Active Backplates

[George Mirabella]

I feel that the Active backplate needs to start becoming more common in the water cooling GPU market. The frustration around buying compatible water-cooling components is already hard enough. Now I want an active backplate but the few available in the market are not compatible with my GPU. I have had several emails with EK regarding progress on new active backplates coming out and the information I received back was negligible. I hope someone has had to deal with this issue themselves. I have a ASUS TUF 3090 OC edition and it runs hotter than the Sun. Got a EK-Quantum Vector TUF water block on just my 3090 and it still gets hot with a passive cooling backplate.

I see similar numbers with my Optimus passive backplate to the active EK one.

That is really impressive honestly. Unfortunately Optimus does not make a ASUS TUF RTX 3090 OC edition compatible backplate yet. I will definitely be looking out for one in the future.

 

Thank you,
