    Great video ! Best on youtube! I recommend buying a used graphics card (which will be rebuilt to "new"). This can save you as much as four hundred dollars, so the additional cost is canceled. It is actually cheaper to watercool if it encourages you to buy a used graphics card particularly if you stick with the card for a few years.

    10% OC increase is massive. I got a none OC edition and got that and nobody believes me! Everyone keeps saying naw 3% but thank you for showing even you did. I mean ive has games get 10 to 14fps gains at times. Nothing to sneeze at. One major reason to buy asus if you want that edge. Its already winning by like 2 to 3fps on average then you get a 10 to 14fps gain if you get a good one? Yeah my 4080 super on cyberpunk 4k ultra gets 72fps instead of 61-62 like most 4080 supers. Thats a nice gain.

    Watercool makes some of the best wateblocks on the market ( probably second only to Optimus Cooling but those are much more expensive ) . The only negative side with them ( much alike Optimus Cooling ) is that they do only offer an extremely limited list of supported GPUs. Most of the time they do only support FE and Strix/TUF , with FE seeing very limited supply and Strix/TUF being most of the time overpriced. Imo this is a big strategic/marketing mistake that for some reason many watercooling companies are making these days. It would at the very least be smart to offer some waterblock covering the reference PCB designs where there is much wider offer of SKUs from partners like Palit , PNY , MSI , Gigabyte etc etc .

    I came across y'all today while searching to see if one could convert the lower priced PNY 4080's with the schitzo fans to liquid cooled. Was not expecting you would speed level my liquid cooling knowledge and wipe away all doubts about making my new build fully liquid cooled. This channel deserves to blow up.

    What are your water temps? Those load temps are very high for a waterblock. My 4090, pulling 500W with an EKWB full cover block, only hits mid-to-high 40's under load. Thats with a water temp of around 32C, so a ~15C delta to water.

    I have been watching all you reviews and I purchased the ASUS RTX 4080 ROG TUF SUPER I didn’t want to fork out $302.00 for the EK water block and I have been one of their devoted customers since 2006 but they really love themselves lately so I watched your review on Bitspower and I really wanted that but couldn’t find it anywhere than I found this one Barrow GPU Water Block for ASUS GeForce RTX 4080 ROG TUF / STRIX GAMING O16G BS-AST4080-PA. What would it take for you to review this water block? I really like your work. Joe

    hello could you please link the thermal pads that you used , you have some excellent results when it comes to temps. i have a nr200 loop with rtx3090 waterforce extreme WB and a i5 13500kf , 2x240 + 1x140, at idle my gpu keeps a core temp of 38degrees and memory of 50 degrees , under benchamark the memory gets to 90 degrees. is that a normal temp?

    Thought I should give the community a little tip. I use a Corsair RM1000x Shift PSU and my PNY 4090 XLR8 had crazy loud coil whine when connected to a Apex Encore motherboard with my RM1000X Shift. I returned my motherboard because I didn't know it lacked integrated graphics before purchasing. I switched to Z790 Dark Hero and kept my same PSU and now my PNY is whisper quiet. I think there is better power deliver components on the Dark Hero vs the Apex Encore.

    Thanks for the video, now I’m going to repaste the gpu because hot spot temps go up to 92 with nearly 28 degrees delta. Do you recommend thermal pad change for the VRMs? I thought I heard 2mm but I’m not sure. Subbed to the channel.

    I'm thinking about doing something like this. I'm running a 5800x and 4090 on two thick ekwb 240mm radiators. Temps aren't too bad at a max of 1200rpm. Hovers in the 70's while being pretty quiet compared to the air cooled version of the build.

    Thank you for uploading this video. It really shows a good way to build your custom loop without spending more than the necessary. I'm planning to do something similar with my system but I may go with 2x360 radiators (I have to cool a 6900XT and a 7800x3d). What's your opinion? Are 2 radiators really needed in this scenario? This is my first custom loop so I'm not really sure. I heard that with 2 radiators I would have a quieter system and that's the whole reason I'm heading this way.

    The thing about such setups involving the niche products based off of high end components is that if you avoid spending the extra money on the bells and whistles edition of everything, couple of years down the line you'll be enjoying a much faster system with just the money you saved. It would be one thing if computer hardware generations leaped in every four years but as things stand you're either robbing yourself of a significantly better experience down the line or you're spending borderline proper workstation levels of money on consumer hardware. Overclocker motherboards come to mind, they are objectively worse than workstation boards in every metric except for bios options for tuning and the average gamer will not benefit much from it until they become obsessed with tinkering and exotic cooling solutions. But these boards cost as much as a workstation board that has more PCIe connectivity, more and faster usb ports, more and faster networking, better power delivery (to feed the HEDT monsters), often come with remote management hardware, lots more storage options etc. Any extreme liquid cooled GPU is the same, it'll just be an additional $600-700 which would probably cover half the cost of a RTX 5080 that will be 50% faster than a heavily overclocked 4090.

    true, the only thing that would be an argument is near silent operation, better operation if you have very hot summers, some people also just like the process and the pieces they create for what they are beyond Pc functionality, why do people spent thousands to make thei car look cooler, same concept

    @@sayit1196 sure, I agree that it's a hobby and people are interested in it for all kinds of reasons. I'm a workstation minded pc builder so my priorities are a little different. I made the mistake of having hardline tubing on a system which was my main work PC, which resulted in a downtime of one day when I had to replace a faulty memory stick. Nowadays, it's separate soft tube loops or air cooling only. To make a car analogy, my point is that a souped up Subaru WRX might cost more than an M3 and it'll be less reliable, less comfortable and might perform only slightly better on the track. The cooling solutions on modern high end GPUs are already overkill, like the 500HP+ engine on the BMW M3, I'd rather spend the money on more luxury than power at that stage of diminishing returns.

    if i may ask , so u pass hot water from the GPU Block to the CPU block , pls i am trying to water cool and trying to understand if i can pass water to the GPU block and return it to be cooled and then the cooled water to the cpu block to the rad and to the tank , and by that do i need a distro plate , also one more question , can i have more than 1 pump in a build ( example of a radiator fan setup that comes with a pump and tank and also distro plate that comes with a pump and tank , is it possible ? ).

    Thanks for your comment 🙏 Agreed. I did qualify when I said the Strix is the best air-cooled card "offered by ASUS", as I was comparing it to their Matrix. The Galax is the best air-cooled 4090. If the Galax had a water block, I would teardown the Galax (to see the PCB, usually they have really customized PCBs) and then put it on the block, to really see how far we can boost it.

    in my mind this is ideal. I always hated gaming room/bedroom heating up because of gaming so if I could run a passthrough through the drywall to a different room that would be the best although now that I think about it I guess I could just pass through mouse keyboard and monitor cable aswell and leave the whole case over there and it doesn't matter. Ether way this thing is sick silent performance is under rated.

    I use cerakote stuff daily, and while there is a cerakote option for thermal transfer, ive seen cerakote fail in moving water environment cases. Nickel plating is generally better in this application because its atomically bonded. Whereas you have to think of cerakote as more of a paint. the parts are sandblasted in a specific way so it creates the right side of peaks and valleys for the cerakote to bond to. But once moving water finds its way under the cerakote then it will still peel or chip like paint. You can also find examples of cerakote plated water blocks that have failed this exact way on various watercooling forums/subreddits

  • @Simon_Denmark

    So over time it can start to flake. I really doubt that Optimus will care if this happens to someone though. Bad nickel plating exists too and starts to flake. Bare copper is the most simple if you don’t care about the tarnishing over time. You can polish it too though.
