My gainward has some coil whine, as all others GPU I had in past like MSI Suprimx. I watercool my systems to have a silent setup but it seems impossible this days. In any case this waterblock is wild. After a stress test with 3D mark speedway the max temperature was 52°C with an ambient of...

Wb received

As title. I noticed that my RTX5090 WB for Gainward/Palit does not have the thermal pads marked in red in this photo: Is this normal? why the original air cooler has thermal pads on that components while your waterblock not?

ok they answered me via email that next stock should arrive on 26th of march. finger crossed.

I tried webform (a week ago) and email (yesterday) but they are ignoring me. I don't know what is the sense on the "expected availability" on their shop if they are not able to meet that expected availability forecast.

@Eddy can you comment on this please?

As title. Order When I ordered the RTX5090 Gainward it was written that the waterblocks would be available in 4-5 days... now after 6 days it says 15 days. Do these waterblocks exist or not? Can you give me an indication of when my order will be shipped?

that's fair but WBs for 5090's are for people that should not consider 10€ a barrier. I mean, most of that cards are mounted on a 10K computer but ok, I understand your point, thanks for the answer.

I mean this is a waterblock for a 3000€ card, will 10€ influence anything? :)

I would have paid even 50€ more for that cover :(

ah cool product, yes more or less it should do the same thing as a leak tester can do... thanks for the answer

@Eddy may I ask you why AlphaCool choosed to leave the PCB uncovered? the RTX4000 WB fully cover the PCB and you can't see it. it's very very ugly how it looks on the RTX5000 WBs.

don't know, still waiting the waterblock and the card

@blgblade what about the connector? is it safe? reading this is not reassuring https://videocardz.com/newz/reviewer-records-150c-tempeature-on-12v-2x6-psu-power-cable-connected-to-rtx-5090-graphics-card

As title. Can I use a leak tester to empty my loop? Is it safe to use the compressed air from a leak tester to pull the water outside my loop?
