CORSAIR Hydro X Series XG7 RGB 30-Series Reference GPU Water Block (3090, 3080 Ti, 3080) - Fits 30+ Reference Design NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ (3090, 3080 Ti, 3080) Models

I bought them out of pure curiosity and because of their low prices plus the EKWBs I have after 2 or 3 months of use appear to be broken, they work fine but the appearance deteriorates, really disgusting on the part of EKWB, install several of these in a Mining rig that I have and they are very good, cheap but above all zero installation drama.The temperatures are as good as those of EKWB, I would even dare that they are better by about two or three degrees Celsius, I have mining RIGs that are exactly the same but the only difference is that some have everything EKWB and others CORSAIR, assembled in the same way and everything is the same, they only differ in the waterblocks and the CORSAIRs are always kept a few degrees below the EKWBs.This is a product that is very easy, you just disassemble your video card, put your video card inside the waterblock and screw it that simple you have NOTHING TO DO, it is simply disassemble and assemble again.SIMPLE, ECONOMIC, WELL-MADE, AND EASY TO INSTALLWhat else do you want?

Purchased this to replace F.E. cooling solution on my 3080ti, instillation was a breeze if you consider I have never torn a 30 series down, and broke a fan cable in the process, oh well at least I had a water block replacing it lol. Overall temps fell tremendously. I ran a time spy with OC on the card and got an achievement for not getting above 55 Celsius during a DX12 benchmark. I played for several hours on it last night and the highest it got was 60-62 with the OC and power limits still raised. Overall very satisfied with the purchase, seems a waste to get the controller from Corsair if you have 5v RGB headers on your MB. Pictures to come

!!Update!! after 6 months of use the vram temps went up to 90. I replaced the stock vram pads with gelid pads. Don’t cheap out on pads. Go ahead and get the gelid and do it right they are best. Now my vram is 66c with a +1500 memory ocWay better than other gpu blocks I've tried on this cardI started with bitspower.This corsair is amazing for everything I throw at it.Vram temps max at 76 when mining but with fans and pump at 100 it sits at 70cGpu core is at 40c when miningEasiest block to installGood manual included unlike ek or bitspowerImo this is the best block on the market if you want something easy simple and powerful!Best value for sure ! Pre applied thermal pads and paste cuts down on instal time.I would recommend adding thermal pads to the backside for gpu backplate where vram and die is.Comparison my vram temps on a different block and stock were over 100c

Some things to know. (This is the 3080 FE version)1. The thermal pads don't have paper to peel off.2. There isn't much contact with the backplate. just two tiny thermal pads.3. When you are disassembling the 3080 FE, for me, the T5 screws were quite stuck with the locktite. On two of them I sort of stripped the heads because they are very soft. Make sure your T5 screwdriver makes good contact. If you strip a head though, since the heads are soft, I was able to get the screws loose by just pressing hard with a small flathead and was able to break the locktite on it.Dropped my temps by > 25C. Hard to really compare since the temps are approx 25% lower but there are no fans now. Also the card is cool to the touch. Running intensive benchmarks and my card is at 41C.The Memory Junc sensor has peaked at 72C. This sensor was not readable in HWInfo64 when I was running the card prior to installing the water block but reading online it hits >100C with the stock cooling.Looks a little precarious with only two little screws that hold on the mounting plate (that you have to transfer from the stock cooler. Make sure you slide it in before putting in the two screws there. After installing it though it does seem pretty solidly attached.But with hard tubing you get lots of support from the tubes as well, so I didn't need to use any kind of extra brace to support the card. (As it makes the card so short, usually the standard braces won't work for it anyway.)Really good for the price. Much cheaper than the EKWB version, though that one does look much prettier IMO

I bought this gpu block for my 3090 and it does not fit. the block is too small. I though reference gpu water block meant Founder edition. It is not very clear for what type of card is this block. I looks like it would fit a 2080 card though.

I was under the impression this was a working component out of the box. I was absolutely sadly mistaken! You need to use all Corsair water cooling components if you're going to set up a custom loop using corsairs water block for your GPU. That was my plan anyways, I just didn't realize I needed all of the parts such as the CPU block the radiator etc... May seem like an obvious type of thing to most people but I'm a bit of a newbie. It was a surprise to me. Regardless, it's up and running and looks incredible and performs great! Thanks Amazon & Corsair! Oh yeah, and thank you Jays2centz from YouTube! You're incredible as well!

This was relatively straightforward to add to my custom hardline loop. it dropped the GPU temps drastically, but unfortunately does not help much with VRAM due to the small coverage of the water block, and plain backplate. There are better options, but this generally does the job for gaming, and obviously much quieter than air-cooling.

As an ekwb fanboy, I was surprised. Integrated thermal paste and pads for easy installation. On previous block, ekwb missed lots of parts or had sub premium pads. Plus the cheapest ek block is 225. 3080 memory is running 30-35 degrees Celsius cooler. Yes you've read that right. RGB looks good, can be daisy chained and connected to board headers . No missing parts. Bought two. Both purring like a kitten. Don't even get close to ekwb, you get way more value for money here. Great job Corsair.

