*Official Benchmark Thread* - Post it here or it didn't happen :D

In regards to voltages and 5090s, in the same vein as I was asking awhile ago here about subjecting naturally lower voltage cards to forced, higher voltages via EVC2 or now with the XOC. There is a reason cards are coming off the fab binned at various voltages and qualities:

9800X3D vs 265k at all thee resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 2160p)

 

Pay particular attention to the 1% and .1% across all the results:

Anyone using Liquid Metal needs to try some of the Supercool Liquid Metal. It has changed my mindset completely. The stuff just doesn’t degrade like other Liquid Metal’s do. 
 

It doesn’t perform quite as good as Kryonaut Extreme, but longevity is the best I have ever seen with Liquid Metal. And I will easily take the +2c worse temps for better longevity. This is one of the main reasons I have not hard lined my 5090. Radiator Fan speed really doesn’t matter if your delta sucks. And so far I have held 8c@400 watts and 12c@600 watts. 
 

This is +565@935mv the fans are all turning 1300rpm which results in a 38c GPU temps, with 30c water. 
 

It has already been 3 months since I applied the Liquid Metal. 
 

I have re-pasted Liquid Metal so many times, and degraded Liquid Metal so many times. This stuff is really a miracle TIM! I also re-pasted my Acer Predator 18” 4090 laptop with it too. Excellent LM. It’s like the mix is different on this LM, and drying out or any reaction from gallium and air is slowed or doesn’t happen at all. I’ll be curious to see what 6 months looks like. But typically for me at 3 months mark any other Liquid Metal would already be degraded and a loss in temps or instability is present at the previous overclocks. 
 

 

 

 

Is there a review out on this stuff comparing it to other pastes along with other LMs and PTM?

75ns latency on 265K LMAO. GTFO. Garbage. 

 

60-63ns is a tuned Arrow Lake 265K. Below that is amazing tuning with lottery IMC. But 75ns and that terrible bandwidth, LMAO, straight garbage. 

 

Literally tuned the TREFI to 65535 and left the 265K stupid low. Why the F would you do that other than attempting to misrepresent performance? 

 

Also heavily agree on the RTX 5090 voltages. It's amazing how good my Surpim SOC clocks with it's default 1.15-1.12v.

So I am at a bit of an impasse. Just been working 14 hour days this past month all the way up to my vacation (which was almost canceled lol). I don't like when people do this to me but here I am about to do the same. 

 

I am hoping to build a water loop for my Red Devil 7900 XTX, it's been 15 years since my last Waterloop not sure where to buy these things anymore. 

 

I'd like to get the 1080mm UT45/60 and alpha core block just not sure about the rest. 

 

Does the UT45/60 have mounting points for res and pump? Does it need a kit for that sort of thing? As payment for troubling you all I'll take plenty of pictures of the build log. 

 

I am based in the US, Texas, 76001

 

I know @Mr. Fox gave me some good info before I still have it favorited. I'd like to get everything purchased by tonight if possible. 

 

Thanks in advance everyone
