Are we going to have this argument again about overclocked vs stock not being applicable??!! 🤣 Is it gonna be 2080ti vs 3090 all over again for us? 🤣

 

Looking forward to the benches though. 🙂

 

 

Look at this thing man. Crazy. The silicon is so FRESH.

I am very surprised you pulled the 9070XT. I thought you be running that one for a while. Unfortunate that the waterblock didn’t do more for the hotspot. 

It is a great card. I pulled it because I don't have a block for it and one will not be available until mid to late July at the earliest and it runs absurdly hot. So, I don't know if a block will help it a lot or a little bit. Putting the 6900 XT on a waterblock only slightly improved its hotspot temperatures even though the core and memory junction temperatures were fantastic.

 

The GPU that has a block on it now is the ASUS 3080 Turbo, which is a budget 3080 with a blower on it that does an absolutely horrid job of cooling the GPU. It was absolutely insane and I can't believe ASUS got away with selling them the cooler was so horrible. It made a ton of noise, but the GPU still hit 100°C playing games or running a 3DMark benchmark. It was even worse than the Radeon card, but now it runs as cool as a cucumber, including hotspot. And, it performs really well for a 3080 LHR model. I bought it brand new on eBay dirt cheap ($325) from a distributor in Israel that had a whole bunch of them (dozens) that were still in their white label packaging and plastic wrapping.

That's fair. Let me know how much you're asking for it. Probably too much to make it worth my while to pick up yours and return the Gaming (or put it in the wife's system and return the 5070) but you never know.

If I decide to sell it I will give you first crack at it. I like it enough to want to keep it, but what I am not sure about is whether or not I like it enough to spend roughly $200 more on a waterblock for it. Having to do that to get the temperatures I would like to see makes it too expensive. So, let's see what I decide when the block is actually available, how much it costs and what my appetite for spending is when that time comes. I could probably use it forever running as hot as it does without any problems because it is apparently "normal" for Radeon cards. Just because it is normal and the heat might not kill it doesn't mean I like that part of it, LOL. It destroys the 3080 in terms of performance. No contest there. The way I look at it, neither one of them operate at temperatures that make me happy out of the box.

 

To be totally fair, I also have to admit that almost every GPU I have owned since the day I ditched turdbooks and moved back to desktops has been on a waterblock and the times I have used an air cooler there is not one single GPU that I thought had "good" temperatures with air cooling. Some have been worse than others, but all have sucked to a degree that I found displeasing when they were air cooled. I have spoiled myself with liquid cooling of almost everything for the past 10 years and don't really like to have anything air cooled on my desktops, be it a CPU, GPU or RAM.

 

It is probably safe to say that this has caused me to be a bit jaded and intolerant of temperatures that mainstream PC gamers have come to accept as normal and don't think about. They just play games and the temps are what the temps are. (Gosh that last part puts them in the same category as the turdbook gamers. I guess ignorance is bliss and you can't miss something you have never had.)

Looking good bro! Time to dust off the chiller to really let it fly and see where it takes you!

 

I did say weeks or months ago with the 5090 when all is said and done,  all roads lead to Rome. 🫡
