World's Tiniest RTX 4090 (liquid cooled)

[@wantsomecoffe]

It's insane how small the card actually is. Makes it even more insane how big the air cooling solution is.

[@fynkozari9271]

@@MV-ri7zu it's more about principle. Save energy save the planet. Also efficiency. In the future your gpu only needs 20watt to play 4k 240fps. While AmD is working on an integrated gpu equivalent to rtx 3050.

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 disagree it’s not unreasonable. This is more optimal. This is what PCs should be. 😌

[@SabaZee]

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.

The cooler was designed so multiple video cards could be stacked for bitcoin mining, that now no longer in demand we can expect video cards to get cheap or at lease at reasonable prices again.

[@ms3862]

The gigabyte xtreme waterforce is the same size

[@thorstel531]

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.

[@thelittledetailscr7231]

Nice which card?

[@AthenesWrath]

what's your water temps?

[@RichmondMensah]

your ambient must be chilly..

[@SuperDonez]

What is the difference vs air? Would've been nice to have that info on this vid as well.

[@turohabaneero]

Your home is below 18°?

[@MrEstarion]

I'm sad/happy that all this effort still puts you within like 10 degrees of MSRP 4090s. The overengineered coolers slap this gen.

[@broomhandel3960]

Overengineered or just ridiculously huge?

[@alexstromberg7696]

but this is almost 100% silent.

[@sebbo3810]

@@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.

[@2013TombRaider]

@@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 😊

[@8traceur90]

You forget that they are much quieter, you are paying for that luxury not just performance

[@iOakTree]

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.

[@Iamkaden]

It looks slick. I love that they kept it simple, no RGB. Great review!

[@ojassarup258]

Really interested in seeing performance, noise, thermal comparisons between the air cooled and water cooled versions of your build!

[@hex7332]

Great video. I was getting bothered about overgrown GPUs recently.

[@sidewinder86ify]

Add the radiator to the mass and its not small..

[@snow_hound8026]

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!

[@nolemon_]

shill

[@paddyblack-exe]

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.

[@rampageblizzard]

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.

[@fynkozari9271]

I prefer the thin gpu like liquid cooled, but without liquid. Technology isnt there yet.

[@Saarnash86]

Interesting! Can’t wait for the full build video.

[@seun1236]

Can't wait to see the first solid state cooled graphics card. Frore Systems airjet demo looks good.

[@cliverosfield69]

I saw it too, but it's just for ultabook CPUs for now and they're not that efficient

[@bryanalves8393]

Love the builds and the video quality!

[@avz7448]

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.

[@pwd1134]

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

[@zaidlacksalastname4905]

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

[@NathanHedglin]

Agreed. Absolutely tiny in comparison.

[@bradhaines3142]

that's just how big the pcb is, all the size in cards has always been the cooler.

[@60atrws44]

This is the first time I’m leaving my card alone, the stock cooler on the 4090 is amazing

[@smaller_cathedrals]

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.

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’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.

[@AlejandroMartinez-cl4kk]

@@Safetytrousers The cards themselves are already stupidly expensive already anyways.

[@MJSGamingSanctuary]

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.

[@ToMmY-lt7dw]

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!

At some point, it will come with water cooling by default, because it will be cheaper and viable than those increasingly big radiators.

[@okdudewhyareyoulookingatmych]

i can already imagine the very small but stupidly powerful pc builds possible with this

[@Winkmyster]

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.

[@geodescent]

Can you get these pre-assembled?

[@Aphos-yw9wx]

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.

[@guilhermezaruvne5060]

The hot liquid that comes out of the GPU cooling block goes directly to the CPU cooling block, only then reaches the radiator. Doesn't this affect the CPU cooling?

[@Leosalvaje_]

I think all the liquid shares the same temperature, but i don't know certanly

[@PatrickTG]

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.
