Some back story: I used to own a Gigabyte GTX 1050 Ti and an EVGA GTX 1050 Ti SC; they were both single-fan. The Gigabyte card had 0dB mode but the EVGA card didn't. So I tried flashing many VBIOS to the EVGA card to see if I could stop the fan. There was one BIOS that made the fan completely silent during idle, but when the temperature rose, the fan got stuck in spinning at 100% until I shut down the PC. As mentioned in the last video, I flashed some BIOS from different cards to this mini RTX 3060 Ti but none worked. I thought that MSI was similar to EVGA which they locked the fan speed via the BIOS, so I grabbed this cable in order to control the fan with my motherboard. However, MSI did a big brain move by using a fan with a minimum speed of 1200 RPM. This is why the video is a complete failure :))
Have you considered zip tying noctua fans directly to the heatsink and ditching the stock fan? You might get way better temps with less noise. To be able to really tell if there was improvement you might want to temporarily remove your undervolt when comparing stock to new fans. 73 Degrees is a really good result but its just not hot enough to reveal once the heatsink is bottlenecked/saturated
@@PokerFaZe Hy. I am thinking o getting the 3060ti aero itx and the 3070 fe, and puting the 3060ti aero fi's heatsink and fan on the 3070 fe, this ould be the stongest config, that would fit in an aunder 180mm long 2 slot gpu space case.
You should try phase-change material Honeywell PTM7950. It comes in as a sheet, lasts longer, performs works better than traditional pastes and there is no pump-out effect. For the power section (vrm) and vrams, I advise you to apply thermal putty Upsiren UX Pro. It is also a good idea to do undervolting.
I love itx form factor (motherboard & GPU) and I also love to watercool GPU & motherboard, sadly, currently no available Waterblock for msi RTX 3060 Ti aero itx, this GPU is very good to be paired with any itx board ❤️❤️
I just wish these cards were available in the US. Best case, I'm importing one for $1000 and that is not acceptable when I already have a gigabyte 2070 itx card. $500 sure. Not $1000. But these cards are the only ones that will fit in my PC so I'll just have to hope next gen there are finally some good dual slot itx cards available.
Terrific video Poker FaZe 🥰👍🥳! I always love your content. As a multiple Mini-ITX pc owner and builder, I love these ITX single-fan GPUs and appreciate the engineering and design that goes into them. I current have an ITX RTX3060 from PNY and it remains fairly quiet even under load and only gets between 65-75c under intense gaming loads which is quite impressive to see for such a compact design. Keep up the great work 🥰🥳👍🤩
I've tried them all on my i7 4790 Dell Optiplex 9020MT and 650 watt PSU with 32gb HyperX Ram at 1080P resolution on 60hz. monitor I own. Originally came used with a GTX 750 Ti, then I upgraded to GTX 1050 Ti, then 2 years later a GTX 1650 Super, now a year later...after much research figuring the max performance on this Dell could be with using a GTX 1070 so I just ordered the MSI Aero ITX GTX 1070 8Gb GDDR5 single fan but premium cooling and quality reviews.
Would love a 3060ti in ITX form factor. However they are impossible to get. A decent 3060ti costs £500-£600 in the UK whereas the aero model costs £800 and only comes from Japan with a 1.5 month lead time. £800 is more expensive than a 3070ti
Sir the extra thermal pads you placed was on (inductors) which wont get that hot and are not really important to cool.... You shouldve placed them on the 4 tiny chips behind the inductors which are called memory vrm(its a 2 phase memory vrm)... Please next time you disassemble it, put some thermal pads on the aforementioned chips
What about thin copper shims on the memory itself? I seen a vid not too long ago about a 3080 getting it. Dropped the memory temps by a decent margin. Also- I will say, MSI did a far better job with this card than EVGA did with the 2060. Mine is the same form factor in length and height. But, takes up a third slot. And upon looking at it's cooling solution. I found it had only 3 heatpipes. Which were far shorter than those found in this card.
I use it for gaming and I am not too sure how to undervolt because there are a lot of videos with different ways.@@PokerFaZe The highest temps under gaming load would be 78 c package and 90.7 c hotspot
@@PokerFaZe i heard from video your undervolt settings for freq(MHz) = 1835MHz and Voltage(mV) = 865mV. What is your settings for memory clock(MHz) and fan speed (%)?
i already try your settings and it crash when loading to game menu. currently i'm using this settings Power Limit 60% Temperature Limit 80% Fan Speed 80% Temperature reduce to 77°C but need to sacrifice FPS 🥲 Any suggestions to do with my gpu?
Id love to get one but theyre only available in china and still a bit overpriced. Id pay a premeium but not 200 over a big premium already. Ill just undervolt it if I do get one. My 2070 aero will hold me over for awhile at least.
Why do people keep recommending liquid metal? At best, that will temporarily give you good cooling assuming everything goes perfectly. But it's very risky. Kryonaut Extreme will get you within 1-3 degrees of LM but will keep its performance and never have to be replaced for the life of the card because it is non-curing. Best option by far.

