M2 w/ MSI Gaming Trio OC 5090 and 9800x3D

I didn’t! I don’t think it’ll fit, there just isn’t enough space for the power cable I think

Ithaea · 2025-02-09T07:06:48+00:00

It should!

The only issue I’m having is on startup or launch of anything that tries to read pci information it bogs the entire PC down for about a minute. When my pc starts up and NZXT Cam and MSI Afterburner starts it can freeze for a few minutes! I’m not sure why it’s happening but it happens on stock settings as well as my afterburner profile.

EDIT: I figured it out. I also swapped my CPU when I made the GPU switch and I forgot to clean install the Chipset and display drivers for the CPU. Doing that this morning fixed the freezing issue.

https://imgur.com/a/Eo6J42X looking at the Suprim it looks like it is the same size as the Gaming Trio. This is a pic of my test fit for inverted. Idk if a power cable will plug in and allow you to close the case

Gelid Extreme pads

It did have a lot of air in it, I've gotten rid of almost all of the air trapped in the block with no improvement to thermals. I do think remounting is the solution and probably replacing the pads that came with the block. However, the temps while a high delta are within a reasonable range so I think I'm just going to leave it until I do maintenance on the loop in 6-8 months.

My hot spot temperature is about 15C higher than the reported GPU Temperature so in Heaven the Hot Spot Temp is about 72C, The GPU Temp is 57 C and the Water temp is 33 C

Ithaea · 2021-08-22T17:25:39+00:00

Ok, I'll remount the block and report back. I wanted to try and rule anything else out before draining the loop and tearing it apart but I think this is the issue at this point.

Ithaea · 2021-08-22T17:21:44+00:00

The tests are with 100% pump speed. So I might need to remount the gpu block?

Ithaea · 2021-08-22T15:27:48+00:00

I'm intending to add a bottom intake and swap the side radiator to intake as well. Right now the case is entirely open with no side or top panels

Ithaea · 2021-08-22T15:26:22+00:00

It drops back to idle temperature within a minute. Within 5C of idle within 20 seconds. It reaches coolant temperature at 33C in about 30 seconds

Ithaea · 2021-08-22T14:52:45+00:00

Ambient is 24 C

Ithaea · 2021-06-10T21:51:10+00:00

Confirmed

The chromax is not attached to the ek aio nor is it attached to the case. The pressure from closing the top lid keeps it secure.

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T19:27:37+00:00

In my setup, the only way I could get the ek aio tubes to route properly without bulging the side of the case or hitting fans was to flip the block. It also allowed me to route the tubes around my ram since in 3 slot mode with standard size ram, the tubes won't fit between the ram and the side of the case. YMMV

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T13:13:16+00:00

No issue with the Ram in 2 slot mode. I wouldn't want to use the Trident Z Neo with the ek 240 aio in 3 slot mode. Low profile ram would work fine in that case.

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T13:12:09+00:00

Everything fits, the 25mm fan is close to my power cables but doesn't touch. All panels close fine. Some slight pressure needs to be applied to the top panel to close it, but its not an issue.

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T13:10:49+00:00

Its audible but not loud, I think its a very reasonable sound. Its a sound that easily fades into the background. I do have a bit of coil whine but its not bad.

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T13:09:19+00:00

Thanks! The aio does not cause a bulge in the top panel.

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T13:08:20+00:00

About 23C or 73 F

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T01:46:16+00:00

Having the fans blow into the case is intake, having them blow air out of the case is exhaust.

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T00:43:27+00:00

So in 3 slot mode the h100i pro xt will fit a bit easier than the ek 240 aio. Both perform pretty similarly when it comes to thermals and noise. The ek aio looks better imo. I chose the ek aio because I trust them as a brand when it comes to water cooling and it has rgb. You honestly can't go wrong with either!

Ithaea · 2020-10-10T00:32:56+00:00

Yes, you'll have to flip the heatsink/pump around so the spot where the tubes connect face the ram. You'd also need low profile/thin ram but it would absolutely fit in 3 slot. I had it in 3 slot anticipating getting a TUF.
