Nice Video. But the part about cost saving is just not true. The material costs savings are insignificant. This three part design has two advantages: a wider range of graphics card compatibility and not heating up the copper by components that don't need a lot of cooling.
If you think about it, this three part design is even more expensive to produce, because the assembly takes longer which is the main cost factor.
But I am happy that you still like the block even with the overhang ;)
Holy crap how did you guys find my little ol channel. If your taking suggestions, can you guys include 4 little nuts that work with the stock screws for the end of the pcb overhang? That way XC3 buyers will feel like it’s a more complete product when they get extra mounting nuts for their evga backplates
Do you guys perhaps have a 3080 Founder's Edition waterblock in the pipeline?
Are alphacool planning on releasing a EVGA specific block or will it stick to this reference design?
@@FrameChasers I'm now interest on purchasing an Alphacool system after watching this video...damn those temps were awesome !
Thanks for the info.
Damn brah you getting bigger =P haha @alphacool are you guys making a 3080fe waterblock
Man first you helped me stop having my card crash, and literally not even a day later you are going to help me get the air cooler off once I get an RMA for my XC3. Love your channel, keep up the good work!
Hello good sir! Insane result. Much higher clocks than I would have expected. Lyla will be pleased to sit near that case. All that lovely warm air for her.
1080P it,s not pushing your gpu to his limit
I have the same block. Zotac 3080 trinity 2145mhz is my max stable overclock. I'm happy with it.
This is great stuff man, thanks. I have a reference 3080 (and a ref 3090 coming) and this waterblock and the shunt resistors on order! It's all very exciting, yes. :D
so with the overclock compare how close you can get to the 3090
This makes me excited for my waterblock to get here from ek for my 3090
I have the exact same card and cooler. Same issue where that one back screw don't line up. I used the Alphacool backplate and thicker pads and been running max 50c at stock! With the 3 fan cooler I was hitting 82c. No regrets.
Why do you skip over all the crucial parts of the install process? :) As soon as it's "oh here's a tricky step" the video just cuts :)
Impressive numbers brother, EVGA just released a 450w BIOS, but I think it's for the FTW3 unfortunately. Good video, looking forward for more content
cheers for the video, i just went with the ek model it was $20 cheaper and express postage then alphacool cools one
I know this is old already, I just wanted to mention how "the EK block does cool the chokes" statement aged poorly. lol
Damn, I am having this exact issue now with EK blocks...
What's this issue, mind updating me a bit?
@@jockegw there's a few posts on reddit, you can look it up if you want, but to sum it up: EK designed the block based on the reference card, but this card uses much shorter chokes, so the block does not make contact with them at all (theres about a 5mm gap). Not a terrible thing, since chokes do not require active cooling. But again, it was advertised as cooling them.
@@diego30s Ah i see, thanks for the update! :)
is this at like low settings? 60% power would explain why its running so cool. crank up the settings and run at 4k.
Wow, that is nearly the half of the air cooling temps.
Can't wait for my cooling block.
Same setup I’m looking to go for if my xc3 ever arrives!
Oh cool, so you took the mismatched leg off the block and used a nut to screw it down, I didn't even think about that? I just left it unconnected and there were enough other screws that it didn't seem to matter. P.S. I don't think you should stop replying on TH-cam, if you think someone is a troll or just not serious, just ignore those people.
hello bro, nice video, is the first waterblock installed on this kind of model of RTX3080 EVGA XC3, i have the same video card, and im looking to install it, the question is, do you think this is the best option for waterblock? Any alternative for the same size on video card? (this is a litle short), and the name for buy this one? Thanks, amazing job
Bro that mouse and keyboard is off the chain! Where can I get ones just like it?
Well there's always aio ziptied to the core and the fans on the radiator blow in the direction of the vrm/mem.
Just on my XC3 ULTRA stock air cooler I got up to 1,950MHz and I added 150MHz to my vram. I hit 5,186 pts in MSi Kombuster benchmark at 1440p. Just for fun. I only gained 5 fps from all that. And I ran my fans at 70% (2,450 rpm). It really isn't worth it. If I were to gain an extra 200MHz from a $145 water block and flashing the bios to the 450watt FTW3 it wouldn't be worth it.
I would have to shunt mod, waterblock and bios flash to FTW3 for a TOTAL of 10-15 fps gain in benchmarks and gaming. Then it'd be worth it.
time to order a Tuf waterblock, cant wait to see more
The block itself is a lot smaller than other brands. I'm very surprised how cool these cards run. People are praising the asus tuf for being cool out of the box, but I think they should be praising nvidia.
