@jinze_zhang@AMDIntellectual@Optimus_WC Clock-for-clock, the 3090 Ti will obviously be faster. I wouldn't expect much of a performance improvement from this block. The thermals will be great, but realistically you might get another 1-2% over the HC in terms of gaming performance.
@Elec9t5 @Optimus_WC@Apollo_1321@Mavericksyao @Initial73437307 @renderboxes Not to mention, the 3090 Ti is expected to launch soon. I'm tempted to cancel my preorder of the block as well since there's no point in keeping a card I can sell for $3000+ and possible score a 3090 Ti for MSRP with a block from a brand that doesn't this long lol.
@Optimus_WC The temps on my Kingpin with the Hydro Copper block are atrocious. It's almost a 20C die-to fluid delta at a 500W load. The Optimus Kingpin block can't come soon enough! I'll be making a video with a comparison between the two blocks in terms of cooling performance.
@Optimus_WC Finally a quality block for my KINGPIN! The Hydro Copper block leaves a lot to be desired. There is a 15C delta between the fluid temp and GPU die temp for my KINGPIN under a sustained 480W load. That's the worst delta I've had with a GPU waterblock.
Upcoming content once the Crosshair VIII Dark Hero arrives (hopefully before the end of the month):
- i9 7980XE vs. R9 5950X in Productivity & Gaming (both overclocked of course!)
- PCIe 4.0 x16 vs. PCIe 3.0 x16 with an Overclocked RTX 3090
Optimus was taking too long to ship the AM4 waterblock I ordered over a month ago, which their website claimed orders would ship in 1-2 weeks at the time. You snooze, you lose. Heatkiller AM4 conversion kit to the rescue.
@Optimus_WC@TEAMEVGA I placed an order for an AMD Foundation CPU block on February 13th and it still hasn't shipped. At the time, your website claimed 1-2 weeks shipping time. Any idea when I can expect to see the product shipped?
Top custom 3070 (as of right now per reviews): 14,159.
Underclocked 2080 Ti (1650MHz at 0.737V): 14227

So gimping the crap out of my 2080 Ti still beats a custom 3070.
