    I'm babying my 3090 like its the last GPU on earth. Undervolted, TDP way down, clockspeed capped, fans RUNNING.

    It will never see 420W again.

    Make sure you can get replacement fans before you abuse them

    I can! It’s an EVGA FTW3.

    Even if I couldn’t, it’s ducted to the side of an SFF case, so I could just disconnect them, wire the PWM lead from the GPU and use 120mm case fans.

    The card rarely goes above 300W now and ingests ambient air, so the fans hardly spin up anyway.

    9070xt will run circles around it for $630 or so.

    There's certainly CPU options out there for high fps gaming on ddr4 rigs, I just feel bad for the guys still on ddr3 who can't eat the extra ~400 needed for a proper rig nowadays.
