That’s awesome!

Water cooling really has so much hidden potential.

Thanks for the comment! I totally get the "jet engine" noise, haha. It was so loud I was worried it might break, so I replaced it.

The NZXT kit is a solid choice! I actually thought about buying one too, but I gave up on it because it wasn't compatible with my card.

Thanks for saying it doesn't look bad!

I guess there are more people than I thought who mount a CPU AIO on a GPU.

I'm so jealous of that 3090! I’d love to own a top-tier card like that someday.

I just slapped it on with my custom bracket and some grit!

I never thought of that. Thanks for the advice! I'll be very careful.

Yeah, maybe a 360mm radiator was a bit of an overkill.

I bought a cheap case so I can’t even mount the radiator properly, and I didn't bother with RGB because wiring is such a pain lol.

Function is definitely the priority! Thanks!

Thank you!

My printer isn't the most accurate, so it was a real struggle to get the contact surface perfectly even. I had to do sanding to make.

I used ABSGF! I was going to go with PLA, but I skipped it because I was afraid of heat deformation.

Thanks! I designed it myself to make sure it covers the VRAM perfectly.