You crazy for doing this and I love 💘 it keep up the good work 👏
I like to watch your product tests and reviews, I find them very helpfull but don't you think it is time to move on to 1440p at least. 1080p era is over, those cards (3080/3090) are specifically made for +2k gaming, mostly for 4k and most of us will use it for that purpose(4k). Your benchs doesn't help us to get an idea about 2k & 4k resolution performance. We don't get to see the full thermals performance under 1080p cause the card doesn't need to pull full wattage for 1080p resolution. This is like having a Ferrari engine in a VW Bug. :-)
I can tell you watch star trek.. No one else would say engage.
Sure are the pads on the backside too thin for your card. Its for a 3090....with memorymodules on the backside. There not to touch the pcb!
Ohh i Have waited long for this one!!
@Frame Chasers would you recommend installing thermal pads between the card and the backplate? Because the backplate has no function without thermal pads. In my opinion. Would be cool if you can make a little guide about that. (E.g where to place, thickness of the pads,...) Thx a lot and keep going :)
Edit: I am surprised that EVGA is so lax with the pads after the "debacle" with the GTX 1080
This waterblock looks cheap in person, and also a flow rate killer. This thing is super restrictive. Getting 12C delta T with my 3090. Also, backplate does not make good contact with thermalpad once installed, thermalpad for backplate should be thicker. Returning and getting the EK block...
Is that a ball mouse??
Please do a compare to a stock 3090...can it get there with this insane clocks? Appreciated and good content, thanx for all the info.
That opening, with a "semi-straight" face, was quality. Made me chuckle.
How many times did you have to shoot that before you could do it without laughing?
Hahaha I usually do all my videos in one take without a script, and then if I screw up I just keep going and edit out the screw ups
We want our CHOKES to be cool 🤣
see you later on twitch 🐱💻
I wonder how the card performs with stock power, without the shunt mod. How far can it get. If its even worth it without the shunt mod.
Was thinking about water cooling my 3090 founders but the damn card looks so nice almost seems a shame to water cool it.
wait Founders can fit that water block?
how are you increasing the voltage? ive tried everything to get past 1087 or what ever the 3080 tuff is locked at
get the water-block backplate... i would not of done the pcie shunt as they are close i heard to overdraw
Well you did all that work for pretty much for nothing. I don't know if there is a bin difference between yours or mine but out of the box xc3 ultra with air will get that 2205 MHz (atleast mine did). I think there is a different sort of limit because I can't clock any higher even the card is super stable even with air. I can send my 3d mark results to you if you like.
why would I care what your card boosts to... odd
what time zone are you in? i'd like to catch the stream but don't know the correct time.
p.s. it would be good if you updated your twitch schedule. :P
i would install the 400 watt bios then update to the 450Wat bios
nice, ive been waiting on my tuf waterblock to come in stock so they can ship it out.. ugh
Hey what size is the Allen nuts on the Fan for the 3080 rtx ti XC3? All of my allen wrenchs do not fit. From .05 - 1/16th, and nothing inbetween, and the fan is connected by something "inbetween that size range". obviously my Card box didnt come with an allen wrench -.- so annoying... anyone help me out here?
Don’t know if I missed it but what size radiator were you using? I’m curious how cool I can get a 3080 on a 240mm rad with a 10700k in the loop. I can’t go any bigger on the rad cause I’m running a SFF rig.
I have almost seen every video about the XC3 Ultra (?) and i am still not sure if its worth to get one since this is the only one available on my area.
Will be able to oc in a decent clock value and be competitive to other implementations?
And if not whats the real loosing lets say on a 1440p monitor while gaming?
Thank for your videos.
Omg i have that same mouse!
As a frame chaser, why would vertical mount a GPU? Don't you want the best performance you can get?
Diagonal mount is fastest. Everyone knows that.
What's your processor ? And how many radiators did you have ? Thanks :)
Hello, I just found out this channel.
Have you tried just undervolting it?
if yes, did you get much better termals/noise?
