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

Yeah, quite a lot of folk getting the 'cheaper', cough, cards and sticking a water block on it. I considered this, but 2k plus and no warranty cover for the likes of Palit, possibly others, thought better to get the Waterforce AIO with 4 years warranty. The WB you have is getting great temps, and you have a 4 year warranty also, great choice imo.

With my fans at maximum 1000 rpm (but generally lower), I'm getting 55 ish max on core, 76 ish on memory after a few hours of gaming, at my 240 fps monitor 4k refresh rate, which is ideal as I want a quiet system. So OK for an AIO, lower temps than Astral LC, and MUCH quieter for sure.

Also, nice to see OC's prices now coming down for the 'higher' end cards. But, 'your' WB still a very hard to get item and expensive.

Your temps seem pretty good for an AIO. Not sure what your case and fan situation is, but I doubt you could get temps that much lower.

I run my fans at 30-35% most of the time. They are barely audible which is fine as there is a lot of them and a lot of radiator area. Could go higher fan speeds but I think it's diminishing returns as the water temp doesn't go much above 30C, even after 4hrs+ of gaming.

Now the warmer weather is coming, a lot of users will probably need to keep an eye on their cards, and is where water cooled 5090's will come into their own. :eek:

It's great so many 5090s in stock. I'm hopeful for more bargains in the next couple of months!

It does make me wonder if the majority of folks who wanted the 5090 have bought it already. Given the lacklustre gen-on-gen improvement (in the eyes of most folks), I don't think it will be as popular as the previous 90-class cards, so the tail of demand is probably limited. Surely Nvidia will not want prices to fall too much further and will begin sending the dies to the RTX Blackwell Pro card which sells for £7-8k.

My apartment rocks and rolls at about 24c in the evenings with nothing turned on. With the PC on it’s about 27c within an hour. And that was in April. Havent played much this month!

Yep, mine isn’t far off. Room heats up sooooo fast. I would say it might force me to go outside, but anything above 17c is already too warm for me, haha.
