Hi, I have the Alphacool water block installed on my MSI 4090 Suprim X
The block leaves some of the vrm components completely uncovered and uncooled. I have attached a picture of one, there is some thermal putty around the module where I tried to create some contact to the block, but the gap is way too large. On the other side of the card another vrm chip is not correctly covered by the block.
The vrm design ends too soon and is not wide enough to cover all of them. To my knowledge these can get very hot and need active cooling. All these vrms were covered and contacting the original MSI heatsink by design, but not the Alphacool block.
What do you advise? Long term this could be very bad, as the power load can be very high with these cards and vrms without active cooling will get very very hot under load.
