We want to build some water cooled PCs with the RTX 3090, but just how small of a radiator can we use and still have reasonable temps?

I would have loved to see more data like coolant temperature and GPU powerdraw.
This is beyond dry. Lol very educational but my God this is so dry
Wow MicroCenter. I remember walking in to their Lane Ave. Store circa fall of '84 and talking w Baker.
always make a push pull system with a radiator 120 mm
Wheres the coolinator
So what about the backplate temp in the other test?
*relative thiccness*
I would make a "out of stock" comment but we really shouldn't want a 2000$ graphics card in stock at all. The time of the rope will come for you "Influencers" and I personally can't wait.
How on earth do you tell what the GPU memory temps are instead of just the GPU core...... cannot find any program to tell me.
THERE'S A VISE 2 FEET BEHIND YOU ALEX! It hurts me every time you work on something that should have rigidity and those damn clamps that are made for wood working are used. Get some soft jaws and hold stuff properly please! But I almost think you're doing it to troll everyone. You get a better finish, less effort is used, and less time is taken when work is rigid, and you're a really smart dude, so I am leaning towards this being an ongoing joke for us shop guys to get triggered over. If so, you got me!
Has anyone noticed that the 3090 has 3x 8 pin connectors or the same as a 24 pin motherboard connector
Meanwhilee trying to cool my intel hd 6000 graphics
Half of the 3090 stock that's left is in his hands. Don't drop it.
if you can afford an rtx 3090 you should be able to afford 9 fans on your case
Who cools their 3090 with a custom loop and then uses an aio? Should have tested in the same loop so the data was actually useful
Why would you want smaller pocket bulge?
sooo you’re supposed to cool your gpu?
GME stock
Some water temperature readings would have been nice... I can‘t imagine the water to be at a reasonable temperature in the one fan and maybe also the two fan setup.
what app are you using there for the smart fan controls? Is that just the bios or an app?
Hey Linus can you test one of the 30 series hybrid cards?
I accidentaly put it at 1.25x, but it wasn't actually too bad
Is a triple sensível if you also have a cpu waterblock?
*opens video* Me: Don’t hold it like that Linus: Touches fan Me: *aggressively shits myself*
1:29 rtx dirty naughty
Half the comments be like : AYO WAS THAT PUN INTENDED 1:55 and the other half : Damn bro I thought y'all were cutting off the card not the block I had a heart attack
People I need to tell you something thing Me:this is the Linus is f Linus tech tips gunshot heard in a alley way
10:01 me after a disappointing tinder date
must i replace the backplate of a card when putting a waterblock on? or can i use the stock backplate? wondered for a while now haha
even I did see that gpu will not contact with the block from here while watching...
man, those are some big hoses lol. my water coolers don't have anything nearly that large
i like how i can't even buy one because out of stock and he already water cooling one. feelsbad
A single RT core of that GPU is more powerful than my all in one
I have a 3090, 3 thick radiators (two 360s and a 480) but still waiting on my waterblock ahhahaha
EK NEED to release their 3090 FE edittion waterblock...please, i want one XD
Someone sticking scissors into the water pump to get rid of the bubbles on the left 11:14
thanks for the video
just dunk it in dielectric water and call it a day.
Woken in a nutshell
you could tested tripple with push and pull and see if that made a diffrence :)
For the folks that never water cooled ba video card before video cards when water cooled with a full cover GPU block become completely different animals they aren't like CPUs at all because they don't have an IHS on the die It's die directly to water block or heat sink And even with the biggest of heat sinks GPUs create a lot of focused heat And that's where full cover water blocks shine the most and That's why when you water cool a video card you can expect the temperatures to be cut in halfgraphics cards and water are like chocolate and peanut butter they're a match made in heaven
Mmm, Reese's
if i buy a big radiator like that with no air flow i would cut a hole
I bet that FLIR camera is worth more than most people pay for a brand new car.
My 3090 rotec card will idle at 23c then after 10mins of gaming, boost clock around 1875mhz. Temp at 65c with a triple slim EK rad (it's on it's own loop) do you have magic water or something lmao
Likewise, new high res games don't see a lot of CPU, soooooo don't render movies on 6 cores in the the background wile playing Cyberpunk and you are probably going to be ok.
@LTT why do i get such bad 2d passmark scores on my 3090 on windows 10?, i got a 10850k 32gb of ram on a rog max XII and any suggestions would help. All my other scores are in the 90th place percentile....
Can you do a tutorial on how to actually buy one of these ?
