Could you run this but with a 7800x3d and 7900xtx on one 240?

[@sebastianmandrean]

@@harvspecial5037 I looked into it, but unfortunately I think the answer is no. The power consumption of the 7800x3d is actually pretty much the same as the 7950x3d, at least during gaming. But the 7900xtx runs pretty hot and only has around ~70W less power consumption in practice than rtx4090; around 350W instead of 420W.

Hey! Hope it goes well for you. Be wary of the higher TDP of the 13700k, they run much hotter than Ryzens, up to 250W under load. But since 4070 has like 200W lower TDP than a 4090, it should be fine I think? If we're talking dual 240 rads. Don't think it's gonna work on a single 240...

[@lhbbq]

@sebastianmandrean - Good CONTENT Now using this block for a few months. Likes, dislikes?

[@sebastianmandrean]

Hey, thanks! Using the setup every day, both for gaming and work. Love it so far. Both the GPU and CPU are kept cool despite heavy loads. What I liked the least is the DDC pump noise. I think DDC pumps in general are noisier? I tuned down the RPM a bit with a pump curve which makes it better. Maybe one could've squeezed in a non-DDC pump somewhere? But I'm okay with it after the curve tweak!

[@lhbbq]

@@sebastianmandrean - Thank you so much! The noise of the DDC pumps is getting consistent for me. Right now I want to see if they have a Modultra 1700 cooler without the pump. And on the side insert a D5 pump. Right now I use a dual D5 pump, and I love it. For as fast they are going, they noise is not an issue. Thank you for sharing and keep up the great work.

Believe it or not, the 4090 PCB isn't that big, it's the massive air cooler that takes up most of the space (6:34) By instead cooling it with a very compact water block, it makes all of this possible (7:25) At 7:33 you can already see it mounted in the case. That black thing with the zig-zag pattern is the 4090 with the water cooler!

[@sebastianmandrean]

Hi! As you can see at 7:27, the only way I could fit the Inno3D rtx4090 into the ZX-1 was by water cooling it with the ultra-compact Alphacool ES block. The air cooler is too big to fit!

What are the thermals like with this puppy under heavy loads?

[@sebastianmandrean]

The loads I've tried are specific to my needs: - VR gaming (F1 22, everything at Ultra High) - Mafia 1 & 2 (4K, highest everything) - Compiling large software projects, running local Kubernetes clusters with 20+ Java services Everything runs fine so far, within spec and no experienced CPU or GPU throttling. Idle temps are low (30Cs). The CPU runs in the 70Cs in Mafia 1 (CPU intensive game) and the GPU in the 50Cs in F1 22 VR (GPU intensive). CPU throttling starts at 89C I think, so lots of headroom with my loads. I haven't tried loads that saturate both CPU and GPU to 100 % at the same time; it's typically high-GPU-medium-CPU or high-CPU-low-to-medium-GPU in my case. Additional tweaks that can be deployed to lower temps; for example lowering the power target to 300W on the GPU can make a huge difference at a small performance loss: - Undervolt the CPU: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIDHoJ-Xfql0es0&pp=ygUPcnl6ZW4gdW5kZXJ2b2x0 - Lower the power target for the GPU kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIDHoJ-Xfql0es0&pp=ygUPcnl6ZW4gdW5kZXJ2b2x0 - Delid the CPU kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5DNkoaVe7-WoKs&pp=ygUMZGVsaWVkIHJ5emVu

Recorded a race here: Graphics @ VR Ultra High. Headset runs at 90 Hz and the rig can keep up with it, no problems (90 fps locked), which is actually really difficult at VR Ultra High. I think rtx4090 is the only GPU currently that can do it at those settings. rtx4080 would drop into the 70s/80s. Temps are stable around 55C GPU, 65C CPU Recorded through OBS with the OpenVR plugin.

what is the reason why you did not go with asus rog rtx 4090?

Since the case is so tiny, I needed to go with the Alphacool ES block if I wanted to squeeze a 4090 in there. But that block is only compatible with certain "reference card designs" like the Inno3D.

Hi man, amazing info, thank you! Thinking about mini render station fo 3dsmax + corona render based on amd 7950x and looking for a small case like lian li dan h20, Meshroom S V2 or other similar. I'm not sure it will be cooled enough, cause i need 24/7 rendering at 4.8-5 MHz all cores and max AIO for those cases is 240mm radiator, means 2x120mm fans. How do you think is it possible to make such a tiny render station? Can I ask you to test your system in Corona 10 benchmark? I would like to know if temperature is fine under 100% load of cpu)) PC assembler i would like to order to assemble my next tiny render station told me that he had 95C on 7950x + arctic 420...

