Just coming to the end of completing my first build, had a few issues but crossing them off as I go. Was just configuring and testing my motors and had the smoke stopper plugged in. When I jam the throttle a bit, it trips. I asked AI about it, and it said this is normal with props off but I just want to get some human reassurance that I'm good to go before I fry this thing on my first flight.
Hey everyone!
At my work a few years ago I built a render machine, it has 3 3080 Turbos. We used this setup for a good while, and only recently the cards have been screaming, even on pretty small jobs.
I took all the cards out to check them for dust, and they look fine. I tried one card in the machine at a time, and they got to 90 degrees and were screaming. Do you think the cards just got fried from running too hot so often, or maybe they need new Thermal paste applied?
wondering if we should look into fixing our current cards or look into just getting a single 5090 if it works with our current specs.
let me know what you'd do.
,Here's our current setup.

AMD Threadripper 1900X 3.8 GHz 8-Core Processor
