Builder limits RTX 3060 to 115W
- A builder throttled an RTX 3060 to 115W for running LLMs, dropping temps from 90°C+ down to 77–82°C while keeping throughput nearly intact. - Throughput fell from 58 t/s to 53 t/s with the 115W limit, a ~9% loss in tokens/sec but large thermal gains and stability. - This shows practical power‑ceiling tuning for small GPUs when hosting models locally to reduce temps and extend lifespan.
