Using this block too with Galax 666W BIOS and external MO-RA3. Deltas over water around 18C at 500W and 26C at 650W, which is very good and it typically sits in low to mid 40s on the core after OC, mid to high 30s after undervolt. Overall quality is nice too. I didn't buy it because of size necessarily, this is just what I had available, but still the difference vs air is quite comical due to how small those PCBs really are.
@@alexstromberg7696 You would be surprised how silent the MSRP coolers right now are, since they are so overengineered. Most of them are just overkill and don’t need to have even half fan RPM. The main reason these are getting loud is mostly coil whining, which can’t be fixed by watercooling.
@@garrusvakarian8709I am guessing you ain’t 4090 and haven’t played games at 8k yet otherwise you would know how hot it gets. For example my room that I don’t even need heater in winter 😂 I got asus 4090 strix. Those coolers are super necessary for those like me who super max out stuff 😊
This is awesome! As someone who finds super large cards to be unsightly, this seems like the perfect solution to make the card smaller. I like all my parts to be centered over the motherboard, instead of having this giant long stick poking over the edge of it.
Cool to see waterblock makers put input/output connectors at the end instead of the side of these big fat cards. Could only find waterblocks with input/output on the side before. Phantek also makes waterblocks with the input/output at the end of the block.
The real insanity is how thin it is. The thumbnail didn't show that off. Maybe change it to holding both GPUs to show the thickness difference? It really surprised me
Absolutely! It's insane! I'm running 4k144 at ultra settings and can barely hear the gpu. Apart from size constraints, there's no point in changing the stock cooler.
Can't wait for the main build water-cooling video. As always thanks for the great video, clear explanations and just for being my favorite RUclipsr for PC builds :D
20c junction.... PULL IT.. paste it take your time and heat the parts up.. to help with thermal paste starying warm to help squash... so many cracked chips due to that very reason....
Hopefully they make one for the 4080 as well in this carbon layout. If not I wonder if this WB would fit on the 4080 since the reference pcbs are the same size as the 4090’s. 🤔
I have built 3 of my own computers. 1 when I was 12, a laptop when I was 27, and a desktop when I was 37. My next build will be a water cooled, case labs computer. Yes, case labs is coming back. A guy in Sweden bought the design patents and is in the process of bringing them back to life.
Excited one what youy're gonna do with this Ali (in terms of undervolt/overclock). Those temps are looking real good. I can only imagine what it'd be like under 400w load.
This neat but it's only practical use is in an apsolute tiny ff. With watercooling realistically you want more surface area with more air movement. The idea is to wick the heat away as efficiently as possible.
Any chance you could update the shopping list to include power supply, watercooling supplies, etc.? Would greatly appreciate seeing those in the description!
It really is useless to watercool these 4090's... It wouldn't do to much tbh. My Gygabyte Gaming OC runs 30c idle, and 50-65c while gaming. (OC-d to 3.1ghz, and plus 1600 on the Memory, stable). The only real benefit is that it looks cooler. Great video!

This is why we need to normalize waterblocks, because of increased performance, highly reduced temperatures, reduced size, & less noise. Someone that's a higher up in the tech industry needs to send the word to Nvidia, AMD, and Intel that if they want to have improvements- -without their GPUs being on the edge of exploding, then watercooling is the next generation end game of GPU manufacturing.
I am soo excited to see how you put this together. I'm trying to copy your existing 4090 build but with the new 7800X3D (April release). I have the case and the mobo but holding off on the GPU until I see how you've managed to fit everything together with this new liquid cooled build. The new EK CPU/mobo cooler was just announced for the ROG Strix X670E-I and it looks really good so I'm wondering if I can magic that into what you're able to put together.
It's insane how small the card actually is. Makes it even more insane how big the air cooling solution is.
I like the design, but I still dont like 450w power hog.

actually quite,
I want to build one, one day…i know its hard as hell tho
@@NahBNah and expensive.
I disagree it’s not unreasonable. This is more optimal. This is what PCs should be. 😌
Not unreasonable. It’s pathetic that the likes of Nvidia and AMD aren’t bringing that type of size and cooling innovation at the base level.
That shot of the watercooled 4090 laying on the founders edition alone, makes this vid already worth watching. Nice one dude.
It should be in the thumbnail tbh
I like thin long gpu better, but not thick.
Damn, that's an insanely petite 4090!! Great job Alphacool!

Nice which card?
what's your water temps?
your ambient must be chilly..
What is the difference vs air? Would've been nice to have that info on this vid as well.
Your home is below 18°?
Great video. I was getting bothered about overgrown GPUs recently.
Add the radiator to the mass and its not small..
I'm sad/happy that all this effort still puts you within like 10 degrees of MSRP 4090s. The overengineered coolers slap this gen.
Overengineered or just ridiculously huge?
but this is almost 100% silent.

