i already have repasted, i did take few pics along the way, what are you looking to focus on? the existing paste was hard as a rock i had to "scrape" it off instead of just wiping, i will post my tests, findings, and conclusions in the evening later today,

i am too encountering thermal throttling issues and (relative) low performance with my new 7670, first test Dell default, after full system update and no tinkering or tweaking single CB R23 run got a score of 14089, 30 min sustained run scored 13674, tweaked the system bit and run again single CB R23 run scored 17019, 30 min sustained run scored 15268, all along system is thermal throttling through the roof, even at idle temps are at low 80's, i will see how far undervolting and repasting gets this system alog, as it is this is simply unacceptable,

make no sense to me either, every other RTX variation works and supported, what makes the 3080 an exception puzzles me, going off your hands on experience apparently there's something going on the background we are not privy to, googling exposes allot of issues with 3080/3090 and Ubuntu (im sure you sifted through these by now?),

for what its worth i looked up your specs, when i placed my order the internal Dell system configurator would not allow the agent to mix Ubuntu with the 3080, despite me insisting on Ubuntu for my OS it was simply not possible and i was forced to buy a Windows license if i wanted the 3080 in the mix (all other GPU options don't have the same issue), i did not get an explanation as to why the two are incompatible just a confirmation that they are not compatible from a higher tech before i placed my order,

i have the 7670 with SODIMM module in hand, in case anyone interested it is just a module converter mounted on top of the CAMM connector, technically one could remove the SODIMM bracket converter and use a CAMM module instead,
