Watercooling MSI R9 390 Gaming 8GB
- Thread starter Oriaz
- Start date
Actually, you're right .. the Alphacool one for MSI is now "In Stock".
It's the only other one I've seen listed for the MSI card, but it's always been set to "In Production" when I check (last time was about 10 days ago).
Still, if the EKWB one is due today/soon, then I'd rather wait for that as everything else in my system is EKWB
.
Cheers

It's available on our webshop
Resellers should have it soon too
I'm so tempted, they do look lovely. If they were cheaper, I think I would buy 2 and backplates and redo the loop, sadly after all the hard work and what I went through, guess I'm going to have to resist the urge mate. lol

Will OCUK be stocking these?

I hope so too
Mine just arrived a few hours ago .. thanks EKWB . It's a thing of beauty.
I'll try and get it installed tonight if I can. For me, the universal Supremacy block that I am using does a great job on the GPU, but it's the VRAM that goes a bit wild with my passive cooling solution .. so that's what I am going to keep an eye on the most. But here it is in all it's glory:
I'll update as soon as I can
p.s. I like the fact that it even has "MSI" engraved into the block ... nice touch
Cheers!

Looks lush, and nice to finally see a full-block solution for a mainstream 390 card (not XFX using old 290 block).

I had exactly the same issue with my old 4870x2 when I put the aftermarket cooler on it. The VRM's aren't all the same height to had to double up on heatpads and even take some of the thicker ones off the original heatsink and look across the card sideways to make sure there weren't any gaps between the top of the chips and the pads, and there were. Spent quite a while getting them all snug under the pads/sink

Ooooh shiney!
Looks great Oriaz, keep us posted.
Think I'll be ordering one come pay day. Hoping OCUK will stock them by then, but we'll see. Take my money!

And here it is, all up and running:
Temps are looking very good so far, but I haven't done a lot of "stress-testing" just yet.
Desktop (web browsing etc etc)
GPU: 26
VRAM: 28
CPU: 28
Playing WoW (where I had issues before), after 15 mins:
GPU: 45
VRAM: 56
CPU: 45
Before, after 15 mins of WoW, my VRAM would have been up in the 80's for sure! So this is way better!