You forget that they are much quieter, you are paying for that luxury not just performance
As soon as you switched to an air cooled setup, I knew it wasn’t gonna last long 😂. Im super excited to see dual 240’s in that shoebox.
It looks slick. I love that they kept it simple, no RGB. Great review!
Really interested in seeing performance, noise, thermal comparisons between the air cooled and water cooled versions of your build!
You were not lying about the Moddiy silicone sleeve cable being so flexible, I was shocked when mine arrived how it was compared to other cables!
shill
Excited to see how the final water cooled build turns out. Might even try recreating the build (if successful) sometime in the next 12 months.
Interesting! Can’t wait for the full build video.
Can't wait to see the first solid state cooled graphics card. Frore Systems airjet demo looks good.
I saw it too, but it's just for ultabook CPUs for now and they're not that efficient
This is awesome! As someone who finds super large cards to be unsightly, this seems like the perfect solution to make the card smaller. I like all my parts to be centered over the motherboard, instead of having this giant long stick poking over the edge of it.
I prefer the thin gpu like liquid cooled, but without liquid. Technology isnt there yet.
Love the builds and the video quality!

Could only find waterblocks with input/output on the side before.

I don't know which is more voluminous; your hair or your muscles.

Agreed. Absolutely tiny in comparison.
that's just how big the pcb is, all the size in cards has always been the cooler.
This is the first time I’m leaving my card alone, the stock cooler on the 4090 is amazing
Absolutely! It's insane! I'm running 4k144 at ultra settings and can barely hear the gpu. Apart from size constraints, there's no point in changing the stock cooler.

Man this water build is going to be so aesthetically pleasing
Can’t wait to see the build you make with this
You make it all seem so easy. Excellent work and excellent editing. Best wishes.
i wonder what the smallest possible case is available for this, I'd consider building that
For the size the velka v3, for cooling nothing under DAN A4^^
man, I love your content. Cant wait for that T1 V2 water cooling build!
The size comparison to founders 4090 is absolutely mind blowing
I am looking forward to this heavily. I plan on doing the same thing but for the 4080. Also optimistically waiting for price drop.
This is what the Founders Edition should look like.
Your content is top notch ! Keep it up Ali !
Where is that smoke coming form at 5:44?
That’s super cool. I wish we got oem versions like this.

Never realised how large the stock cooler was compared to the circuit it was cooling
I will make sure do this when I get my 4090 in 10 years. Cheers 🥂
nah u can get it in 2 years
this camera quality is better than my eyesight...
Will this thing fit in an Ncase M1 or will the power connector come out the side?
I wouldn't want to sacrifice the warranty for this

Does the small RTX 4090 fit into the NCase M1? Height of the block should be fine from your measurements, but the power cable might be the problem?
I was wondering the same thing,
I was looking for this comment, power cable might be the issue. Maybe someone comes up with one of those 90 - 180 degree power adaptors :)

That thermal paste application though 😱
mygod this is insane !! well done
I can't wait to watch the next video of this project when you actually put the liquid cooled gpu in your main system !
I’ve always wondered why modern cards haven’t turned to this on their own for space savings and performance. These new cards are getting ridiculous
Not everybody wants to watercool, and it's more expensive.
@@Safetytrousers The cards themselves are already stupidly expensive already anyways.

Always well spoken, succinct information with excellent video. Thanks!
Maybe update your SSUPD water-cooled build with this? 🤔
this used to be the normal size for graphicscards
2:15 Manual focus bro! You got the top-down, just get rid of AF. Interesting video btw.
When’s the build vid coming
Glad you like it, I am kinda proud of it.
Did he ever watercool with the gps in case?
that x-shaped retention bracket is really important to prevent premature death of your gpu
What x-shape bracket?
@@Safetytrousers I guess i misunderstood your question. you can see the x-shaped bracket before the GPU was disassembled (backplate side). he did not install that bracket when it was in waterblock mode
whats the time line on building with this card?
Great. Just have to wait 5 years until I can afford it 😁
Does anyone know why the reputable and in-depth reviewers like Optimum Tech and Hardware Unboxed mainly haven't been able to get their hands on the 240hz LG OLED?
You can push pull on one side with slim fans in the formd t1
2x exhaust fans with 1 intake on the right side
At some point, it will come with water cooling by default, because it will be cheaper and viable than those increasingly big radiators.
This is why we need to normalize waterblocks, because of increased performance, highly reduced temperatures, reduced size, & less noise.

Why should GPUs and other accelerators be any larger?
Its great to see Alphacool get coverage for their server stuff too.
Revival of the Ghost case? perfect!
i can already imagine the very small but stupidly powerful pc builds possible with this
You do get cooling with the protective film in place, it's just not ideal.
where can someone get one readymade?
I'd love to get one without the hustle of purchasing seperate parts and trying to install it
Ah yes the dilemma of easy breezy zero maintenance air cooled setup vs WC.
this gon be perfect with ITX builds . GJ as always sir 😤

Great! I'd install a proper sound card with that extra slot!
I am really looking forwards to this build!
I don’t get it - do you dis-assemble the 4090 from its casing and put it into this small block?
Yes. It's for a water cooling system. Instead of pushing air through metal fins it pushes water through metal fins .. And no wait it uses air too 🤔
An excellent solution is to get rid of the heatsink that was made for processors with other nanometers.
4:30 The temps are so low,even the fans doesn't spin. 😁
3:29 - Shave his head and you have .... Jeff Bezos! holy crap! :-P
Oh my God. This is so sick. The FE 4090 look ludicrous in comparison. Either cards get way more efficient or air cooling has to go
