News Ultra-Compact RTX 4090 With Liquid Cooling Uses a Single Slot

[Admin]

Alphacool manufactures a custom water block for RTX 4090 cards that only occupies a single slot, the smallest solution we're currently aware of, though compatibility with third-party is quite limited.

If the GPU takes a hit but the hit is small, I'd be impressed with getting that monster down to 1 slot. Yeah, the cooling gets moved elsewhere, but the 4090 cooler is insanely large. I'm wondering if we should start having our GPU cooling externalized like that one Linus video

There doesn't seem to be any tests, so there's not any information that the GPU will take a hit at all.

You could certainly run at 450W if you wanted to. Just have to get a 280mm or 360mm radiator just for the GPU, or get a really thick 360mm for the whole system.

I use dual 280mm for a 3080Ti and 10900F. I do let the GPU run up to 350W and the CPU tops out around 80W while gaming. CPU sits in the mid-60s and the GPU tops out in the high 50s after everything has heated up. (Great in the winter, when summer rolls around, I think I am going to power limit the GPU)

This card was built for WC, ridiculous that there aren't more models for custom loops out there already for the 4090, 4 slot GPU... insance.
On a loop, you never miss the fan ramp up sounds of the GPU, but you can start to hear coil whine you never heard before...

GPU's tend to be smaller, on the thickness, with a water block. The PCB's are all short, for 40 series. The extra length is all for cooling purposes, on air cooled cards.

i dont really know where is the "news" here. i mean all waterblocks for GPUs had always been 1 slot thick.

It was all rage during the SLI / crossfire years. i know, i'm old...

Wonder if they will trade my first born for this thing, he's 38 now but i dont think he would mind takin one for the team.

Yep, at idle my computer is too quiet. I hear coil whine when I move my mouse around on the desktop.

There are some games with menus where the FPS isn't capped for whatever reason, even though I cap it. Amazing how loud that is.