What about 3090 and threadripper all on a 4 fan think boi???? (I would go ahead and say a 16 or 24 core)
So I just ordered an EVGA 3080 FTW3 and I was looking at the pictures... This bitch needs THREE 8 PIN PCIE PLUGS! :( shit... Guess I'm replacing my 650 watt psu with a 750 or 850 that has more pcie power plugs.
1:55 Pun.
that water cooled card looks like the future
Can Canada have some microcenters please
So, you mean to say that my dreams of getting 3x 360mm rads for a 5800X and a 3080 should really remain dreams? And, that I should probably only have 2x 360mm rads? :( Okay fine, I'll go with 2x 360mm then.
“I’ve never been so excited to take something apart” he says while holding a 3090 and there’s me looking at my 650
Get a job
Awesome
1:53 "Best case scenario" ...I see what you did there
3:01 FINALLY SOMEBODY AT LTT WHO SPEAKS OUR LANGUAGE
and i put 3 480er Radiator in my Case for my Rtx 3090 and my AMD R9 3900xt maybe it is a litte to much 😅🤣
We dgaf you can't buy these stop talking about the 30 series
Ooh what case is that? I've been in the market for a new one and I really like the looks of that one.
AGANEST
just got the 3090 trinity
Future proofing you say. I have 2 quad-rads in my rig. One for the cpu and one for the gpu just because they fit in my massive fish tank. They will be passed down for generations to come. lol
I think Linus got a hair cut
Amazing frame rate, sadly the human eye can only see "out of stock"
I got a 3090 😁
Most accurate 3090 comment ever.
lmaoo underated
Alex got some serious bulge
My sli rtx 2080ti founders edition cards get about 33 degrees Celsius.
The comment above me IS MEGA GAY
Funny video it was. I have installed EKWB-block to my Asus rog strix RTX3090 and it works perfectly and block fitted as always, perfectly. I hate cutting thermal pads, otherwise installing block went quite easily. I use 2 radiators (35mm and 24mm) both with 2 fans. Overclocked to 2050MHz, card heats up to 66°C when overstressed using furmark-bench.

Nice sized hot plate for bacon grilling or baking salmon etc.
Hi I'm the verge guy and you are doing that wrong.
This guy don't know how to apply thermal paste.
whats the temps when radiator mounted inside case?
can i be your son plz
Can’t wait for the day when you have to water your pc like a plant
(1x 120mm radiator for about 150w of heat and 1x 140mm radiator for about 200w of heat) and u should be fine
Protip: Use a vinyl glove to spread the thermal paste with your finger. Easy and no mess...one of many ways to apply it.
Why you need for yours RTX3090 3x pins of 8. my card need only 2 pins of 8.if the diference of electricity USA 110~120 Volt - Europa (Germany-Austria) 220~230 Volt!?
where can you get a gpu for 175$ let alone a pretty decent one???
9:44 . The Subtitles Say 10 ADTI . Instead Of 1080ti
where's linus? what happen to him?
So happy for linus that he is happy what he does now been watching him for 5+ years
4:15, confirmed, LTT Group are not real people
Will that EK-Quantum Vector Strix RTX 3090 fit in the O11 Dynamic XL? I know for the non XL variant, the side panel won't go on. I've ordered the XL hoping that the extra centimeter will allow the side panel to go on. Can you guys test it and let me know please?
Half of the video is Riley admiring the card.
Wait just a minute there Linus, you just said the rez and pump combo was good at removing bubbles due to vortex mambo jumbo 6:04 but at the 11:13 mark, we clearly see someone stabbing it with a pair of scissors to remove bubbles. Essplain please! Also I'd like to segway into begging for a PC even though you just gave one away and said you wouldn't ever do it again. Pretty please I have a dying goldfish and it was his last wish.
I've got no problem with cooling 3090 or 3080, or 3070, actually also 3060 Ti, 6800 and 6800XT... oh and even PS5
jesus that aircooled asus card is YUGE
i jumped when linus started talking again
this was the best sponsor segway intro LOL
Still, if you can go for 14cm fans and corresponding radiators, it will be a better choice than 12cm fans and corresponding radiators.
yo the watch code has the word AIO in it lol
3:44 which music?
Just rigged one last night to a 120 slim with 2 fans push pull gaming 2k ultra 60 @ degrees
@1:51 You forgot the dad stare after, "you want best case scenario."
Not very practical. Show me a video where they can actually fit that in a case because it appears impossible for him to put the side panel on with that installed.
"we returned from lunch to find our machine blackscreened and unresponsive" 😬
4:02 oooo god have mercy, I can’t even get my card and you guys are destroying one😭😭
Its complicated because all content creators have all 30 cards that Nvidia made
