In January I replaced my 5 year old GTX 1080 Ti with an Asus ROG TUF OC 4090. My old 1080 Ti never had an official waterblock made for it by anyone, so I was never able to incorporate it into my loop. I made sure that whatever model of 4090 I got, it had to have waterblock support from more than just one vendor. I'm finally done with my system. For now anyways. After years of tweaking, upgrades, and loop rebuilds, I'm happy with how it looks, and how it performs.

Specs

  • Case: Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL
  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master
  • RAM: Corsair Vengeance Pro RGB (4 x 8GB)
  • GPU: Asus ROG TUF OC 4090
  • NVMe #1 - 1TB Western Digital Black SN850 (OS & Applications)
  • NVMe #2 - 2TB Western Digital Black SN850X (Steam Library)
  • Corsair Hydro X D5 Pump
  • Alphacool Strix/TUF 4090 Block
  • Optimus PC Foundation AM4 CPU Block
  • 2 x Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 Full Copper 360mm Radiator
  • Bitspower fittings

There's a good chance however that next year when the Ryzen 8000 chips come out I'll upgrade my platform to that. But for now I can finally enjoy the months of hard work and waiting for parts.

Like driving a Ferrari with a Honda engine.

You know that's a thing, right? Right...?
