Thank you for this. I just recently got this same card and block, now I have something to compare my temperatures to!

Thanks for your comment 🙏 congrats on the combo and the biggest standout to me about the alphacool block is their change from incorporating several black o-rings into their design, they just used 1 giant o-ring along the edge (so its less noticeable) and using the new chrome finish. It really pops.
Thank you for posting this video. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for your comment 🙏 Thank you for watching and I appreciate the sub! I plan to continue to release and keep improving the videos. The next one will be on the Optimus CPU Signature v3 water block, with a "No frills" build and HK 420 Noctua Mora videos to follow.
Enjoyable content!

Thanks for your comment 🙏 and wow thanks for watching! I hope you stay tuned as I have planned out and working on 5 more episodes on the way.
First time seeing a video where Aquacomputer components are being used. Aquacomputer is a very powerful system. If my card is running in the low 50s I just let her rip.

Thanks for your comment 🙏 It's worth it because that's what I wanted to show. I like all these little Aquacomputer gadgets and how the software works. After a build, it lets me control the loop. It serves as something familiar and repeatable so I am not at the mercy of the motherboard software or other constant-developing solutions. Hope that helps

@@vectornetwork I have AQ components also for my dual loop and like the software and how I can control things the way I want.
Getting this "cheap" 4090 and not going for a Strix or Master allows you to save enough money for a waterblock, in the end a PNY Verto + waterblock will run faster, cooler and more silent than a Strix for the same amount of money (provided you already have a custom loop).

Thanks for your comment 🙏Right on brother, the reference PNY 4090 is 4090 and expect it to run as well as any other. These cards for this specific generation seem to be pushed to the limits and juice already beyond diminishing returns. Whatever the outside looks like, it's a ferrari underneath. An efficient ferrari.

@@vectornetwork Yep, i ended getting a Zotac 4090 Trinity (reference board), powerlimited to 60%. There is a very interesting video about 4090 power limit from Derbauer, basically he said "default power target makes no sense" And i have to agree, i scored 29k+ in superposition 4k optimized for pretty much the same power usage of a 4070ti.
Hello. Another great video! Like it. But! Interesting what a level of lout near PC case, how much FAN's were used on this setup and what FAN's? I think this is a important info. Thanks.

Thanks for your comment 🙏 Do you mean level of noise for the PC? For the fans, I included the info during the coolant fill and also in the graphs. Vertical radiator has 3x Phanteks T30s. These are high performers because they are 5mm thicker than standard fans, so they have an inherent advantage. I wanted the fans to be behind the radiator to exhaust the air out the back. The horizontal radiator has 3x Lian Li SL-Infinity fans. Primarily for looks as several other fans could have performed better. But the silver and white accents as well as the mirrored sides really just goes hand in hand with the design of the build and its right up front and with 2x 360s, the build has some room for looks. For the tests, I ran the fans on an aggressive fan curve. Is that the info you are looking for? Average fan speed and decibels? The cool thing about using the aquasuite software with the octo and coolant sensor is that the temperature under load and also the fan noise can be completely set and customized by the user for their own use case. Hope that helps.

Those major air bubbles in the block would worry me. It looks like a bad design for the water flow and it never fully got the air out of the system. Even though the die stays cool, are the power stages getting cooled properly too?

To be clear, I'm not bashing the video. It was good. I'm just not sure how I feel about the flow path of this block. I'm genuinely interested because I have the same card and am looking for a good waterblock for the reference board

@@dracer35 Thanks for your comment 🙏 Good eye, since I wanted to get footage of the initial fill, there were still a lot of air in the loop. Rest assured that I slowly bled the air out of the loop and over a few days I was able to continue to top off the reservoir until the bubbles slowly dissipated around the flow path. The reservoir is now brimming and the air bubble are just minor and a little up near the top of the waterblock (not around that problematic flow path on the side). There is nearly no air and the coolant doesn't even look like its moving during load. Having said that, I do think that side part of the flow path does seem visually ineffective. From Aquacool's press release on this water block, they specifically mentioned that the altered flow path was an improvement (along with advertising the the new Chrome finish). I do think the Chrome finish is a clear and welcomed upgrade. I am not sure about the altered flow path but I do admit I am by no means a flow expert and/or engineer. As for performance, it performs as expected for a 4090. Efficient, powerful and cool. I can only measure GPU core and memory temps. I am unsure on how to measure VRM on a GPU. If someone can help me with that, I may be inclined to try it. Hope that helps.

@@vectornetwork Could I ask what did you do to bleed the air out of the block? I have the exact same block as per your video at 0.13s and mine has the same massive air pocket top left corner. I have tilted my pc front,back, sideways you name it and let my pump run for 2 days solid with my distro top entry open to get rid of it but nothing seems to working. Seems impossible to get the air out due to the fluird running around the edge and dropping. Even with my pc upside down the air pocket shifts and goes into the loop just to return to exact same spot once stationary. Any info would be appreciated never seen this on any ek or alphacool block i have ever owned

@@MrDjstrauss281 I have the same block in an NZXT H1 and you just have to tilt the computer back and forth in all directions. I got all but one tiny bubble out of the block in about half an hour. The block is great, he just didn’t bleed it enough to begin with. Afterwards you can see the air bubbles are pretty much gone.
Do you have a list of all aquacomputer parts in your loop that you can share here?

Thanks for your comment 🙏 In this loop? Sure thing, its only a few items. Aquacomputer Quadro controller Aquacomputer High flow 2 sensor Aquacomputer Temp sensor The high flow 2 will measure the Flow and the Coolant. It plugs into the Quadro controller. The temp sensor will measure the ambient air temperature. It also plugs into the Quadro. Hope that helps.

@vectornetwork thank you. Very helpful. I was told just getting the aquacomputer flow meter will work but not a complete aqua setup. that's why I asked for all the parts in your loop for better understanding. Thanks again.
great video! btw, may I know the coolant temperature when the build is at full load? I'm curious about the delta T that this new alphacool waterblock can provide
Hey man, quick question. Is this block also compatible with the Uprising RTX 4090 PNY model? Regards from Argentina.
Interesting as always ! What tool are you using for deburing tubes ?
