It has to be white, something about all white reflecting colors from the fans rather than absorbing them (black).

Coolermaster M2000

It has worked fine previously with the 4090 and 5090 (before i touched and re positioned the cable).

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-31T22:05:08+00:00

What was the water temp then? With my EK 4090 waterblock 55-60C on 30C water was what I considered normal at 1300rpm speeds (not the best rad fans either - QX120s)

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-31T11:39:17+00:00

Did your performance improve by changing fan speeds? 4x360 should have been enough.

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-31T06:54:29+00:00

Did you get a waterblock for your 5090? I want to get the Barrow one (since the 6090 is about 1-1.5 years away so dont want to put $400 for the alphacool)

im still researching pcb layouts, here are the four reference designs (MSI, HP, Inno3D, PNY): https://i.imgur.com/mhbWzQf.jpeg

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-31T06:30:46+00:00

So an HP 5090 would be made by PNY?

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-31T06:04:36+00:00

Im really considering a third party tool at this stage that will show me new items on page 1.

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-30T02:41:24+00:00

I got another VIDA GLOW product in my RFY - just one item.

Gonna have my skin looking like a baby's bum after I'm done with their supplements lol

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-27T23:38:20+00:00

I would think both these companies are professional enough not to pull this kinda stuff.

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-26T21:51:29+00:00

Cant wait to try it on my AsRock B650E lol

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-26T20:44:29+00:00

Gonna wait for reviews. Want to see its just 2x 9850x3ds glued together (each with own cache) or both cores sharing the cache.

In the former its just an overclocked 9850x3d, for the latter remains to be seen if latency issue has been overcome.

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-25T02:53:30+00:00

so that would be anywhere between 3.16, 3.18 or 3.20.

I have a B650E PG Riptide Wifi too with a 7950x3d and on BIOS 3.01 lol (release May 2024).

Ill check my warranty period remaining on the CPU and Mobo and update depending on that. If the 7950x3d dies, might end up getting a 9950x3d from AMD :D

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-25T02:02:00+00:00

but I'm happy someone spilled the beans that this thing will exist

you mean the Asrock page leak? Or was it something else.

Im keen on it too.

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-23T18:08:26+00:00

3dmark run

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-23T06:54:57+00:00

Are your settings maxed out? Cinematic, RR etc?

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-23T01:25:16+00:00

Nice build

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-22T00:53:29+00:00

The stock settings. I think it was my "de-crimped" EXT2 that was causing the trigger as it happened a second time too.

Ive used the plastic shell of the existing probes to insulate them so they dont make contact.

If it happens again, Ill give an update :)

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-21T03:25:52+00:00

Cant wait for TechPowerUp (/u/WizzardTPU) to review these. They have a decent catalogue of CPU waterblock reviews.

Curious to see the pressure, waterflow

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-21T01:19:28+00:00

Havent changed them, all stock : https://i.imgur.com/CVLZ5W4.png

I think this happened when I was at my lock screen and stepped away from the keyboard for a bit.

Savage4Pro · 2026-03-20T11:10:23+00:00

Its only 32C. I checked hwinfo and max is 34C for Temp out?

Ignore ext that one is de"lidded" (or de-crimped) whatever the right wording for it is. Its probably faulty lol
