Good! I'm glad you love it. Of all the cards I've tested, it's definitely one of my favourite. I'm just about to crack open an MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio - so stay tuned for that review soon!
@@randomstuff_21 I had liquid cooled CPU for many years, went through so many of them as they died after a year or so, I always thought liquid cooled was the best way to get full power and a quite PC, but since so many issues with AIOs for CPU I switched to a Dark Rock Pro and very happy with it, super quite and very efficient, just hope the GPU liquid cooling doesn't fail, think I would cry if that happened with such an expensive GPU 😆
@CC-Pi my heart would break too 💔🥲 I love the idea of liquid cooled, but I've heard a lot of problems come with it. If only I had an air bender for a pc lolol
I have one of these. Work of art. Replaced a 2080ti, so you can imagine the improvement. Very quiet. If you have the $$$, don't hesitate. I have an expansive case but nowhere to mount the radiator, so I leave it laying in the bottom of case with the side panel open to provide plenty of airflow. It's jerry-rigged, but it works.
That’s a huge improvement. And as long as the rad gets enough air, it’s up to you how it looks. That’s a good point for people who don’t have a spot on their case for a 240mm rad. Hang it out ;)
I just picked this card up over the weekend... WOW! I absolutely love it. I replaced my Red Devil 6900 XT, it is so much quieter and cooler. Oh and the raw performance is insane. I did not like the price, but I am loving the performance.
Very cool! I hadn't seen that case before. I'm glad it fits this card. I haven't done a mATX or ITX build before, so it's on my bucket list for the channel. If you have to pick a new smaller form factor case, do you have any recommendations?
guys, i just got the same card from the swedish tech store and it came without the plastic seal, but in the video it has plastic seal. Did i maybe get a used gpu or already opened gpu? should i be worried?
@dysn, it's possible you got a previously used card. I wouldn't be too worried but here are the things to look out for. Firstly, a lot of cards are getting returned due to coil whine. Have you tried yours yet? Secondly, there's a chance someone bought the card and couldn't fit the 240mm rad into their case, so they returned it. Thirdly, there are 3 fans to check and make sure they are working properly - one on the card, and then the 2 rad fans. If all those things check out, then you're good. Video cards are usually pretty bulletproof. Let me know how it goes.
Amazing video ! Subbed and shared. Black Friday,that sucker is mine. Right now, I have a PHANTEKS ENTHII SE black and red. 2x 180mm intake + 1X 140MM exhaust. It can handle any video card length upto Pro cards much longer then the STRIX 4090 OC., The OG build from 2019 is still the following, EVGA 2080Super FTW3 ULTRA ,Asus X570 TUF WIFI R5 3600 non X under a Noctua C14S, GSkill Trident Z Neo 2x16 3200 16 19 19 39 ,a Adata SX8200 512Gb nvme and intel 660P 2Tb game drive,a LG 24X DVD+LG 14X Bluray, LG B650-F IPS 32" 1440P 144hz. I just purchased a WD SN850X 4Tb during a flash sale for 399 Canadian dollars, and a LG 27"' 1440P 240hz OLED screen ! Its stunning. Very pricy yes. but oh so worth it. You have a great channel !
Awww, thank you so much for the kind words. Yes! You should definitely pick up this card once it's on sale. Ohhh, very fancy OLED monitor. I recently got a new laptop for work and it has an OLED screen and it's soooo incredible. I'll have to look into something for my main PC as well. Thanks again for watching!
I only used that card for a couple of weeks, but I recommend every buy a dedicated 12vhpwr PSU cable such as the ones I recommend here: th-cam.com/video/IpujnC1lGY4/w-d-xo.html The adapters work well, as long as you plug them in tight. Same with the dedicated cable.
@cf9699 you are correct! The 750w Lian Li SFX power supply didn't have enough ports, so I instead I used my Corsair RM1000X power supply to power it. Technically a 750w power supply is the minimum required size for an MSI 4090, but I would recommend bigger.
