Hey guys! I realize this is hard to diagnose online but I was hoping I'd find some helpful suggestions here. I was lucky enough to recently acquire an Nvidia 3080 FE which replaced my 1080. I noticed a slight smell only when gaming under heavy load. My temps seem to be fine (GPU idle 29 gaming 72max, CPU idle 30 gaming 55).I thought the power supply cables and fan cables were heat resistant but maybe not. Neatness was never my specialty and all the wires are kinda bunched up at the bottom of the case where the PSU is . I'm going to do a thorough job of inspecting the cables and dusting today., I have a total of 6 case fans including one mounted on the side panel facing the video card so cooling should not be an issue. I read online its possible the 3080 can give off a funky smell using it for the first time and goes away after awhile but not sure how accurate that is.
Here's what I got :
Corsair Vengeance C70
Asus ROG STRIX Z390-E mobo
Intel i7 9700K
Nvidia 3080 FE
EVGA G2 750W Gold Fully Modular
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3000 16GB (2x8)
be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 cpu cooler
Samsung EVO 970 Plus 1TB M.2
Samsung EVO 970 1TB M.2
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
I should have enough power to handle the 3080. Total wattage should be around 575W which should leave me with enough headroom unless I'm wrong. Any 3080 FE owners out there experience the same thing? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!
