I’ve had my this waterblock sitting on a shelf for almost a year now. After finding this video I think I have the confidence to give it a try. Thank you!
I did this install about a week ago and I appreciate you calling out the back plate to io shield difficulty.. I was able to get it in the ball park and then used a closed pair of scissors to keep tension on the nut while I tightened the screw down and it worked well.
I appreciate you taking the time to make a video about this block as there isn't much info online and a video like this is much better than their installation guide. I don't subscribe to much, but you earned one today. Thanks
found your video after Sh!#@ing my pants after having the pcb fully removed from the OE cooler and looking at the bitspower guide only to sh!#@ my pants again. Thanks for the guide! *hands are still shaking doing this*
thanks mate this is very usefull, I am about to install the same block and its my first time 'dressing a gpu :) ' and this is SO much better than the bitspower installation instructions!
Thanks for the video. Very helpful for both 3080 and 90 FEs like yours. Mine works great and keeps my memory much cooler 20-30C vs stock which was a concern of mine. The longest part as you eluded to was cutting all of the thermal pads. About 70% of the work even including getting into the loop. Hi Ho Hi Ho...
@@whywhyman I am running the 3080 and mem temps hover around 102 @ 10250(X2) memory speed in a ~70F room. This goes down to the lower 90s at normal stock memory speeds and even further during normal gaming sessions.
@@grahamacademy8810 Cool thanks for sharing, I’m waiting for mine to ship! I’ll be vertically mounting mine with the cooler master v2 bracket as well as a pcie 4.0 linkup riser cable and will need to figure out how best to hide the 12-pin adapter and cabling it with my dual 8-pin rgb lian li strimer plus cables :)
@@Reeeepicheep Wow those cables are amazing! It really sucks though because you will be hiding most of that color with the lame 12pin adapter. Honestly I think you might want to give up on the light-up cables for the 3090 because the last 5 inches of it (the part you see) will always be an adapter. You could use something like this to at least add some color www.etsy.com/listing/860022886/customized-unsleeved-sleeved-silicone?gpla=1&gao=1&
@@grahamacademy8810 Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I just ordered myself one. I’m hoping I can use the lian li strimer rgb cable comb with this by swapping out the wires and putting this etsy one in.
I have a Gigabyte 3080 ti Gaming OC and the Bitspower is the only block that covers 4 small diodes that is cooled by the stock fan but the Bykski, Barrow and Alphacool all ignore. Thing is that the Bitspower is MAD expensive and nearly $300 shipped from Taiwan.
Really helpful video, and the intro was worth the work off effort imho, GJ! My 3090 FE has serious VRAM temperature issues, bolts up to 110C when I open any miner. I need to mine when I'm not gaming to pay off the ridiculous cost of the card! I don't think I can swallow that EKWB price...maybe Bitspower is the way to go.
What are your vram temps like? I have two 3090fe cards for rendering and whenever I use heavy raytracing, render or mine, the vram temps routinely hit 110c.
I have the same card and block. My vram would stay around 96 to 100c while mining eth. I purchased some heatsinks on Amazon and attached them to the backplate and it lowered the Temps about 6 to 8 degrees C. This is in a pretty warm room. When it is cold at night the Vram would get down to 86c while mining. While gaming the vram Temps are well below 80c.
Are there thermal pads on the top of the card making contact with the backplate? I'm using my card to mine and it instantly throttles from memory temps (110C!) even when underclocked. Wondering if this would help mem temps
I see you have other 3090FEs and are also mining. Are you experiencing any thermal throttling from mem temps? I'm thinking I might just need to replace the thermal pads
I just installed the block on mine and I’m hitting about 64c on memory and 40c max temp on core. I noticed the updated instructions on the bitspower site the other day. They changed which pad thickness to use compared to the earlier versions of the instructions
dude your video is so friggin good. i loved you told us about the nut on the back side and the backplate this video sold me on the bitspower block i just ordered it and redeemed some amazon points lol final cost was 121$ i cant waittttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt to see the rest of the rig together because i also mine with my rig. i currently use nicehash and average 5 to 7$ profitability but i wonder if there is a better program also it wont run my 9900k at 100% it peaks at 60% and i ran as admin and changed priority in task manager
Oh really? I found nicehash does a great job maxing out my 3990X, other programs will only use maybe 50%. How much is electricity where you are? $5-$7 is great.
Lol good eye. Whenever I was shooting footage of myself the video and audio quality was just horrible. It was something wrong with my setup and it will be better next time. And yes they are Aryas and I love them! Next time I think I will wear something smaller though hahah
@@grahamacademy8810 Yeah those babies leak a ton of audio. I have a pair myself and my 6 yo gfs son would tell me I'm going to go deaf when he hears me with them on, when really I'm at safe audio levels lol.
