I don't overclock. If anything, I'll undervolt my GPU when mining.

Okay, thank you for the exaplanation. Is ~$950 a reasonable amount to spend on a water loop? I know about half of that is on the GPU block alone, but I do think EK has the best block for a 3090 FE.

As far as corrosion goes, EK lists the GPU water block as "The block's base is milled out of a 12 mm thick piece of pure electrolytic copper sourced from Europe, which is then nickel-plated". But then the CPU block is copper, and I'm not sure what type of metal the radiators are made from. Would it be ideal to have each metal element in the loop be as similar as possible?

I appreciate your help. I have the A12 fans as well that have the square frame (although I can't remember their model name).

My 120mm fans are Noctua NF-P12 and my 140mm's are Noctua NF-A15

I mis-typed my CPU...it's a 3900x

Custom water loop noob here... Below is a link to a custom loop that I setup using EK's configurator. https://www.ekwb.com/custom-loop-configurator/shared/oW608eeadbab34c My CPU is a 3600x 3900x, and my GPU is a 3090 FE. I want to make sure there will no issues with corrosion and that there are no parts I should be wary of (for instance, is the pump, reservoir combo okay?). I have a couple questions about the loop as well. 1. Do I need to use the fans it's suggesting, or can I use the Noctua fans I already have? 2. Do I need to use Cryofuel, or is just water okay? Would distilled water be best? 3. My current power supply is a EVGA P2 850 W 80+ Platinum, and my current power draw according to PC Part Picker is 613W. Would I still have enough to power the pump as well?

I think if I ran it at stock speeds (full fan, full voltage, etc.) then I could get it up to the 120 range. But my memory would also be sitting around 110C.

I've mined a bit of ETH on my 3090 FE, and I even swapped out the stock thermal paste and pads to try and lower temperatures. Right now, I'm running an under-volt on my card with the fan at 70% (for noise purposes) when mining to achieve around 106 MH/s. My memory temperatures hover between 90-94C. Is this a safe temperature for my card to mine in 8-ish hour increments? I'm not mining every day either...mostly just days I'm working at home. I just want to get your thoughts on these temps. I don't want to kill my card prematurely.

I've done some mining on my 3090 FE, and I replaced all the stock thermal pads along with the thermal paste. I'm undervolting my card, and I can get around 106 MH/s. My memory temps are between 90-94C. Is this a safe temperature for my card to mine at in 8-ish hour segments?

I purchased the Asus Proart display ($299 version). It arrived today, so I'm excited to set it up once I get home from work.

Do you mind giving me a link to a site where I could purchase the Dell. It looks like Dell is saying it's discontinued, and other sites have it, but for +$600. Does the '18' in the model number refer to the year is was released? Do you think the U2720Q would be the same monitor but just updated to 2020?

Thank you for the input. I could potentially swing the Dell for around $450 but I also see it on sites like this for substantially less at $213. There are three sites under Google Shopping that have it available at that price...any idea what's up with that? Maybe I could talk myself into downgrading to 1440p with the points you mention. Do you have any thoughts on this monitor?

Hmm, I just realized that the $300 pro art display is only 1440p. Would there be a good 4k recommendation?

I just pulled the trigger on the color calibrator
