Memory temperature issues in 3080/3090 - Great idea, who will check first? ) #295

Speculation: Memory temperature issues in 3080/3090 are increased by physically contiguous DAG file loading in GDDR6X chips, distributing the DAG file would give thermal improvements

As far as I know, on the physical level, memory is striped over all chips - this is how faster bandwidth is achieved.

Implementing any kind of spacings could actually create reverse effect - getting certain memory chips hotter.

It's a pity if so (And then you have to mine like this for 3090))) image

Closing as this idea is not going to work.