Ma 3090 inno3d x3 atteignait facilement les 80° pendant de la production/du gaming (et même 100+ pour la VRAM arrière) et faisait un bruit d'enfer avec les ventilateurs à fond. Après installation je suis sur une température de 60° au grand max et un peu plus pour la VRAM arrière, plutot en général aux alentours de 50° en chauffe et évidemment silencieux. Le look est très sobre, dans le bon sens du terme. L'installation est très pratique & rapide vu qu'il y a des pads thermiques pré-installés. J'ai juste un rad 360mm donc surement moyen de descendre encore plus les températures avec un loop plus complexe.Seul petit bémol si vous voulez profiter du RGB ou de l'aspect visuel du liquide, il vous faudra acheter un riser pour GPU car l'éclairage est vraiment concentré au niveau du processeur et donc presque invisible sur un slot mobo.

Die Passgenauigkeit auf meiner 3090 ist nicht so gut, die GPU liegt gerade so auf den Heatspreader auf. Ich habe mich gewundert, warum die GPU immer auf 80° steigt. Ich vermute, dass die Wärmeleitpads der Kondensatoren zu dick waren. Habe anschließend einen anderen Wasserkühler einer anderen Marke verbaut, und die GPU war gleich 30° Kühler. Dort waren auch Wärmeleitpads in verschiedenen stärken dabei, und die Wärmeleitpads der 3090 war viel dünner, als die Wärmeleitpads auf dem Hydro X Kühler.

Lieferung OK, Qualität OK, aber leider falsch eingekauft bzw. nicht komplett ( Missverständnis )

The founder edition hasn't got a bad cooling as many say, or at least mine didn't. The fan was spinning at about 60% speed most of the time, with ramping up sometimes to lower the temp back belov 70degC. Temperature was never a problem, as soon as your case provides the right amount of air flow towards the bottom end of the card. The problem was a bit the noise: the fans are not extremely large, so they spin over 3000rpm at max speed, making them quite noisy when ramping up every now and then (I think the PID loop controlling them could be better, but it cannot be changed, if tweaked you revert back to a simple proportional control, while adjusting integral and derivative time of the internal PID would be better to me).Also, there is another small thing: even though the temperature was kept at 70degC, I was noticing the clock speed varying slightly when reaching such setpoint temperatures, like if it was slightly throttling, which I read seems to be normal.Undervolting a bit was making it better, but I wasn't 100% happy.I gave a go to a custom loop, using also an external radiator setup, so I can dump the heat out of the window in summer.The change is like night and day.The cooling plate works really well, it seems to hold about 10 degrees of offset between the liquid temperature and the actual chip temperature when under load. The 2x 240mm radiators will dissipate around 700 watts of heat, the GPU in total in the worst case will provide about 330w of heat, the CPU even if clocked in all core boost will add another 150w max. In fact the fans could spin at 2400rmp, but they hold the temperature perfectly at about 1100/1200 rpm, super silent, maintaining the best balance and efficiency of the radiators.The plate doesn't create any fluctuation in temperature, the GPU core is nice and stable.I just slightly undervolted and clocked at about 1920MHz in this test, while playing GTA5.I tried The Division 2 without undervolting to provide maximum load, and the highest temps I was getting were 55 degrees on the GPU chip with the radiator fans spinning slow and the liquid stabilizing at higher delta T. Faster air flow would reduce the delta T and therefore also the GPU temp, but 55 degrees is perfect, the clock would start changing above 60/65 degrees.I will monitor also the memory temps, but the plate has got thermal pads to keep them all cool, in fact I was monitoring the clock speed with FPS monitor in a few games and the results are perfectly stable.Conclusion: these cards should be water cooled by definition. Any other form of cooling do not make any sense once you try this, trust me...

- Totalement neuf à la réception (boite scellé) alors que commandé via Amazon Warehouse comme neuf- L'ensemble semble de bonne facture, le block et les filetages sont bien usinés. L- La backplate en comparaison est très fine : donc pour une 3090FE ayant des puces mémoire à l'arrière passer votre chemin, et diriger vous vers le block EK ayant la backplate active- Montage assez simple, j'ai ajouté des pad Gelid entre la backplate et le PCB vu que de base y'as que 2 petits morceaux, le reste j'ai laissé les pads d'origine (qui semble de moyenne qualité), et la pate thermique d'origine.- Le plastique des filetages fait assez fragile contrairement à un block EK plexi- Pas réussi à faire marcher le RGB : branché sur la CM via un connecteur RGB Header, enfin je suppose qu'il faut un contrôleur type Gigabyte Aura pour le faire fonctionner réellement.Config watercooling :- Pompe D5 PWM- EK WB Supremacy Evo sur le CPU- RTX 3080FE (+ ce block)- GTX 1080 Sea Hawk (WB EK)- Radiateur 420mm XSPC- Radiateur 280mm XSPCTempératures dans une boucle ayant 2 GPU (RTX 3080 + GTX 1080) :- Avant : 50°C idle / 80°C en jeu (mémoire : 100°C/110°C en comparaison)- Après : 30°C idle / 55°C en jeu (mémoire : 60°C en jeu (tester 5min) / 82-86°C en minage avec +900Mhz pendant 20h)
