Do you think there would be added benefit adding another rad to the loop?
Thats what I’m debating.
How long are the pipes for the rad?

To answer the questions directly:
Do you think there would be added benefit adding another rad to the loop? No
How long are the pipes for the rad? From GPU to Rad for the Matrix is around ~54cm
It's not worth stripping or playing with the card due to it being glued together and you are likely to break it if watch Roman's (De8auer) review video. Also, the card is voltage-limited due to running a new die even though they are binned you would need to flash the 1000W bios to the card to push it. However, even then you are voltage-locked to 1.105v
So to summarize:
Can it be done: Yes
Is it a lot of work and could break the card: Yes
Would it gain a performance advantage: No
The advantage of the Matrix is it boosts higher and uses less power out of the box than any other card due to the binned core.
Thanks. Pretty much summed it up for me!
Hardpipe conversion.
It’s been done here. I would worry about running two pumps in parallel tho.
Maybe take out my pump and just use the GPU pump? But then is that strong enough for a full system?
I will probably leave it for now. Maybe a project for future.

Two pumps shouldn't be an issue
Done it loads of times for redundancy reasons
Admittedly not with an AIO gpu
But have done it with swiftech AIO
Tested by disconnecting each pump
And the single pump including the one in the AIO
Still was fine for cpu and gpu loop
Though not as high powered as a 4090
Something like 5950x and 2080ti would be last time I did it
But flow was adequate

This is how I feel, you're better off getting a normal card and a block, and "investing" in the rest of your loop. Less chance of a bodge that breaks something, that ROG card is not meant to be integrated.
Totally agree, but I invested in the loop years back, got black ice radiators and stuff.
I just can’t tempt myself to cut the soft pipe on the matrix (yet) to loop it in.
I have fitted it along side my CPU loop.
I’ll see how it goes. It’s a lovely card but the radiator and fans seem cheap.
I have a 4090 FE and a EK block but if I was doing it now I would get a Heatkiller block as I think it looks a lot better.
If one fails it’s very likely going to impact the performance of the other. With both running any PWM control will be all over the place. I suppose the upside is you have some level of redundancy. If I was doing this for whatever reason I’d set them up in parallel.

Yeah redundancy was main reason
Things don't usually fail at
a convenient time lol
It still allowed the system to run on
Either pump
Therefore letting me be able to pick
A suitable time to do something about it
In the op case
I just wouldn't have bought that gpu full stop
Over priced and leaves you open
To a pump failure and a 4090 paperweight
Would have bought a gpu and separate block
And a pump that's external to the gpu
Each to their own though
It's their money to buy whatever they want
