Everything is working except for the RGB on the backplate. @MorosEros Finned backplates would sell like hot cakes to miners for 3090, 3080, 3080ti, and 3070ti series cards, which run crazy hot mem temps. I traded my 3090 ftw3 for a tuf 3080 + cash with a swapper in hardwareswap. I understand it's super hard to get a 3080 so these prebuilts are throwing in any 3080 they can get but that's just unacceptable.

Might be a little late, but the 3080 Ventus uses a graphene backplate to increase passive thermal conductivity, and therefore cooling. This card lacks backplate thermal pads, for whatever reason, so the addition of some on the back of the card might play a big part of the results. An active backplate is, strictly speaking, not COMPLETELY useless on the 3080/Ti, as it still will help dissipate heat from the front PCB mounted VRAM that is seeping through the PCB itself, but it's going to be a fairly minor improvement compared to 3090s with VRAM modules on the back of the PCB. I don't know for sure but I suspect that's about as good as you can get without swapping to full liquid with an active backplate.
