- 350MB of available hard-disk space.
- Memorja tas-sistema ta' 8GB (16GB rakkomandata).
- Internet connection for driver installation and software updates.
4. Setup u Installazzjoni
4.1 Installazzjoni Fiżika
- Mitfi u Skonnettja: Itfi l-kompjuter tiegħek u skonnettja l-kejbils kollha tal-enerġija.
- Kawża Miftuħa: Iftaħ il-kaxxa tal-kompjuter tiegħek biex taċċessa l-motherboard.
- Sib is-Slott tal-PCIe: Identify an available PCI Express x16 slot. Remove any expansion slot covers that obstruct the installation.
- Daħħal il-Karta tal-Grafika: Allinja bir-reqqa l-karta grafika mas-slott tal-PCIe u agħfas 'l isfel sew sakemm tkun imwaħħla sew. Kun żgur li l-klipp taż-żamma jissakkar f'postu.
- Karta Sikura: Fasten the graphics card to the chassis using the screw from the expansion slot.
- Qabbad l-Enerġija: Connect two 8-pin PCIe power cables from your power supply to the corresponding power connectors on the graphics card.
4.2 Liquid Cooler Installation
The EVGA XC3 ULTRA HYBRID GAMING features an integrated All-In-One (AIO) liquid cooling solution. The radiator and fans must be mounted within your PC case.
- Pożizzjoni tar-Radjatur: Identify a suitable mounting location for the 240mm radiator. Common locations include the front, top, or rear of the case, depending on available space and airflow.
- Radjatur tal-Immuntar: Secure the radiator and its two fans to the chosen mounting points using the provided screws. Ensure the fans are oriented to provide optimal airflow (e.g., intake or exhaust).
- Qabbad il-Kejbils tal-Fann: Qabbad il-kejbils tal-fann mal-headers tal-fann xierqa fuq il-motherboard tiegħek jew ma' kontrollur tal-fann.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
5.1 Installazzjoni tas-sewwieq
- Agħlaq il-Kaxxa u Ixgħelha: Close your computer case and reconnect all power cables. Power on your computer.
- Niżżel is-Sewwieqa: Once your operating system loads, navigate to the official NVIDIA websit (www.nvidia.com/sewwieqa) to download the latest drivers for your GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card.
- Installa Sewwieqa: Run the downloaded driver installer and follow the on-screen instructions. A system restart may be required after installation.
5.2 Software Configuration (EVGA Precision X1)
For advanced monitoring, overclocking, and ARGB LED control, EVGA recommends installing EVGA Precision X1 software.
- Download Precision X1: Visit the official EVGA websit (www.evga.com/precisionx1) to download the latest version of EVGA Precision X1.
- Installa Software: Run the installer and follow the prompts.
- Ikkonfigura Settings: Use Precision X1 to monitor GPU temperatures, adjust fan curves, manage ARGB lighting effects, and apply overclocking profiles.

6. Manutenzjoni
6.1 Tindif
Regular cleaning helps maintain optimal performance and longevity of your graphics card:
- Tneħħija tat-Trab: Periodically use compressed air to remove dust from the graphics card heatsink fins, fans, and the radiator. Ensure the system is powered off before cleaning.
- Xfafar tal-fann: Gently clean fan blades with a soft brush or cloth if dust accumulation is visible.
6.2 Sistema ta 'Tkessiħ Likwidu
The HYBRID cooling system is a sealed All-In-One (AIO) unit and does not require user maintenance such as refilling or checking liquid levels. Do not attempt to open or modify the liquid cooling loop, as this will void your warranty.
7 Issolvi l-problemi
Jekk tiltaqa' ma' problemi bil-karta grafika tiegħek, irreferi għall-passi komuni li ġejjin għas-soluzzjoni tal-problemi:
- L-ebda Output tal-Wiri:
- Kun żgur li l-karta grafika tkun imdaħħla kompletament fl-islott tal-PCIe.
- Verify that all PCIe power cables are securely connected to the graphics card.
- Check that your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports.
- Ittestja b'kejbil tad-displej jew monitor differenti jekk possibbli.
- Kwistjonijiet ta' Prestazzjoni / FPS Baxx:
- Ensure the latest NVIDIA drivers are installed.
- Check GPU temperatures using monitoring software like EVGA Precision X1. High temperatures can lead to thermal throttling.
- Verify that your power supply meets the recommended wattage.
- Agħlaq applikazzjonijiet fl-isfond mhux meħtieġa.
- Unusual Noise from Radiator Fans/Pump:
- Kun żgur li l-ebda kejbil ma jkun qed jostakola x-xfafar tal-fann.
- Check fan speeds in EVGA Precision X1 and adjust if necessary.
- If the pump noise is excessive or unusual, contact EVGA technical support.
