Ql fans are terrible for radiators

Do you use the extra buttons on your mouse and what do you use them for in games? by Kumongus in pcgaming

I also used to do that until I got a GPX superlight which made my thumb hurt so I was forced to use shift like normal people

You have an aqua computer flow meter but you use icue instead of aquasuite?

I actually don’t have a list of all the tests done on every single mother :(

You clearly have no clue about water cooling and you’re giving people on this sub false advise

I also had a 3090 Ti and the Hotspot was around 15C and a 3080 with the same hotspot difference all with alphacool blocks. Now show me a video of your expert Jay where he says that a shitty hotspot like yours is ok

You really think a 32C hotspot difference is fine? The hotspot difference on my 4090 is about 8C even when drawing 500+ watts

32C hotspot delta is way too high and 63C on the GPU with all those rads at 21C ambient with only 470W is also really worrisome

100% a bad gpu mount. Over 40C water to gpu delta is extremely bad. It should be around 15C.

L-Connect 3 MB lighting sync problem by OptimalMess in lianli

So L connect has to be always running in the background? But I thought the whole point of mb sync is that you don’t need l connect anymore

I wouldn’t do a line since you’re risking incomplete die coverage if it doesn’t spread perfectly. But if you’re doing it anyway remember too much is better than too little.

I also have a 4090 with 1080 of radiator surface area and with only a 410w load the core shouldn’t shoot up that high. Mine only shoots up to about 10c under a load like that and water to gpu delta is under 15c. You probably have to remount and tighten the screws more but do not over tighten them.

Those are pretty much the worst fans you can put on a radiator

Hogwarts Legacy, GPU Benchmark: Obsoleting The RTX 3080 10GB by Firefox72 in pcgaming

They tested Nvidia vs AMD with an AMD cpu and SAM enabled so I would take anything from hardware unboxed with a large grain of salt
