Leaderboards · Mods

Mods, with regression checks.

Repad, repaste, undervolt, fan-curve A/B. Each entry pairs a thermal claim with a noise figure (or an explicit n/a-with-reason), a perf claim with a power figure, and a quality-regression check — same-workload pass-counts both sides. Single-axis claims invite gaming.

Scoring methodology: v1

Stock-configuration entries are on a separate board: /leaderboards/hardware.

RTX 3090 FE · 2026-04-26 → 2026-05-01

Seller PC (i9-12900KF / 64 GB DDR4 / B760M-A)

Significant memory-junction headroom restored; +29% sustained AI throughput on workloads that fit fully in 24 GB VRAM; no quality regression.

3DMark thermals (Side A → Side B)

Memory junction peak dropped 10 to 16 °C across the three workloads.

Test Side A junction Side B junction Δ junction Δ hotspot Side B power max
Time Spy 100 °C 84.0 °C -16 °C -14.3 °C 350 W
Speed Way 98 °C 88.0 °C -10 °C -7.8 °C 350 W
Steel Nomad 96 °C 86.0 °C -10 °C -8.2 °C 349 W

Quality regression

no regression

Power held flat?

yes

Both sides pinned at 350W cap across all three 3DMark workloads.

Noise (dBA)

n/a

n/a — no calibrated dBA meter on this run; fan curve unchanged between sides.
