Nvidia rtx 3090 discussion

If you have a 3090 without watercooling, you are just a filthy casual

I legit cannot find a block for my FTW3U.

I do that. I have a 120 Noctua industrial though. Running a benchmark now to see how the temps are as I don't pay attention most of the time.

Great idea, I was skeptical a 120 mm would fit neatly but it does since the card is 138 mm wide. Temps seem to have dropped by 10c and it's a low noise Antec two cool so no noticeable change in noise floor.
Update: Steady state diference seems to be more 4-6c but anything is welcome.

They also make spot fans which you can bend around. But yeah I’m doing the same on my Aorus Master

I'm planning on slapping a waterblock on it, with a 420+360+240 radiator setup, so heat load isn't an issue, its mostly down to how fast the waterblock can get the heat out of the die and into the three radiators of water. So I'm thinking beyond 500w is fine, 1000w may be a stretch on water but 600-750?

The xoc 1000w bios disables all overcurrent protections and is not recommended for anything but ln2 benching. Just a word of caution.

Yeah, I may not do that. I just want something that allows me to run into silicon limits before power limits.

Hey, you could try undervolting and seeing what kind clocks you can get?

Not exactly what you wanted but worthwhile nonetheless.

Got the 3090 FTW3 Ultra installed. Hybrid kit is on the way.

Heh... he went Full Rainbow.

FINALLY have some movement on my order from China.

^^ Only 6 more weeks to go!

Seriously though, that's the one thing I hate about ordered anything via ALI. I've had some things arrive in less than 3 weeks.... or take up to 10 weeks.
And some things simply never arrive - luckily they've been good about refunds. Hopefully you got a good price for it! Would probably have arrived faster
via an Amazon reseller, but I bet at a higher price: https://www.amazon.com/Bykski-Coverage-Backplate-Founders-N-RTX3090FE-X-V2/dp/B08P2T3DXB

Yeah $105 vs $190. I ordered a few things at the same time that already showed up. I think I missed them shipping it because of Chinese new year.