Beautiful machine there! What shocked me is how thick your 3090 is. I have the 3080 FTW3 and it's thick, but not that thick. With mine, I have to remove the GPU to get to two of the NVME ssd's. I'm still on a high: I built a white Define-7 with the 13900K Raptor and it flies! The thinnest 4090 I've seen is from that company that makes clear acrylic water blocks, and they look great also!
@Dave, thank you very much! Yes, the 3090 Ti is a thick boy. Just as thick as the new 4090 FE. Your system sounds like a great build. Hope you're loving that 13900k. How are you cooling it? As for thin GPU cooling solution, yes, a waterblock is always your best bet if you are comfortable with a custom loop. These closed loop all-in-one coolers are the next best thing :)
Radiator is upside down. Hoses should be at the bottom. Air collects at the top, so you don't want air bubbles going to the pump. Nexus has proven this very thing time and time again for AiO systems; CPU and GPU.
Good eye! Yes, I realize the ideal position is tubes down, but I also know that tubes up is fine as long as the top of the rad is higher than the CPU or GPU, which they are. It does mean that bubbles may get trapped at the top of the radiator and make noise, but it doesn't affect the performance nor make any audible difference.
I see it now the PSU is modeler and large and fastened to the pack side and was removed when he was making this video, until he powered it on. you can see when he plugs the power lead in.
Just to confirm, when you say 'wires' you mean 'tubes'? If that's the case, when front mounting, ideally the tubes are down. But, you can safely do tubes up as well, as long as the top of the radiator is higher than the water block (CPU). Here's a great video explaining it: th-cam.com/video/DKwA7ygTJn0/w-d-xo.html
Hi! I have this card but when it’s full load the water pump make unusual noise. Not sure if all suprim liquid x have the same problem. What about yours? Thanks
I don't have the box for the 4090 Suprim Liquid X anymore, but I do have an 4090 Gaming X Trio, which I hope it similar. It's 16.5" x 11.5" x 5". Hope that helps!
Yes! You can most definitely have it on the outside of your case, assuming you have a hole big enough for the tubes. I'm curious, what case are you using to try this?
hi there! what cable or cables did you use to connect from power supply to the RTX4090 suprim? I saw you had a white cable connected to it, I connected the adapter to it and then it says it needs 4 pcie cables going from power supply to that adapter
@Earl, in that video I was using the Lian Li 850w SFX power supply which comes with a 2x8pin power connector to that 12pin but it doesn't work! I wasn't able to boot the card using that cable. Instead, I connected 4x8pin power connectors to my Corsair RM1000X power supply. Since then, I have purchased the Corsair 12pin 600w cable which uses 2x8pin power connectors, but works for 4090s. What type of power supply are you using?
@@JohnLCharette I got a 1000w asus thor p2, so I have 4 pcei 8pin cable from the psu to the adapter than comes with the msi liquid suprim 4090 adaptor and that to the videocard
The only way you'd get the pipe as the highest point would be to vertically mount the GPU and then mount the rad on the bottom. I don't recommend this, as I don't know if there is much room in the pipes to manage the flow of water back and forth if there's an air bubble blocking the tubes.
@Uruwashii, I didn't experience any coin whine with the card I was testing but have heard quite a few people complain about it. I just finished testing a TUF 4090 which had some coin whine though. I recommend buying one from a retailer that allows for returns, such as Newegg.
How was your coil whine ? What was your mem temp during 450W load ? I was excited to find a unique small review but only to be disappointed that there is zero data on ur video
Hey @StreaMRoLLeR, thanks for watching. I do my best to add as much information as I can, but I'll definitely try and do better about visualizing it. As for your questions, there was no coin whine at all with mine, but I've heard some of these cards have some. I mention thermal temps at th-cam.com/video/FDUWhvhwzfY/w-d-xo.html, with VRAM temps of mid-60C's at full load. This card performs very well. Are you considering getting one?
