To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 3090

@pBay - love your set-up mate, I'm intending on having the exact same thing (well, pretty much).

Have you thought about ordering one of the new EK vertical mounts? That will deffo eliminate your sag, I think! Attaches to the rightmost motherboard screws.

Even with vertical mount I realised this thing needs more support. White lego bricks on order! Anyway add me to the list of frustrated 3080 customers who ended up going all the way!

Have a B550 Vision D motherboard sat here waiting for a 5900x. Hopefully this/next week then I can stop faffing with my PC.

Edit - no coil whine reported although undervolted and using brand new phanteks 1000w PSU

That’s a great looking build. Which riser card are you using and have you run into any weird issues with it? Keep hearing too many stories about frame hitching and BSOD when using risers.

Thanks guys! Good shout on that mount @Nitefly , do you know if it is available in UK yet?

@BubbySoup its the original Coolermaster vertical GPU mount, bought it last year. No issues has been flawless with my old 1080ti now the 3090. Problem is these cards are so big and heavy that I didn't feel that confident without something supporting the end.

I've ordered the mount from abroad from an 'official source' - arriving this week.

I'm not sure if you're running an AMD rig or not but your riser cable with only be PCIE3. It only seems to be LinkUp that make PCIE 4.0 cables - you can get a white one but only from their website, I think. I've ordered one too.

My rig will be AMD, going MSI Unity X board, two sticks of Neo Ram... Lian Li XL white case.... SLI120 fans. You've even gone for the blooming cables I was about to order

I LOVE the silver looking GPU. Really swish. Half tempted to go for that.... although I did have my heart set on the gaming X trio.... and now there is this white strix card....! Choices choices

Asus 3090 Strix OC finally arrived today after 82 days, loving it

How are you finding temps with your GPU in the vertical position ?

Thats how the lottery goes. I know a guy who got a MSI and is currently running at +200 and hitting a constant 2150Mhz and I think he is even undervolting.

Find similar. Got day to day set to +200 Mhz on FE and undervolting helps. With that offset see it boosting around those sorts of numbers inn most games (Cyberpunk and control with heavy RT are the exception where it drops clocks) at 1.05v for daily profile. So am seeing less voltage pumped into the GPU for the same or better frequency when manually tuned. Its pretty dang nice tuning the voltages on these.

Not too bad, seems to run about 8c hotter at load. I'm running the quiet BIOS so with the choked off airflow because of the glass it's averaging about 78c vertically. Would probably be about 70/72c at load horizontally and about the same temps as the reviews. With the performance mode the fan is way more aggressive but it keeps the temps at about 72c vertically, so about 5 to 8c off that horizontally. Fan is much too loud in performance mode vertically so the quiet one is a nice compromise, pretty much the same performance for a slightly warmer card, but it's so much quieter.

scubes · 16 Dec 2020 at 08:14

hi peeps
How may of you 2080ti owners got a 3090 and are you happy with your performance with your new card .

You raise a good point and is something im aware of with the riser cable. I have a b550 vision D board to put in when my 5900x arrives this
week. I was going to force my pcie to gen 3 in bios, I just don't know if I will get to the bios without plugging card in normally first or whether it just will sit on a black screen.

I love the appearance of the card as I already have enough RGB elements and didn't think I needed more. I've currently got it undervolted to 850mv stable at 1935mhz. Keeps temps between 64-68C on auto fan. Fans are quiet thankfully.

Born_2_Kill_83 · 16 Dec 2020 at 09:48

One for the owner's thread perhaps?

I’m very tempted to get a zotac 3090.

I switched my 3090FE back to horizontal - it was at least 5 degrees hotter. But I think that the fan setup on the FE is more intended for horizontal flow.

I have a custom loop so may put it under water once a block is released.

Ok thanks for that info very useful