That looks like an old-school roll ball mouse 😳
Hi, I have a question, more like your or someone's opinion, I have a asus 2080 ti strix oc, and I can achieve 2160, stays around 2130 at 50c to 60c, I wanted to ask, should I sell it and get a 3080, or keep it, I'm happy with it, if I dont get 60 at 4k I use 3200x1800p, and it looks really good, just looking for a opinion😁
does it take away the from problem of gpu hissing sound when you watercool? or the "voltage sound" still present ?
hi.How does look Evga when remove the warranty sticker on the bolt?thanks
6pm, whats that uk time I dunno your time zone 😁👍
is the layout of the pipe run from cpu to the gpu ? does that mean u run the high tem cooling liquid between the gpu and cpu?
can someone explain to me how cooler temp = more efficient? 14:41
u play 1080p with a gtx 3080? whats wrong with u?
I play at 1080p with a 3090
Testing this at 1080p is not a good idea, you probably arent running the card at 100%
and you even say youre at 60% power
Tombraider isnT good to test the boost.
Actually, I have had a change of heart. I realise that your mind and soul is deeply rooted with Intel and Nvidia. These are your chosen allies so it would pain you deeply if a competitor outperformed your preferred tech companies. I have subscribed to your channel as I do really enjoy your down to earth verbiage and your steadfast loyalty to Intel and Nvidia regardless of what anyone else says. You stick to your guns and I like that, a person of integrity and strength. Thank you.
I am loyal only to the fastest
@@FrameChasers why is that i can't write my own comment ? i can only reply to another ones comment to get to you.... ??? why this? i was looking to make you a question since this card is being delivering tomorrow...
Does this block work with ftw3 ultra rtx 3080 ?
Will this work with the xc3 3070 ultra
Nice censoring/ blurring in the beginning : D
Nice mate 🙏👌
tjunction temps?
I got the same block from PPC and have it on hand, and have XC3 on its way from Amazon this Friday.
I wondering if I should sell the Asus TUF RTX 3080, and stick with XC3, not getting good overclocks with only 350W maximum power limit voltage craps out to less than 1v when it tries to go 2GHz+ even though temps are 50C, have to stick with only +120MHz on the core.
Any suggestions? What the maximum stock PW limit on that XC3 before modding?
asus tuf is 370w supposidly 117% power slider
@@dnsean03 True, however even slider at 117%..GPUz board power doesn't go beyond 350w from the 100% 320w...so it really just 110% even if the slider says 117%
@@UnboxingEngineer I've seen mine got to 360
@@dnsean03 Maybe spikes for a second or two yes
@@UnboxingEngineer well there was a bios update soo try those out
What's your radiator config please?
1200mm total radiator space, haha
Yet another rushed product, and not particularly well thought out, manufactured in an effort to maximise profits before anyone else produced a similar product.
What do you believe the results would be if this gpu was manufactured using the TSMC 7nm node. Firstly, if the gpu would overclock and to what frequency, secondly, what the TDP would be also on this 7nm node. I am attempting to gauge the benefit of changing from Samsung as there is a lot of noise on the web that Nvidia is changing to TSMC sometime in early 2021.
Yo whatsupp with the creepy face in the thumbnail ?
im getting the leaked noctua passive gpu heatsink when it comes out
in 5 years xDDDDDDDDD
13:24 what the hell is that screaming ?
If u just solder this and that... Bro thats Nvidias work..
PLEASE, please PLEASEEEE clean your mousepad!
TSMC 3080s incoming . RIP Samsung
That looks like a FTW card
Mmm rainbow vomit...
wonder why he shaved lol
Really with 3080 test in 1080p hahaha. sell someone a card that plays 3440 or 4k will be more useful to him. probably in 720p you can 2300mhz do hahhaha lol,
Sure run it at those voltages for a few years and see where it gets you. The cards are volt limited for a reason you know, doing this to break benchmarks is one thing doing this for every day use is just asking for a dead card within two years if not shorter. Just face facts, 8N Samsung node is awful and Nvidia should of just bit the bullet and gone with TSMC but their ego got the better of them. These cards are great performers already, whilst also being terribly inefficient. Those benchmarks AMD showed off at their event puts RDNA2 within 5% of a 3080 at 4K and we don't even know if that was their highest card and they are on a much more efficient 7nm TSMC node. Couple this with the 3000 series being probably the worst launched GPU in history, basically a paper launch, Nvidia chose to use their top die for the 3080 which hasn't happened in a long time, they chose to price competitively, we have the whole POSCAP fiasco, and now AIB's scalping their own cards to rip off the consumer, oh and drivers needed to fix crashing issues above 2GHz.......... This is AMD's time to bring back some competition and take some market share, if they screw this up they may as well stop making GPU's.
