Can I not just take some USB memory sticks and solder them on to the 3080 PCB to make up the 24GB of vram?

Is that roughly not what they did with the GTX 970?

Good luck doing FBGA with a soldering iron!

Can you use that electronics glue?

Hope nobody thinks I'm being serious here!

Blu tak is so much easier to work with than solder

Didn't somebody do that on this forum years ago? Supergluing a capacitor to the PCB... I remember it being a monster thread.

Buildzoid PCB breakdown 3080FE. Seems Nvidia didn't go cheap, he's impressed with power delivery setup.

I'm seeing people use pig tails/Y splitters for those aib 3 plug 3080's
:eek:

@TNA

If I would have stayed with having a 3090.
It would be on it's way now

Poor deuse, that Titan XP just not cutting the mustard no more is it?

Let’s just say future deuse will be thanking you for being patient and saving that £800. You can use that to buy a 4080 which will no doubt destroy a 3090. Might not have as much vram though

bad idea

mid your psu doesn't have 3 pcie power cables then maybe you need a better psu before you start complaining that your gpu keeps crashing and blame it on poscaps

I think you might have the wrong thread because it hasn't be posted once in here. No surprise you got it wrong though, story of you life being wrong on OCUK.

Got my msi rtx 3080 ventus.

Didn't have much time with it. Took a while to drain and rebuild around the GPU. Still waiting for a compatible water block.

Anyway, played modern warfare for an hour or two. No crashes at all.
