Rumor: Further GeForce RTX 4090 Ti specs emerge

I was talking about 4090s, what with the thread being about the 4090ti, you are talking about TVs.
*Right, ive re-read your post several times and you mean you had problems with OCUK rather than OCUK having problems with the 4090 series. In that case yeah no online shop is perfect, maybe you got a dickhead worker on the wrong day.

 

Elmor tool combined with Asus strix or Tuf works to get " voltage" reglation. Galax HOF works with "voltage" regulation.

 

Yep, I was issuing a warning about OCUK.
This problem was with at least 3 people via phone and email, trying to dodge doing anything.
As said, they knew what they had done and only cared about making me go away!

 

I first ordered a 4090 from SCAN as the site said it was in stock, they took the money then the next day sent me an email saying they were awaiting stock.
i cancelled, found the same card on OCUK and it had dropped in price so ordered.
Took SCAN a week to refund my money though.
Frustrating but i ended up saving a bit in the end.

 

you aren't the kind of guy i was saying "e-peen" to
you are of the subset that buys best perf.

 

i was thinking about the Suprim X (only 1 that would fit as i use PCIe M.2 card) as a etailer had it briefly @ $1650
and i thought about the Zotac 4080 as the same etailer has it for $1199... but size and the fact i've never had a Zotac card brings more questions than answers

 

No need replace PSU if you have enough space in your Cases. For me seem a better solution just to buy a second 1200W PSU only for the GPU... hahah crazy crazy!

 

I dont think ive ever had a Zotac card to be honest, and yeah the coolers on these 4000 cards are mahoosive, i thought the cooler on the 6900xt was big and heavy but sitting next to the 4090 one in my cupboard its way smaller.

 

Wasn't meant as a critique... just a bit of light banter, Ive been a baker for nearly 40 years, married the wrong person then kicked her out 6 years too late... been made redundant and lost my house in the process, had plenty of hardship through out my life and never been gifted a penny but still manage to bounce back, my Msi 3080 SuprimX is the best I'm prepared to pay for but its all I need....for now.

 

Thanks but i would like a solution that doesn't require any soldering as it isn't worth the risk. I have the gigabyte gaming oc version which i recently put on a beautiful ek block that cost me a small fortune.

 

I was shocked to recently check their prices on 4090 blocks. On one side, who spends 1.5 or more of what the last top line card cost probably also spends 1.5 or more on the matching block.
But on the other side, it actually does not cost more to manufacture I'd jest, and if so, not the increase from 150 up to 250€, imo.

Still, hope it gives you decent temps, how's it working out?

 

I haven't run it yet, my system has been in limbo for a while as i'm too lazy to set up the new custom loop all at once. Hard tubing is so much work... i wish i had just continued with soft tubing. But the card certainly looks sweet! and i'll finally get my pcie 4x slot back which was the reason i started all this.

 

haha yeah I know the amount of work one has to put into this... that's why I'm always building my new rig next to the other one before actually using it.
But thanks for the advice, will use soft tubing again on my next build, thought about going for hard ones this time but never done that before.

 

Then it's not for you
It's a reason nVidia locked voltage regulation for average joe

 

The 4090 block from EK is enormous, now I know why it was a bit more expensive than my Phanteks 6900xt block. Cooling is very good though.

 

Mine is just the single sided cooling with a passive backplate, some cards actually require active double sided cooling, i bet those are worst. Mine cost 275US$ which translate to a million dollar canadian.

 

I’m no average Joe, I’m an above average Joe! But i still don’t want to mess too much with a card i paid 2500$ cad for (tax included). changing from the stock cooler is as much risk I’m willing to take.

 

EK Water Blocks EK-Quantum Vector² Strix/TUF RTX 4090 D-RGB Water Block - Nickel + Acetal | OcUK (overclockers.co.uk)
I paid £220 for mine. Was pretty easy to fit although as with all the EK blocks ive fitted the instruction are a little spurious.

 

Then you don't want to push more "voltage" on that card. That's for shure. 1.2v (stock max is 1.1v), and you will see north of 800w. In the edge of normal watercooling anyway

 

800w would probably melt that 12vhpwr connector anyways, at 800w I’d need to watercool the connector too lol I’d settle with a safe 650watts.
