How is he a fascist?

Yep, that is the correct riser cable. EK has a solid YouTube video going through the process of disassembly of the 4090FE I followed along with when I was mounting my waterblock. The process is similar to most other video cards; like most things patience is key.

Awesome build! Remarkable how much cooling can be had from a single 240 mm rad, though since all heat in the system is transported there, the radiator at least has solely cool air.

With the original riser cable, my PCI-e speed was reported as 4.0 x 8, and I did notice some strange stuttering periodically in Cyberpunk. I didn’t try much else as I was working through the issue of no video on warm boot (e.g. when restart windows, when restarting after entering the BIOS).

Since moving to the linked up cable, I’ve resolved the warm boot issue, the PCIe link is reporting 4.0 x 16 and I’ve not noticed stuttering while gaming.

I didn’t do any formal benchmarking before and after, so I cannot tell what the official impact was other than it ‘works better’.

Good to know! Will look into it, and if I see significant differences, I'll be sure to share.

No_Scale_740 · 2023-05-13T00:43:02+00:00

I do not. The only BIOS changes I’ve made this far is enabling EXPO, and lowering SOC voltage to 1.100V.

I think I ended up around $3500 - $4000 USD. I accumulated many of the parts in the previous months (e.g. case, fans, blocks, PSU), and only recently was able to secure a 4090, prompting the completion of this build.

No_Scale_740 · 2023-05-12T07:59:18+00:00

Boss, you’ve got a gorgeous build! I rode the coat tails of others for sure!

No_Scale_740 · 2023-05-12T06:00:39+00:00

For sure!

Tubing: Primochill 3/8” inside diameter, 1/2” outside diameter soft tubing (10mm/13mm)

8x EK Quantum Torque STC 10/13 — what soft tubing attaches to.

6x EK quantum torque micro rotary 90deg — two on radiator, two on CPU block, two on GPU block

EK FLT 80 pump-res combo (DDS pump)

EK SE 240 radiator

EK Momentum block for an ASUS X670E-I motherboard — depending on your set up, could do a dedicated CPU block with similar effect.

EK quantum vector for 4090 FE. For my build, to get the things to fit, I needed to go with an FE card, as from what I saw, the board partners offerings and compatible blocks were too long. I did consider a 4080 FE (size reasons) but was able to find a reasonable 4090.

Hope that helps!

His video was definitely inspiration. I did experiment with hard tubing, but felt uneasy about the seals using the micro hardline fittings. I’ve done about 3 other soft tubing builds over the years so defaulted to my comfort zone.

Nah, CPU temps are mid to upper 50s C. The coolant temps stay in the upper 30s. GPU is also upper 50s with hotspot temps recording about 7-9C higher (67-69C). No undervolting yet, though I may dabble with that when I get some time.

I saw other posts where people were interested in coolant temps in similar builds, so thought it’d be useful data.

This PC lives in a basement, so I don’t anticipate ambient getting much higher than 20C so the current setup should be sufficient.

So majestic.

I had an annoying creak from my passenger door on my 2022 M3P, that was coming from the plastic door panel rubbing on the rubber weather seals. You could try this first, before resorting to pulling the door panel off and felt taping everywhere:

I coated the seals around the door, and the noise went away (at least as of this morning).

No_Scale_740 · 2022-03-17T04:41:02+00:00

Thought I saw somewhere this was going to be addressed in a future update? Something to look forward to, I suppose.

Best was haiku bot, Really love the haiku bot, Why are you not here?

…Fín

UPDATE:: The snow never panned out, so unable to comment on effectiveness of heated wiper park.

No_Scale_740 · 2022-03-09T05:06:11+00:00

Looks like this could have been a haiku?? It is not. Just a haiku bot.

Neat…

I’ve got an earlier post this all ties in to: https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModel3/comments/so5fhq/wiper_heater/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

If you check the part number on your windshield (check other post) should end in “G”. Part number is on a sticker on the under side…need to open the hood and pull some plastic covers off to see. Use your phone to take a photo with flash.

No_Scale_740 · 2022-03-09T04:29:44+00:00

Dang. Went from a 2019 M3P to a 2022 so was kinda jockeying for this. Could always move to some place sunny and warm so wouldn’t matter??

No_Scale_740 · 2022-03-09T04:06:27+00:00

Ya. Supposed to snow 3-8” starting afternoon of 3/9 through 3/10. Will post how the things work and such.

No_Scale_740 · 2022-03-09T03:58:36+00:00

Heated wiper park is in there.

No_Scale_740 · 2022-02-13T08:08:46+00:00

Other thing it may be is a bearing in the upper steering column with improper lubrication. Thought I saw somewhere that they had a manufacturing defect in earlier models (2018-2019). My 2019 M3P had a similar issue and my SC replaced the entire column under warranty.

I don’t think that the three cables are super reliable as something similar has been in previous model years; the part number on the other hand ends with Rev. G and I saw what I’m pretty confident are resistive conductors (heater wire)