@@JohnLCharette Yea but overclock net forum and youtube is plagued with heavy cw suprim's. Either Strix or Suprim for me. Suprim have no I2C header and strix have a bit worse pcb. Currently I found one Liquid X for 2800 usd. Maybe i should wait for " not scalper " prices
I'm team Strix myself. I just ended up snagging a Strix 4080, an FE 4080 and an Asus TUF 4090 at retail price. Still haven't come across any Strix 4090s though. When I find one, I will definitely review it and compare to both Suprims. I may even post some temp scores ;)
@@JohnLCharette update. Bought Liquid X for 2200$ + vat. CRAZY CW. I dunno how u guys say mine card is fine. Its surpassing my 1700 rpm T30 fans. Luckily my sample reach max 66 mem temp and 52 on core :) Those T30 fans helped a lot
Horizontally is the traditional way to mount it but vertically also works. My only concern about vertically mounted GPUs is if your side panel is too close to the card, it could limit the air intake ability for the on-board fan. That fan cools the VRAM, so it's pretty important. So, for that reason.. yes, I would mount it horizontally, assuming you don't have another card right below it causing the same problem. I hope that helps. What case are you installing it into?
I almost got this but decided on the TUF instead for one single reason. You can't resell a AiO graphics card for very much and with how expensive these things are I want to try and get at least a few hundred back in the future.
@@JohnLCharette I am hoping I win the lottery and don't get that problem. I just ordered recently so depending on availablity it might be a few weeks. I only saw the coil whine on a couple of reviews and I wear headphones anyways so not much of an issue. The other cards are way more expensive and they look gross especially the ROG Strix. This is my first PC where I am actually invested in all the RBG I can get so stuff has to match.
When I tested the TUF 4090, it definitely wasn't as bad as the MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio I just tested. I mentioned in my TUF 4090 review that if you had the side panel of your case on, you probably wouldn't even notice. Especially if you're saying you wear headphones, I'm thinking you'll be okay. That's very exciting that you're working on a full RGB lighting build. What colour are you using as a theme?
@Decoy, you mean the side glass panel? Yeah, I always test cards with it off so that I can see what's going on and hear for coil whine. I don't think there'd be an issue, other than maybe the 4x8pin adapter. I highly recommend you buy a dedicated 12v cable for all 4000 series cards. Have you picked up one of these cards yet?
@@JohnLCharette I don't have one yet, or the case even. I'm mostly worried about putting a tight bend on the AIO tubes as there will only be 30mm clearance to make that bend.
Yes! You can use the EKWB water block for this card. I just confirmed using their configurator here: www.ekwb.com/configurator/step1_complist?gpu_gpus=5810. Not sure about other brands of water blocks though.
@@JohnLCharette That is so awesome. Thank you for letting me know. I'm definitely getting this so I can have a custom loop. I really want a 360mm instead of 240. Why they put a tiny radiator on a premium card is crazy to me.
@@JohnLCharette I can't tell too much. I haven't even built a pc before, let alone done a custom loop. I plan on using Corsair parts with hard line. If that proves to be outside my skill level, I may just use soft line.
Good call using Corsair, especially if you're doing a white build. I've seen some really nice setups. I'm planning on recording a video as I create a custom loop for a Threadripper build. Should be fun!
Keep trying to snag one. I’ve purchased all of these cards I review using the method showcased in one of my videos: th-cam.com/video/EZw7Oygk4WE/w-d-xo.html. Try it out and let me know.
I got one for MSRP sold and shipped by Newegg yesterday and they were in stock all day long. I kept checking to see if I lucked out or if there were many in inventory.
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST I manage to get mine back before christmas off newegg too. The site was bugged for like 30mins, i kept trying to check out for 30mins before it went through lol.
