just a quick (ish) question..... cooling as been ok, was wondering if i swapped out the watercooler on 5700XT with this... Alphacool Eisblock Aurora Acetal GPX-A AMD Radeon RX 5700/5700XT i know this cooler has no pump so i would need to sort but will this cool RAM and power to 5700XT?

big fan of using toilet paper to check air movement :)

So I marked up and did some cutting..... Results prove NZXT case was large part of issue.... GPU core 50c and junction 89c after running stress test for 3 mins. Fans running at 800 rpm so quite really.

hi might be worth getting some thinker thermal pads for the memory (i think mine were like 4mm thick) as i felt the supplied ones where too thin. get some paste too and check how it looks (too little or too much) . what case are you using too? my NZXT 510i has really bad air flow so will be...

ok cool...yeah i wanted to have them all connected, i'll give it a go

hi managed to get a B-ware Eisbear 120 CPu cooler. was wondering if i should run this on its own or connect it to my Eiswolf 240 GPX pro ? advice would be much appreciated

flipped the radiator, temps still the same but I now know that the pump, fans and radiator are in the correct orientation (y) i'll have a look for some fans and try and sort something out

Hi J Callaway Cannot believe i haven't see the video before.... Appreciate the advice and will have a go a fliping the rad tonight.... The case does have really bad air flow and before the water cooler was fitted I did run a case fan on the memory etc part of the card.... Ill give that a go...

so looking at some youtube videos (), it would appears that using watercoolers they are getting 41c GPU and Junction 62 to 69c during stress test. so my temps are still a little high but im going to get the software they used to stress test mine :(

is that junction temp?

hi have you run your card with this yet? wanted to see what kind of temps your are getting? is it a 5700 card you have? thanks

ok, just wanted to check :)

sure, me too......how hot should the radiator get? as the video card block is warm to the touch but the Radiator isnt as warm

so one thing i noticed is the thermal pads for the RAM has a faint transfer pater (i.e they were touching) but for the ones in the channels (presuming voltage and stuff) on the backing plate there was no transfer pattern, so i swapped them for some thicker thermal pads....... temp at 100% load...

hmmmm....... that whole video is about how "110 is expected" is misleading, the chap in the video even says himself.....110c is working tolerance, you dont want it that high.....in fact that video is the reason i decided to get the water cooler....
