NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

Does anybody know the tubing lengths of the three water cooled 5090's (Astral/Waterforce/Suprim)? From official images the Waterforce looks quite short and likely wouldn't fit on the side opening on my case. Thanks.

460mm for one I have (Waterforce)

Thanks, I'm not sure that would fit in the top or the side. May have to scratch it from my shopping list, shame. :rolleyes:

Huh? How long do you need the tubes to be? :D

Here’s mine. Original plan was rad at the bottom but it was too chonky so redirected to front

I've got a Corsair 9000D so it's a LOOONG distance to top, front, or side. Lol.

I ran a length of 460mm tubing to visualise and it was pretty tight to the top, even tighter to the side. Not an exact science, I know, but it looks like it could potentially be an issue. The Astral tubing appears much longer looking at stock images.

Edit: The Astral LC tubing is 600mm, which would be fine. the Suprim tubing is 450mm, which is even tighter than the Waterforce. Looks like potentially an Astral LC or Waterforce WB for me then... :)

Yeah, Ive got a lot tucked behind it. Top rad mount. But remember the Suprim and Waterforce come out the rhs, rather than top middle (ish)...

Fair enough, makes sense.

I am very biased having now owned my card for a little while now, but it’s an amazing bit of kit so if you can get it to work in your case, then I would highly recommend it

The only downside is that having now had an AIO GPU, not sure how I can go back to normal air cooled ones. I wanted an Aorus Master originally which by all accounts looks excellent as well so long as you can get as much of the hot air out the case and away from your CPU radiator fans.

Friend of mine has a 5090 as well - can’t remember exactly which one but similar to the Aorus Master in that there’s 3 fans on it. His case is a bit small and pokey and he’s started absolutely cooking his Intel CPU :D

I'll keep an eye out, somebody must have tried a Suprim/Water force in one of those cases by now. :D
 
Have there been any more drops of the 5090 FE? I cant bring myself to spending another gpu worth on the AIB cards.

And I believe the first two drops amounted to about 20 cards, the second 60. 80 cards total.

Bit of a joke, isn’t it. It’s the only reason I gave up on the FE and settled on the Zotac that had availability.

Quite partial to a FE @ MSRP but this time around god only knows how long I’d have been waiting to try and snag one, especially as we’re competing against scripts & bots, as well as gamers.
