Hello LTT Community,
So for 15 years all I used were beefy Air coolers and a good ventilated case. Be it for GPU and CPU For the CPU side I think Air VS Water is debatable.
And there are enough test also from you guys going around. Since I am my group off friends pc builder I got some request lately when the prices are sane again to build something.
At the moment I own a 3090FTW Yes with the 500Watt Limit bios. But even limiting to 350Watt pull I don't think normal air cooling can keep the noise tolerable anymore.
Every time I see the argument Water VS Air it's on the CPU. Or if there are GPU videos they are old from the time these cards didn't pump out 350+Watt.
I feel like this could be a good scientific video on GPU coolers and the capability of keeping it cool enough with tolerable noise. Or If GPU air cooling is not enough anymore for these 350watt cards.
3070Ti upwards running loads on stock cooler. Since the 3070Ti could pull 350watt as well easy.
I mean most are still stable with good boost under air I would presume. But damn the noise. I feel like I can't in good concious recommend high powered cards without getting a noise complain later.
