Nvidia 30X0 series waterblocks

i'm running a fully oc'd 5950x (4.65ghz) and undervolting a 3090 as a manual oc makes the card hit power limit and then down clocks below 18000mhz. but i've noticed latley when i run 3dmark my pc locks up and has started to switch off so i suspect my psu is acting up :(, temps on cpu and gpu are well within limits too as i suspected something was getting hot, but upon checking everything has plenty of thermal headroom (custom loop 2*360mm pe ek rads)

Possibly off topic but I’m curious what settings you have made to OC your 5950x to get it stable at 4.65. Mine was unstable above 4.55. I am eagerly waiting the EK 3090 FE block so will be looking to optimise my CPU and GPU.

Looks ace mate, love the small form factor. Kinda miss building mitx/matx builds. My last one was in a Parvums S1.0.

Thanks mate! The most challenging part was the hard tubing in such a small case! I ended up using them only on the gpu side and switch to soft tubing on the right side
 
Looks great mate, Ocuk finally got stock of the block so I've just placed an order, can't wait to not have to use a spaghetti PC anymore.
 
My block and backplate finally shipped today (only took all week since buying it) and I just got paid so I'm itching to order everything else I need right now
 
@OC2000 i thought i give you a quick update, after more testing in games and benchmarks i look to have found the problem and it was to do with the undervolt at 0.863v, i've been playing around extensivly and have found my card to not work at all at that voltage so i again edited the curve in msi afterburner and settled on 0.956v but i can now run 1980mhz on average with a max clock of 2010mhz and i get no lockups or freezes which is soo much better than before.

at the new clock and voltage i am starting to hit power limit at 402w but it's not all the time like before and best of all my card wont down lock either, i have a +750 ram offset applied too.

just need to dial in my fans as now with the undrervolt oc on the gpu it is getting close to 60 on water which is a tad warm, but hey my cards working and my hx1000w psu is handling the load nicley :)

60 on water?? What block are you using??

bitspower one i ordered, granted my fans are at 1800rpm i'll have to push them a bit faster under load, at idle my card sits at 27-28 degrees, but under full load i'm maintaning well over 1950mhz which is why the card gets hot

That's high, how many rads you got? I have 1 280 slim and 1 120 slim, with noctua fan, fan curve with the temp sensor on water, my card goes around 2055/2070mhz low 50 degrees. The 2 140 fan ran around 1300rpm and the slim 120 around 1500rpm

2*360mm ek pe classic rads using the ek distro plate designed for the lian li o11 dynamic, pump speed 60% min and 95% under load, nocuta pcc industrial 3000rpm fans pull config from the bottom of the case exhausting out the top

Glad you got your Undervolting sorted. Ill look into Undervolting my at a reasonable OC enough not to stress the GPU.

60C on water though with 2x 360 rads is high. With my testing on an open bench setup, my GPU was idling at 14C (the room was cold) and only going over 30C full load after an hour or 2 benchmarking. Ill have to see how the temps are in my new case as its the same as yours with 2x 360 radiators. I am hoping for a typical idle in the 20s and full load under 45C. I have noticed though that the MP5works drops the GPU temp quite a bit.

I am going for both rads as intakes, and the sides as exhausts as I want direct air over my ram. My ram gets hot fast.
 
I still don't see why they're £250. With the added thickness and inconveniently placed fittings it seems like you're paying more for trouble.

I can decide whether to include the tope rad or not. Leaving out the glass and glass mounts might be cool too.
With regards to the blocks value, I'd say it is. I don't feel ripped off, it's quite substantial. The port options don't present any additional problems either plus you get the extra piece that angles the ports in a different direction for added options.