Thanks for the video, I appreciate all the useful testing you've done with this card. Have you thought about doing a Noctua Fan Swap Mod to it?
@@Splootyy do you think it will fits this graphics card?

This is a nice tear down video for people who needs it in the future. Thanks!

@@PokerFaZe does it have sli?? I wonder how 2 x 3060 would do vs 3090
Awesome vid, would 1.5mm thermal pads be ok?
Thanks very helpful.

I think u can mod adding heatsink at that backpanel

samsung or hynix memory?
Thank you for the video. I am looking to do this maintenance on my card, should i buy a 1.75 thermalpad or follow what you did?
If you can find a good 1.75 thermalpad, you should get it, compressing manually is not very consistent.

HEY POKER, WHAT'S THE VERDICT ON THE VIDEO CARD AFTER 2 YEARS?
It's still good, though I'm using the 4060 atm
What were your temperatures before the undervolt? My 3060 aero itx reach 78c underload and should I repaste thermal paste or not
Just undervolt before opening the card, but 78 is fine.
I use it for gaming and I am not too sure how to undervolt because there are a lot of videos with different ways.@@PokerFaZe
The highest temps under gaming load would be 78 c package and 90.7 c hotspot
my 3060 ti aero reach 89°C when playing forza horizon 5. should i replace thermal paste and thermal pad?
currently using D19 pro and 144p monitor
Try undervolt it, you don't need to replace
@@PokerFaZe i heard from video your undervolt settings for
freq(MHz) = 1835MHz and Voltage(mV) = 865mV. What is your settings for memory clock(MHz) and fan speed (%)?
1920MHz at 875mV
No settings for memory
My max fan speed is 90%
i already try your settings and it crash when loading to game menu.
currently i'm using this settings
Power Limit 60%
Temperature Limit 80%
Fan Speed 80%
Temperature reduce to 77°C but need to sacrifice FPS 🥲
Any suggestions to do with my gpu?
Dank, that's a lot of power limit, I did not touch the slider at all, only fiddled with voltage and MHz
Maybe I missed it but you need to include the ambient temp otherwise the numbers are meaningless
Yeah, I totally forgot to put that in the video, but my room temp is ~23°C. The whole thermal pad stuff was quite distracting.
Id love to get one but theyre only available in china and still a bit overpriced. Id pay a premeium but not 200 over a big premium already. Ill just undervolt it if I do get one. My 2070 aero will hold me over for awhile at least.
.
yeah, buying a single fan card and then caring about good thermal paste lol
Who doesn't?
Just use liquid metal bro.. No benefit by using old school thermal paste.
Nah, that's too messy and overkill, I am done with lm 😁
Why do people keep recommending liquid metal? At best, that will temporarily give you good cooling assuming everything goes perfectly. But it's very risky. Kryonaut Extreme will get you within 1-3 degrees of LM but will keep its performance and never have to be replaced for the life of the card because it is non-curing. Best option by far.
