ROG Strix Cooler

GOTS_OBSIDIAN · December 27, 2022

So as part of my current build I have a white ROG Strix 3070 but recently upgraded my CPU and was looking to do the same for my GPU. I like the current look of my PC and want to stick with the white ROG Strix cards but the white version of the 3090 is almost $500 more then the normal version. So my question is if I get a Black strix 3090 could I just switch the coolers between the cards. I've attached the PCBs on to the post. The one with the SLI fingers the the RTX 3090.

Thanks for any help

No, the coolers are NOT compatible between the cards. You would be better off deshrouding and painting the shroud white.

Thanks for your response. If you have the time could you please explain why they aren't compatible. Thank you
