r/EVGA

If anyone has one they’re willing to sell please feel free to dm me. I’m currently trying to get my hands on what were my dream GPU’s when I was a teen.

Been emailing evga (both eu & na) for 2 weeks now. radio silence.

Phone numbers are dead or non responsive and eu site is down out of a sudden.

what's the goto to reach them atp? asking legal for a simple rma request seems too much of a burden imo but atp I dunno how else to get a response.

I have a EVGA RTX 3080 XC3 Ultra. I’ve been using Precision X1 for years now but all the sudden when I play FC it kicks me out because of the driver. Is there an alternate for X1 that’s good? I tried Fan Control by Rem0o but it didn’t detect one fan. Let me know 👍

Edit: I reinstalled X1 and now my GPU reaches high temps when I play games. What did I fuck up.

PC shutting down + apartment breaker tripping
I have an EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 + Antec 750W PSU.
Recently, my PC lost display/no signal while gaming. I suspected the GPU or PSU.
I tested the GPU with FurMark while undervolted and it reached about 69°C without crashing.
But twice now, while the PC was under heavy load:
FurMark → apartment breaker tripped
The Callisto Protocol running for ~1 hour → breaker tripped again
I had to manually flip the breaker back on to restore electricity.
Could this be a PSU/GPU power issue, or is it more likely an electrical circuit/breaker problem? Should I stop testing and have a technician check it?

My card is 6 years old at this point and has been having some temperature issues, so I'm planning replacing the thermal paste and pads. I've figured out the paste for the chip, but I need some help with the pads.

I asked EVGA what sizes I'd need and they sent me this:

Location	Quantity (Pcs)	Length (mm)	Width (mm)	Height (mm)
GPU Area	2.00	53	14	2.25
GPU Area	1.00	13	16	2.25
GPU Area	1.00	38	14	2.25
GPU Area	1.00	77	7	2.75
GPU Area	1.00	110	5	2.50

Unsurprisingly, I haven't been able to find any pads with thicknesses these specific sizes, and it seems neither EVGA nor KriticalPads sells their kits custom-made for this card anymore.

EVGA advised me that I could use thicker pads, just not thinner. I've also seen people recommendung using thermal putty instead of pads, but someone I tried buying putty from advised that anything over 1.5mm should be solid thermal pads.

As you can imagine, this is a lot of information to try to process, so I was hoping to get advice on what I should use and where I should get it from? I'm happy to wait for stuff with longer shipping time, but I can't really afford super expensive putty like the higher end Thermal Grizzly stuff.

Thanks so much for any help! 😊

so i recently bought a gtx 970 from ebay but i dont know if my power supply is enough, i currently have a msi mag A550BN its a 550w bronze rated psu and for the cpu i have a intel i7-8700. lmk if i did something wrong

Hey guys.

So resume is I just bought a 3080ti ftw3 to replace my 3080 12ftw3. I know i know small upgrade but I did see up to 10 fps more on games like Cyberpunk. Little problen is that i got the 3080ti so cheap that if i follow the market and even be bellow here and sell my 3080 non ti well id make a profit.

But a problem arised. Now I can load in windows I can watch videos and etc. I can start a game like Insurgency or Cyberpunk but its gonna crash right at the start or when i press play. It freezes for a bit, screen goes black and pc tries restarting.

Now its not psu because with the 3080ti it works great, its not the drivers I used DDU, and even lowering with MSI the power to 60% it still crashes. I wanna repair and sell but id be my first time going on this what should I be looking for?

Thank you guysq
