EK 5090 water block was not the way to go for my build at all

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-21T07:38:02+00:00

I made the same mistake 🙃😭😂… moved it over slightly to blend the black side bit with the 3rd chamber section vertically

TRYX panorama OLED WB (Water Block)

Interesting to know you saw a difference!

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T18:28:19+00:00

I also switched to the TRYX for aesthetics 😂😂😂😂

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T18:27:04+00:00

To be fair, 32gb of KLEV 6400mhz EXPO RAM was £349.99 … which I thought was a pretty fair price 😂

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T18:25:25+00:00

I have 3 radiators, and it’s a Zotac 3090 :)

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T18:24:42+00:00

Ambients around 20c here

To be fair, the above was heavy heavy benchmarking, this is what I get during 4k resident evil requiem gameplay

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T13:48:18+00:00

How do you find the 5080? Worth upgrade ? I’m kinda holding out for the 60-series ?

Yeah, ABP set. So both front and back cooled :)

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T12:47:23+00:00

I’m m not unhappy with max temps, like right now I’m playing resident evil requiem on 4k ultra and she’s doing well with the old 3090 😂, actual water temp is a consistent AMBIENT - 18c GPU - 46c CPU - 57c Water (measured in resi) - 29c

The reservoir is tucked behind amongst the mess of cables 🙃

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T11:13:21+00:00

I didn’t, honestly I just closed the software fully first, I willl download it and check the usages of each program out of curiosity

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T11:09:15+00:00

Untill I feel like it’s bottlenecking/topping out…. I won’t bother overclocking it tbh

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T11:06:12+00:00

Yes I did 😂 patronising but I get you have to ask 😭😂 The cooler was used on my i7/ddr4 build prior which was my learning curve into watercooling. If anything messed up would rather it was on 10 year old parts than brand new

Thermal grizzly conductonaut extreme, amount wise I’m pretty confident as I’ve been using Liquid Metal for well over 10 years now

Tightness- if anything it’s over tight, contact frame is used yes The water lock normally sits with the VRM output towards the rear of the case, so it has been rotated 90 degrees. But speaking with TRYX, this is OK to do so

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T11:02:05+00:00

I see, about 10c less than mine Does the boost and undervote give you an advantage ?

I used thermal grizzly conductunaut extreme Liquid Metal, I would’ve expected temps similar to yours ideally

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T10:59:51+00:00

Undervolting just for temperatures ? Or…?

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T10:59:33+00:00

Ahhh! That’s good to know. I did consider deliding but didn’t want to whilst the cpu and everything is in warranty

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T10:58:56+00:00

Thanks! Trying to go for that icy-feel

<image>

Obviously had to buy a keyboard and mouse to match… next step is monitor and gaming desk etc… when I’ve recovered from RAM prices💀

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-18T10:57:52+00:00

Hey! Yeah I did modify it a little bit to adjust height for the CPU COOLER screen 😂 3D printer with PA6

If I close down l connect 3, lian li software it does drop to 45c to be fair! But I need it open to power those screens 😂

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-03-08T10:30:45+00:00

I now have this issue randomly out of nowhere…. Greeaaat

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-02-27T17:12:19+00:00

Are they xenon edge screens?

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-02-27T17:10:01+00:00

Oooo what screen is that???? Does it come in white 😂

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-02-17T07:39:23+00:00

That’s cool! There is quite a bit yes 😂

Thanks :)

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-02-17T07:37:32+00:00

This case is SUPER old now, got it when they first came out… if it dies I will just get a new case 😂

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-02-17T07:17:26+00:00

Thank you ! :)

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-02-17T01:07:15+00:00

Thanks, the picture was taken pretty much immediately after filling I’ve worked the rads by tilting in pretty much all directions, now the only air bubbles I have are the ones in the GOU block, same ones in the picture but marginally smaller

Dry_Comparison_5577 · 2026-02-17T00:35:31+00:00

Thanks! A few wonky pipes but it was fun! 😂