[@sebastianmandrean]

Hi, thanks! Some thoughts: - 7950x runs hotter than 7950x3d. ~215W under multi-threaded loads VS. ~145W. Worth keeping in mind. - Will you only load the CPU, or also a GPU? If only CPU, its absolutely fine with just an AIO, since a 240mm one removes about 250W of heat. Could run 24/7. For 100 % CPU & GPU at the same time, you probably need more than just 2x240mm radiators. - AIO is convenient, but if you want to build a really tiny PC its worth considering a custom loop. Check out the r/sffpc sub on Reddit! - There are many tiny cases that fits 2x240mm radiators, but only if you go custom loop I ran the benchmark and got: Score (rays/s): 12 001 650 CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3d 16-Core Processor CPU Frequency: 4 856,65 MHz CPU Count: 1 Physical Cores: 16 Logical Cores: 32 CPU L3 Cache Size: 96 MB RAM: 63 GB RAM Frequency: 6 000,00 MHz Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

RAM: G.Skill 32 GB DDR5-6000 ASRock Z690 Phantom Gaming-ITX/TB4 SSD: 2TB Samsung 980 Pro M2

[@sebastianmandrean]

Hey! Thank you, happy you liked the build In small builds like this, it's very important to make sure you have enough space to fit your stuff. Research all components, make sure they will fit. Especially the the water blocks, fans, radiators, fittings etc. Even after maybe a month of research, I still had to return some stuff and rethink my approach, because when it's all custom things don't always go as planned. Re: your GPU I would first pick the smallest/slimmest water block you can find (for a particular type of card), then buy a card from a vendor that is compatible with that block. I think for a 3080 Ti I'd consider "Alphacool ES RTX 3080/3090 Reference Copper/Carbon with Backplate". Google it and check the compatibility list on their page! Re: Intel I9 12900K, I would have to warn you a little bit. They run pretty hot under load. I think something like 240W max TDP / 100 C degrees. Some people have tried to dual-rad 12900k + 3090 in some other similarly sized case (Formd T1), and it didn't go so well. 2x240mm just wasn't enough to dissipate all that heat, at least not with a 3090. Afaik 3080 has like 350W TDP or something? Together with the 12900K it's still quite a lot. If I were you, I would look into the much cooler Ryzen CPUs with significantly lower TDP. Some of them have like 65W TDP (Ryzen 7800). My 7950x3d has 120W base TDP, peak 150-160W so significantly lower than say a 12900K. If you insist on 12900K then you will probably at least need to reduce the power target of the 3080 and cut back a bit on the TDP. Check out @optimum's video "RTX 3080 / 3090 Undervolting | 100W Less = Same Performance?" here on KZbin. Actually it's worth checking out regardless :) Rest of the stuff seems fine. Make sure that your RAM is compatible with that particular mobo. The fastest DDR5-6000 sticks are a bit picky with what motherboards they want to run on, so check the compatibility lists online. Oh and get some good PSU. 750W bare minimum but maybe 850W for some extra headroom if you can afford it lmk if you have any other questions! cheers

Do you still recommend this PC configuration, and if you do, are there any drawbacks or considerations to be aware of?

[@sebastianmandrean]

I use it every day, both for work and for gaming. Still works great! I think the 7950x3d gave me some extra headroom at work (software engineering) compared to 7800x3d so I'm glad I went with the beefier option. No issues with temps as explained in other comments. The case is beautiful look at & very high quality, almost like Apple made it, so I can recommend it. Re: drawbacks I think my main ones would be: 1) The DDC pump is quite annoying/loud tbh, I wonder if there are more quite DDC pumps out there. But I set a custom pump curve which makes it a bit better. 2) For controlling the radiator & case fans I use the Aqua Computer OCTO. Great hardware, but the software is Windows only AFAIK.

I have a question, how much did this in total cost you?

[@sebastianmandrean]

Around $5.5K, but maybe 30 % of that is the premium for going SFF with custom CPU/GPU water cooling etc.

[@djchol6720]

The case is Space Grey, right?

[@sebastianmandrean]

Correct! I wanted it to match my space grey MacBook Pro, which it does pretty well

[@jordongee2347]

Wish theyd quit playin around and make that block for ANY other card than the inno. Cmon boys, whos is charge down there?

[@sebastianmandrean]

Yeah its such a great & compact block; a shame they don't have it for other PCB designs. FYI Inno3D recently launched a new product, the "Frostbite Pro" rtx4090, which comes with the Alphacool ES server block pre-installed. Maybe that's an option worth considering!

[@sebastianmandrean]

The EK Pro block might be another option: www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/comments/12b9ceg/stuffing_a_4090_in_louqe_ghost_s1_with_the_new/

Здорова👋🏼 целая проблема купить такой корпус в России, может посоветуешь на каких сайтах такой б/у корпус можно купить в твоей стране?

[@sebastianmandrean]

Hello! It was problematic to buy the case for me as well. I had to use a freight-forwarding service to ship it from Shenzhen to Germany, then from Germany to Sweden. I'm not aware of sites selling used Iqunix cases, sorry. Maybe buying a new one using a freight-forwarding service to your country is the best option?

I’d rather see the performance and less ASMR.

Em... pouring cooling liquid from top of PC with 1 hand into an opened half a bottle. You think this is funny? )

Hang on… an 850w psu?

[@sebastianmandrean]

Yes! Platinum rated Silverstone 850R. Very stable 👌

[@OwenGalaxy]

@@sebastianmandrean for a 4090 and a 7950x3d? that seems like its either over the power limit or extremely close

[@OwenGalaxy]

@@sebastianmandrean The 4090 can pull 450W and the 7950x3d can pull up to 300 if its pushing it and oc, that leaves not a lot of room for everything else

[@OwenGalaxy]

However i absolutely loved the video and u deserve way more views and subs ❤️

[@sebastianmandrean]

@@OwenGalaxy 7950x3d pulls ~150W under all-core max load (stock) and the Inno3D 4090 ~425W. I.e ~575W under max load, so plenty of room with 850W. Anandtech writes: "Given that the Ryzen 9 7950X3D has a lower TDP and PPT rating than the Ryzen 9 7950X, it pulls less power.