I got this too, but I'm not using it. I think it's meant to provide some airflow, but if your case has any airflow at all you should be fine. Didn't get any instructions either.
Nice video, this looks like a good block, 35c is a great temp. Only place I can buy it from is Bitspower's official shop and by the time currency conversion, plus shipping and tax kicks in, this could probably be closer to £200, at that point I'd rather splurge and get the EK 3090 block or save some money and go with the Corsair Hydro X 3090 FE block for £150 Great video though
Yea the corsairs would be cheaper for sure. I will have to check out some reviews on them. I really wanted something more unique though. The EK blocks really do look amazing, I just wish they were on the market
holy shit thank you bro!! that power cable lifting up and clasp sliding back helped me understand it alot better. i am about to watercool my 3080 fe for my first custom watercooling it will run on its own radiator what is a decent but inexpensive radiator?
Honestly I don't know enough to compare radiators. I have always gone EK for radiators and pumps and I use the vardar fans. They can be expensive so I am not sure if I am the person to listen to haha.
For your multi GPU liquid cooled set up do you use 1 large pump or does each GPU get its own pump and own radiator? I was thinking about connecting the each GPU's water block with a few Y-connectors.
Fantastic work! How was the lead time and buying experience? I'm in the same boat of waiting for EK. Exactly the same sentiment as you had at the beginning of the video. How have they been running? I'm hesitating, as it's Taiwan and says "Pre-order 3-20 days"
Can I share your video on my upload for my review of this block? I haven't made an assembly video for this particular one, but did use it and think it would be helpful to the viewers when I upload it?
It will be used for rendering and machine learning. I bought most through eBay for about $2100 each. Certainly that is a premium but still cheaper than the RTX Titans I had before this.
Thanks Robin, its really v helpful !! by any chance do you have the installation guide pdf, I am in the middle of installation and link is no longer woking
@@everythingnothing1588 he took off the stock heat sink, so now hes got a spare 3090 heatsink lying around, could use it as an expensive paperweight, was just a funny thought
Did you have a small gap between the backplate and the block? My screws are all the way in and there’s about a inch or so play. I also found in general the screws strip very easy
Hi, excellent video and presentation! I was curious to know if there is a single-slot IO bracket that can be used with this Bitspower block? I ask because it seems like the water cooler without a backplate would permit for multiple cards to work fine without the need for any spacing between slots on the motherboard.
I still can't find anyone running this exact block on a 3080 on youtube lol. Or 3090. I need major help with my build. Mine is torn down now and I'm lost lol
I use this water block with a graphic card to run game, and the temperature was about 70. This water block is definitely designed for gaming high perf gaming.
This is probably the worst 3090 fe block available now that the alphacool, corsair, and ek blocks are out. The finstack is rotated 45 degrees and is too small to cover the whole die. From what I can tell from user testimonials it runs 3-4C hotter than other blocks.
With no active backplate, total profit will be minimal :( but EKWB 2 sided is about 500€ and bykski N-RTX3090FE-TC 2 Sided can break card by wrong screw installation force, that’s why my 3090fe is still on stock cooling 😅
It’s being water cooled, we know it is like 10x better than the stock cooler. Anyway there are other people on YT that are much better at doing all of those tests. I just like to play with stuff and record it.
so, how does someone get their hands on more than 1 of these cards? did you just shell out for all the scalper prices? or are you one of the bot users? either way cool block but making videos showing you have more than 1 card is an shit move.

You can find these blocks now for $60 at Microcenter! Picked one up the other day and going to install it on a 3080 FE. Sick block
Just bought this block to attempt my first water cooled build. Thanks for the overview!

Thanks, it took me a week!
Thank you so much. I happily subscribed you and shared your video. Please keep making these very best quality videos.
Good vid. I'm using this for a 3080FE card and a bitspower block. I trust they are close enough in design that I'm not gonna F it up.
Yea it should be fine. Let me know how it goes!
can we see some photos of the GPU block with the RGB and cabling and everything?
Sure, let me know if you can see this photo I just took.

which hole is the inlet and which is out?
Very nice video, step by step sooooo cool . good for you and thanks.
Awesome, let me know if I missed anything.
Why none of these videos show how to connect it to the pump and how to secure the pump in the tower? Is there no pump?

Did you also get a mini fan with your bitspower waterblock? There are no instructions where to install it..
You got a fan? I have no idea where that would go. What does it look like?
@@grahamacademy8810 I think it gets attached to the backplate in the area where you mentioned the difference between the 3090 and the 3080.
