@@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 😊
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.
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.
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
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.
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
I didn't realize the PCB only takes up half the length of the card. Those coolers are deliberately overbuilt to convince people that the $1600 card is "worth it" cuz I mean... _"it's huge!"_
Any chance you could update the shopping list to include power supply, watercooling supplies, etc.? Would greatly appreciate seeing those in the description!
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. 🤔
Are you going to tear apart your FE too, or just swap it out for the one you already did on the test bench? I'm very curious to compare. I'm running an nh-d15 on my 13900k since air cooling makes more sense for my constant heavy workloads, but I'm pretty sure the cramped space between the cpu fan and 4090 FE reduces cooling. As I type this though I'm realizing the water block probably only reduces thickness such that there is more room below the gpu, not above it in the direction of the cpu.
@@bradhaines3142 Shorter doesn't gain me anything significant. The issue is how close the card sits to the cpu cooler. Again though I realized the water cooled gpu won't improve that.
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.
Is there solutions of 4080 4090 already with installed waterblock for custom loop? Dont like idea to buy expensive card and expensive waterblock and then just have non used original aircooler
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!
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?

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!

The gigabyte xtreme waterforce is the same size
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.

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°?
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.
Great video. I was getting bothered about overgrown GPUs recently.
Add the radiator to the mass and its not small..
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
Interesting! Can’t wait for the full build video.
Love the builds and the video quality!
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
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.
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.

Agreed. Absolutely tiny in comparison.
that's just how big the pcb is, all the size in cards has always been the cooler.
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.
I don't know which is more voluminous; your hair or your muscles.
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.
good luck with the build, looks insane already
I'm a nerd and I thoroughly enjoy this channel! Cheers 🍻
Man this water build is going to be so aesthetically pleasing
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^^
Your content is top notch ! Keep it up Ali !
3:29 - Shave his head and you have .... Jeff Bezos! holy crap! :-P

Can’t wait to see the build you make with this
The size comparison to founders 4090 is absolutely mind blowing
5:44... is that smoke above the bottom right intake fan? left side pc
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 :)
man, I love your content. Cant wait for that T1 V2 water cooling build!
Will this thing fit in an Ncase M1 or will the power connector come out the side?
I‘m actually pretty happy with my 3080TI setup in my dan case but now you have my full attention 😂
*_NVIDIA: The way it's meant to be cooled_*
You make it all seem so easy. Excellent work and excellent editing. Best wishes.
This is what the Founders Edition should look like.
I am looking forward to this heavily. I plan on doing the same thing but for the 4080. Also optimistically waiting for price drop.
where can someone get one readymade?
I'd love to get one without the hustle of purchasing seperate parts and trying to install it
Was this upgrade ever done?
Your channel has the coolest stuff and well introduced!

Future video:
Pulls out deck-of-card sized box. “This is the worlds smallest triple 8K 77 inch monitor setup”
This is super cool. Looking forward to the finished build
Ah yes the dilemma of easy breezy zero maintenance air cooled setup vs WC.
whats the time line on building with this card?
I can't wait to watch the next video of this project when you actually put the liquid cooled gpu in your main system !
Anyone know the name of the EK enterprise water block for the 4090 he mentioned @3:25?
2:24 got me fked up, thought someone knocking 😂😂😂
I wouldn't want to sacrifice the warranty for this

Always well spoken, succinct information with excellent video. Thanks!
Never realised how large the stock cooler was compared to the circuit it was cooling
mygod this is insane !! well done
When’s the build vid coming
this camera quality is better than my eyesight...
Babe wake up OT posted
4:30 The temps are so low,even the fans doesn't spin. 😁
looks like a ridge wallet! super cool
What is the hanging black and tan lightbar as seen in the start of the video? Looks amazing!
2:08 not so sure about how this thermal paste was spread. I think there is room for improvement.
Is that waterblock plug-and-play or do I need to buy other accessoroes for it?
I will make sure do this when I get my 4090 in 10 years. Cheers 🥂
nah u can get it in 2 years
Yeah when you install that 4090 in your main rig, maybe time to send me that RTX 3090, bud.
this used to be the normal size for graphicscards

Does it fit for 4080? Have you tried it or seen anyone do it looking for info for a future upgrade.
Did he ever watercool with the gps in case?
Wheres your video using it, too bad the TDP is too much to dissipate for ITX cases...
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 🤔
Maybe update your SSUPD water-cooled build with this? 🤔
wait where did you get those wifi antennas from for your current build?
0:02 "its not even that much smaller"
0:07 "...oh"
Glad you like it, I am kinda proud of it.
At some point, it will come with water cooling by default, because it will be cheaper and viable than those increasingly big radiators.
Why haven't you used contact cpu frames at all?
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.
That looks quite cool ! Hopefully someday I'll dare to make some watercooling GPU.
World's tiniest 4090 without cooling, in reality with cooler it's actually bigger lol

how big difference is to suprim x AIO 4090 ?
1:30 There's your 4090. Damn. Without all that metal, it looks and weighs as much as just about any GPU.

but i like how small it is!
That's a pretty important benefit
I mean since its that small, does it still need extra RGB fans for cooling? Because I was gonna install in my mini tower PC case.
i see a block on their site that has the water tubes in the normal spot on the block also not at the end
2:15 Manual focus bro! You got the top-down, just get rid of AF. Interesting video btw.
Crazy to see that earlier we used to do videos about world's biggest GPUs and now on tiniest ones.
People sure move on
