at a much less wattage cost ( thus far never seen over 320w combined system) Personal experience in all the 3 last tomb raider games and witcher 3, the latter of which struggled a lot especially memory-wise during rtx, while the 3080 handles it with ease. Temps top at 70C Hotstpot and not even 63C on core (Cpu is 10600k with a -94mv undervolt, performance profile, sits around 78 to 82 on some cores tops), however I'm using the stock fan control which isn't very customizable, I do own obsidian's old fan control app but it doesn't always behave correctly especially during opposite spinning and it has a continous connection for the remote control which you cannot block unless you want a warning appearing every 5 seconds
-
no no, the paste was just at heatsink's side, and i used only the battery, it wasn't connected to the wall, we're talking seconds of activity anyway.. I think it was residual alcohol that simply evaporated, smell was plasticy ish tho, regardless, there is no visible damage anywhere
-
So, I re installed my 2080s because I wanted to test if it still worked. I cleaned it beforehand with alcohol, let it dry etc. When I put it back I did put the heatsink and fans but not all the screws or the paste ( gpu side). After some boot attempts I heard boiling, so closed the pc immediately, re opened it immediately and saw bubbles of "water" ( could not have been since I used alcohol only), and a smell as if something was cooking. Now, the pc works with the 3080, I tested it afterwards and everything is fine, however I cannot boot the 2080s it seems. At inspection, the gpu is fine, there is nothing (even under lens) that would suggest short circuits, broken connectors, burned bus or anything, but there is something else: when I first removed the 2080s for cleaning, I am fairly certain a small amount of liquid metal went under one of the vram chips, and I made my best efforts to remove and clean everything before doing this attempt. I also cleared cmos battery to prevent issues with gpu swapping. Do you think my gpu is dead? Is there any way to test it elsewhere that does not involve risking my main and only pc?
-
we desperately need a more complete solution to this then
-
also, does this mean that every time I update my gpu drivers I have to use the same trick?
-
we have, I assume, the same machine and bios version (1.07.04, from clevo directly): x170SM.g with the same 3080, possibly from the same seller even. The only difference is that I am using dsanke's bios unlocker, which I use for xmp and some other stuff, how is it then you did not have to do anything while everyone else sits with the same problem?
-
Thank you! Then how is it possible that gsync and dynamic boost work for @Pfudaniel? they also gave me a different file to edit: nv_dispig.inf
-
So, anyone knows which template to use? my own path is 7714 1558 which does not exist apparently in that list. I tried the standard method of .inf modding by rebooting into disabling driver certification and replacing the id into that 24DC, driver installs but it still won't recognise the gpu in nv clean install, no gsync either
-
I know it can. Not there though in my case. For like a couple of very hard millimeters
-
Ah! The km g heatsink does not fit the sm-g chassis apparently. Plastic where that pad passes through ( bottom right corner) is protruding too much. Nice.
-
https://youtu.be/8igM5DcTukw i'm soon switching to my 3080, as soon as my heatsink gets here. will this be necessary if I use DDU and NVCleanInstall?
-
pretty sure options included the base 1080 144hz, 1080 240hz and then the 4k 60hz
-
Well, apparently just replugging the cmos was sufficient to fix it, good to know
-
fair point, however everything I saw thus far indicates that. The main battery is fine, 7% wear which isn't bad considering it also is 4 years old and works fine. Also reflashed bios and EC(thus disabling Dsanke's bios unlocker) to make sure everything is fine software wise. Thank you for the updates, looking forward for that .INF driver and what to do with it!
-
Well, it lasted 4 years.. Where can I get another? third party or should I contact my own clevo seller?
-
Apparently my pc decided it was time not to ever boot without it being plugged in to the wall. It flashes and then turns off, only with AC power it turns on and it says there's been an nvram reset, so bios reset and everything. Is it me or the CMOS battery is dying?
-
indeed, i thought the same, my own 2080s also has similar wear on the memory chips. i got it from amazon from a third party seller, and they said they won't have another heatsink ready for 40 days..if anyone has links for decent prices, I would appreciate the PMs. Mostly because I want to test the 3080 as I do not have a lot of time before I can send it back in case it does not work. another weird thing is that the gpu is listed coming from the US, yet there's a label that says hong kong and an address there...k
-
Ah, my own 3080 just arrived, looks good on visual inspection, signs of wear appear on the memory chips' writings, some of them are faded. Pity I cannot test the gpu because the heatsink I received was bent and thus unusable. They also send you gpu cable and the big pad that sits under it
-
it should be plug and play regardless. The issues which require modding are Gsync and Dynamic Boost, apparently by modding the .inf driver
-
the hybrid heatsink has no advantage with air over the stock one. the modded fans however do the job real nicely. So, how's the 3080? plug and play? any issues?
-
i just hope the gpu is fine and it wasn't overused in a crypto farm or something. The board itself in the pictures looked pretty much brand spanking new, so there's that at least
