Many members of the PC community have started to notice a glaring issue with their RTX 3080 and 3090 series cards – excessive vRAM temperatures. Fortunately, the boys over at EKWB have cooked up an interesting solution to the problem with their own actively watercooled backplate. Let’s see if it fixes NVIDIA’s mistake!

0:57 nope. The electronic components in your pc release *exactly* 100% of the electricity they consume as heat.
So we are in 2023 i got an opportunity to get a pny 3090 on water block ekwb and back plate for 900$ canadien $ from a 3D designer guy ….. does i should do it. It seem a fair deal … imjust not sure …. my rig is already on water cooling
Its also EKWB sex appeal.

Came here because my 3080 has its VRAM go up to 110 °C. MSI Ventus 3X Plus pro max or what not. Getting better thermal pads, now…
In the future your pc will basically be a microwave☠️☠️☠️
What the Hotspot temper is? My memory is max 82c and core 72c & Hotspot 105c-107c (Palit RTX 3090 GameRock)
This video probably saved my GPU and new hardware! I kid you not! I had a Strix 3090 OC in a Lian Li O11 XL with an EK water block, without ABP. The GPU was sitting horizontally in the case. The card was so big, it was blocking the airflow, which was designed to flow from the bottom, through the lower rad, fans pulling air into the case, then up to the top fans pushing air through the upper rad and then out of the case. The combination of the card's size and the heat those passively cooled memories were providing started to heat up the air directly above the GPU to the point where the tubes warped. As soon as I realized it, I shutdown the computer, mid game, touched the tubes at the point where they were connecting to the fitting, and water immediately poured out. I had caught the problem in time.
To fix the problem:
1. Investing in a vertical mount
2. Investing in an ABP
3. Bottom rad was a 60mm XE360. To make room for the vertical mount, I am changing all my rads to the new PE360
4. I had the side distro from EK. Investing in the Reflector 2 distro from EK
5. I had all PETG tubing on my previous hardware (i9 9900KS with 2080ti). Investing in acrylic tubing (12600K with 3090)
6. I will increase the rad / fan combo from 2 (1 bottom, 1 top) to 3 (1 bottom, 1 tom, 1 right)
Do not underestimate the danger posed by the heat the top of the card makes, especially if the card is choking off the airflow. If your airflow is from front to back, then you won't have the problem I had. I still will recommend investing in acrylic tubing if you have a water cooled PC. PETG is just not up to the heat the card puts out.
I know, I am going a little extreme, as the 2 rad combo and vertical mounting would have been sufficient, but once I had made the decision to upgrade the water cooling system, I decided to go all out with the maximum possible. I will post my results. I expect to be stable again after the investment.
If you are going to ask me why go with a 12600K and such hardware, the answer is:
I just bought the new hardware last month. I had heard the rumors already that the 13900K is expected to be released. To get an Asus Maximus Z690 Extreme and not get a K chip would have been crazy, and I really wanted the 13900K, so I decided to buy the 12600K and then upgrade once the 13900K is released.
Please be careful if you are putting the Strix / EVGA 3090 / 3090ti in the Lian Li and your airflow is from bottom to top and the card is horizontally mounted. The card is so big, it is choking the airflow directly above it, allowing for the heat to build up.
BRO 88 C Is normal for ram on this cards? mine go up to 90 c after 3 h of playing
Problem is the added height. Makes it unusable in top slot of a mAtx board.
Well that way we can slap a aluminum radiator for $10 at the back of a card with normal thermal pads and good to go. Add low speed fan if we need
What thermal pads should we use on the gpu
LHR didn't work but the crash sure did LUL
Why do people assume you can afford more if you have one expensive thing?
a the intro is dark mode
Cant you just take a low profile 80mm heatsink and fan for around $25 and thermal epoxy it to the backplate for likely more than enough cooling? I am not a fan of water cooling as it RARELY beats good air cooling and typically is FAR harder to install and cost FAR more money. This is just another case of the same thing.
(Side note) I also have problems with reviewers using overclocked benchmarks in CPU comparisons. Overclocking is done by only a tiny portion of the owners of these CPUs and graphics cards. The other thing I do not care for is MASSIVE power draw on the latest CPUs and GPUs. I do not run AC and in the summer the heat can easily get into the 80 or even 90s (F). Are these CPUs and GPUs going to throttle like crazy now. I know Intel pushes the envelope pretty hard on their CPUs and this greatly effects performance. I typically only use AMD's 65w CPUs and I am hesitant to upgrade my GTX 1060 (for both money and heat issues).
In a personal theory you could have a front and rear gpu block. but I think they should; 1: put the connections on the top of the backplate block and give it a 90 degree bend. Or 2: Make the connections to the front gpu block/backplate magnetic or have some sort of small quick disconnect, and have the water feed through the same line on both ends. But there is GREAT room for improvement on the backplate.
When will Linus respond to the floatplane criticism that's been floating around on the subreddit?
Had to buy this recently my trinity 3090 memory was throttling at 105 degs while gaming… It was frustrating as hell and zotac just said its within spec… So after active cooling the front and back I'm now hitting 60s at full load on the memory
This is why the 3090ti is the better option no matter what anybody says. Keep being in denial lol
So, nvidia mining locks are all hacked away at this point in time. Didn't even last a year.
dd kiwi co just bought sponsor secment in 1 VIDEO!!!!!
Before much longer, we'll need liquid cooling for our PSUs.

Is there 3080 which doesn't have this problem?
I have a waterblock with active backplate as well. Can't wait till I have it.
If you're already paying that much for a card i dont see why they cant just run a few heat pipes round back then have thme join of with the heatsink on the front.
One thing which i didnt understood… what was the final observation ? One should have active backplate as well as front waterblock cooling ? Is EKWB 3090 edition graphics card ( which doesn’t have fans, and have front liquid cooling instead ) resolved this issue of back memory chips ? Or it still just remove heat from front ?
My 3090 has been frequently hitting vram temps above 100C when playing games like CyberPunk. Gameplay is very smooth on the ultra-ist settings, but now I’m tempted to water cool for longevity sake
how about buying 2 water block hmmmm
For a 3060 msi trio gets way above between 56- 65°c then heats up the case to 100c with my ram 128gb 4400 and intell i9 11900k
