Are you using the glass panel or the metal "mesh" one? I've been getting amazing results with the mesh one, strix 3090 and ryzen 5900x with a Noctua U12A, almost test bench temps.

I gave up with the top fan, the cooler because of where it is was causing a top fan to be noisy probably from turbulence. The U12a barely fits, its seriously close to the GPU and it will hit the top fan if you only so much as to touch the top panel with the fan. Overall, I don't recommend that top fan on the inside, I'd either mount the fan on the outside on top of the panel or use a 140mm fan, mount with zip ties and have it well clear of the CPU cooler.

ADT-Link M.2 NGFF NVMe Key M Extender Cable to PCIE x16 Graphics Card Riser Adapter 16x PCI-e PCI-Express for M2 2230 2242 2260 2280 (25cm): Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific So I was looking at this, I'm going to use this for mining, no display, is there any cheaper alternative to this? I am planning on connecting a 3060ti to an nvme slot with riser, I have the necessary PCIe power connectors for it.

I have never heard of an adaptor on the PSU side connection, as those are generally proprietary to each manufacturer. Yeah, best bet is to contact Be Quiet themselves.

I personally find that MSFS loads the GPU even just sitting in the menu. First thing I'd check is your daisy chained PSU cable. Eh he should be fine with his 750w PSU, shouldn't cause any issues like this.

If you have hwinfo64 or similar software, check how much power your gpu is using, I had a friend running 2 PCIe cables with one pigtail into a 3080 FTW3 which needed 3 PCIe cables and according to that it was suffering from reliable voltage limits. In his case, "Reliability Voltage" was reading yes in things like Furmark, and the card was only pulling around 280w when it should be over 320w. If it says yes for you, then I'd think its an issue related to power delivery.

Ima be honest I think console is gonna be by far the best value here, basically 3070 performance for at most $630 CAD + tax for a PS5 disc edition (assuming you can get one), since you are only playing games on it. Just the GPU alone you're looking at spending at least $560 CAD for a base 3060ti, and that doesn't include anything else while still getting the same or worse performance as the new consoles.

Just hoping that it has SLI support

Well couldn't find a 5950x on launch day, guess I'm settling for a 5600x for now.

CPU: 3950x, about to upgrade to 5950x with Noctua U12A, D15S wouldn't fit with a 200mm fan on top and the CPU socket is too close to the top PCIe slot, so not enough clearance for GPU. Mobo: MSI X570 Godlike, only AM4 mobo with both SLI support and the correct PCIe spacing for the 3090s Memory: Recently changed to G.skill FlareX 3200mhz 2x16 CL14 (will post updated pics later), oced to 3800mhz 16-16-17-16-32 with ryzen dram calculator. FCLK is at 1900mhz Storage: WD SN750 500gb, Crucial MX500 2tb sata, WD4005FZBX 4tb HDD (featured in recent LTT video) in the hot swap bay GPU: 2x Asus TUF 3090 non-OC, same price as founders edition. Waited overnight with a friend at Canada Computers, he sold his to me at MSRP. Case: Cooler Master HAF XB Evo, also featured in the same recent LTT video PSU: Corsair AX1200i Platinum, it was the most powerful psu in stock at my local CC 2 Noctua 140mm A14 PWM fans in the front, 120mm S12A PWM at the back, 200mm A20 PWM on top. Had to use zip ties, fan wouldn't fit with the standard mount. Optical drive is salvaged from some acer prebuilt from 2008, didn't plug it in yet but looks nice. Using a Samsung RG90 ultrawide, 5120x1440p 120hz .

Huh he never mentioned that he did a review on this case before. That case tho, damn it has awesome airflow, enough for 3090s in SLI with top card maintaining 72 ish deg at stock settings.

Wait did he not even say what the GPU temps were?

I originally just stuffed the 2nd gpu in the Asus tuf board I had, there wasn't enough space between the 2 cards, since it had more conventional spacing for the PCIe slots. In that scenario, top card was pushing 85 degrees, which I considered unacceptable nor can you SLI that board anyways. Do remember that the current SLI bridge that exists for 3090 needs the 4 slot spacing between the pcie slots, which means the Godlike is the only choice for X570. Edit: I'll eventually post a build log later with pics.

Eyyyyy 3090 broke 6 million

Actually since then I basically completely revamped my setup. I tried the Asrock suggestions, but no SLI support, and explicit multi GPU just didnt work with anything I tried. The meshify C just doesnt work well with this setup, bottom card doesn't have enough room to breathe, and top card obviously has to deal with hot air from underneath. With the meshify C, top card was pushing like ~78 deg C, while bottom was around 75 ish. Now if you're going AMD, there really is no other choice to do this right except the MSI X570 Godlike, which means the Meshify C is out the window since it cant fit this E-ATX mobo. I switched to a Coolermaster HAF XB Evo, so bottom gpu can get proper amount of ventilation. Now, under load my top GPU really never goes above 75 deg, averaging 70 @ 375 watts, bottom like around 60 i think. at 85% fan speed.