Its ridiculous about the 4090 on price. I could understand paying a couple hundred over msrp but not double the price. Its not worth 3k. Everyone is sold out unless you want to pay 3k...for that price you could get 2 4080's and run them in SLI. I wonder what the performance would be doing that.. might be a better idea. SLI is the new MeTa..😂😂
@turboimport95 oh yeah, the scalper prices are ridiculous! Please don't pay that much for a card. As for two 4080s in SLI, Nvidia has removed support for NVLink, so that isn't an option. Your best bet is two 3090 Ti's in SLI ;)
Yeah, they are still tough to find. I walked into a store and asked about 4090s, they said he had one on the truck. Took another two weeks before they called me.
happy that reviewers who know they can't actually fit the gpu in their case are able to buy a suprim liquid as their third 4090 😂 hopefully we'll all be so lucky soon. meanwhile this is the only 4090 that will fit in my case without requiring an upgrade, but I still wouldn't mind getting an O11 to show off any of suprim with a front mount
ASUS hasn't released a liquid cooled 4090 Strix yet, so there isn't a direct comparison. If you compared the 4090 Strix to the MSI Suprim X air-cooled, I'd personally go with the ASUS Strix. I have heard that the power phases are better on the Suprim, but I like Strix design more than the new Suprim design. Are you leaning one way or another?
@@JohnLCharette I have this MSI Liquid Suprim, because the Asus was expensive than this, then the design is the only reason the Asus rog is better? In performance which one win?
I haven't directly compared the two, but from my experience, the Suprim Liquid X that you have is the best performing GPU when you overclock it. I would be surprised if the ASUS Strix can compete without water cooling.
I have this GPU, it's amazing!!! never had a GPU so powerful and so quite before... it rocks!
Good! I'm glad you love it. Of all the cards I've tested, it's definitely one of my favourite. I'm just about to crack open an MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio - so stay tuned for that review soon!

Suprim liquid 4090 is a hybrid air cooled and liquid cooled. The liquid cools the processor and the memory. air cools the rest.
Exactly! I really like how you said that. That's definitely why it's still so long. I'm curious why they decided to go with that design.
Most reviews are saying it keeps the GPU cool but the memory gets hot so some are modding the memory cooling setup.
@@JohnLCharettebecause it's a proven design.

The other cards are way more expensive and they look gross especially the ROG Strix. This is my first PC where I am actually invested in all the RBG I can get so stuff has to match.
When I tested the TUF 4090, it definitely wasn't as bad as the MSI 4090 Gaming X Trio I just tested. I mentioned in my TUF 4090 review that if you had the side panel of your case on, you probably wouldn't even notice. Especially if you're saying you wear headphones, I'm thinking you'll be okay.
That's very exciting that you're working on a full RGB lighting build. What colour are you using as a theme?
@@JohnLCharette All of them. :P Its gonna look like Rainbow Bright smashed her car into the My Little Pony bus.
Hahaha, My Little Pony.. love it. I do the same with most of my builds. I love the default rainbow colours.
Was hoping you'd put the side panel on because I'm hoping to cram one of these in a Fractal North which has exactly the same side panel clearance.
@Decoy, you mean the side glass panel? Yeah, I always test cards with it off so that I can see what's going on and hear for coil whine. I don't think there'd be an issue, other than maybe the 4x8pin adapter. I highly recommend you buy a dedicated 12v cable for all 4000 series cards. Have you picked up one of these cards yet?
@@JohnLCharette I don't have one yet, or the case even. I'm mostly worried about putting a tight bend on the AIO tubes as there will only be 30mm clearance to make that bend.
Hmm. yeah, I see your concern. Have you considered mounting it vertically instead?
@@JohnLCharette I have thought about it, but I would prefer not to block the remaining PCIe slots. I may ultimately just choose a different case.
Another great video but what are you doing with all these cards? lol
Purchase them, review them and then hopefully resell them for what I paid. Glad you enjoy. Thanks for watching! I'll do my best to keep finding cards.
Can you custom cool this model with a waterblock?
Yes! You can use the EKWB water block for this card. I just confirmed using their configurator here: www.ekwb.com/configurator/step1_complist?gpu_gpus=5810. Not sure about other brands of water blocks though.
@@JohnLCharette That is so awesome. Thank you for letting me know. I'm definitely getting this so I can have a custom loop. I really want a 360mm instead of 240. Why they put a tiny radiator on a premium card is crazy to me.
Ohh, tell me more about your custom loop. I haven't done one myself yet, but I have 90% of the parts collected. What parts will you be using?
@@JohnLCharette I can't tell too much. I haven't even built a pc before, let alone done a custom loop. I plan on using Corsair parts with hard line. If that proves to be outside my skill level, I may just use soft line.
Good call using Corsair, especially if you're doing a white build. I've seen some really nice setups. I'm planning on recording a video as I create a custom loop for a Threadripper build. Should be fun!
Still stupidly expensive, but I was able to snag one of these off Amazon at MSRP.
Wow, that’s amazing! Especially for Amazon. What case are you using and where did you mount the rad?
“And see what it’s all a-boat”
“R-ahdiator”
Loving my Canadian accent are we? ;)
Why do you care so much about RGB, if you have a beast of a graphics card.
Haha, I go through phases with RGB. My current build has zero RGB though: th-cam.com/video/KxdNBWBHXA4/w-d-xo.html
@@JohnLCharette Oh orite I understand
WHy does this whole video sound like a guy lifting weights lol
This is the one i want the most due to the size, its just impossible to get at msrp ;c
Keep trying to snag one. I’ve purchased all of these cards I review using the method showcased in one of my videos: th-cam.com/video/EZw7Oygk4WE/w-d-xo.html. Try it out and let me know.
I got one for MSRP sold and shipped by Newegg yesterday and they were in stock all day long. I kept checking to see if I lucked out or if there were many in inventory.
@@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST I manage to get mine back before christmas off newegg too. The site was bugged for like 30mins, i kept trying to check out for 30mins before it went through lol.
RAYdeeYAYtor not RADeeYAYtor 😉🤗
Ha! Looks like we are both right depending on where you are from: th-cam.com/video/SxGs_Y7pr1s/w-d-xo.html
Its ridiculous about the 4090 on price. I could understand paying a couple hundred over msrp but not double the price. Its not worth 3k. Everyone is sold out unless you want to pay 3k...for that price you could get 2 4080's and run them in SLI. I wonder what the performance would be doing that.. might be a better idea. SLI is the new MeTa..😂😂
@turboimport95 oh yeah, the scalper prices are ridiculous! Please don't pay that much for a card. As for two 4080s in SLI, Nvidia has removed support for NVLink, so that isn't an option. Your best bet is two 3090 Ti's in SLI ;)
Beautiful card, too bad it's out of stock still...
Yeah, they are still tough to find. I walked into a store and asked about 4090s, they said he had one on the truck. Took another two weeks before they called me.
happy that reviewers who know they can't actually fit the gpu in their case are able to buy a suprim liquid as their third 4090 😂 hopefully we'll all be so lucky soon.
meanwhile this is the only 4090 that will fit in my case without requiring an upgrade, but I still wouldn't mind getting an O11 to show off any of suprim with a front mount
Stay tuned, I have a couple 4080 reviews lined up as well! If you end up installing one with an O11, I'd love to see it.
Its the 4090 i want too, was considering the O11D evo but its sold out right now lol well not like i have a build to put in it without the gpu.
worthless. no technical data and of course it ran 10 degrees cooler, you didn't have it in an enclosed case.
These def run 10-15+ degrees cooler, regardless if the case was on or not.
This vs the ASUS ROG which one is better?
ASUS hasn't released a liquid cooled 4090 Strix yet, so there isn't a direct comparison. If you compared the 4090 Strix to the MSI Suprim X air-cooled, I'd personally go with the ASUS Strix. I have heard that the power phases are better on the Suprim, but I like Strix design more than the new Suprim design. Are you leaning one way or another?
@@JohnLCharette I have this MSI Liquid Suprim, because the Asus was expensive than this, then the design is the only reason the Asus rog is better? In performance which one win?
I haven't directly compared the two, but from my experience, the Suprim Liquid X that you have is the best performing GPU when you overclock it. I would be surprised if the ASUS Strix can compete without water cooling.
