Go get Prime95 from here: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/prime95/
32 & 64 Bit versions. - This program stresses your CPU & Memory & should warm things nicely for you.
You'll get to see how HOT your new CPU really gets & also how quickly it can recover under that Behemoth Cooler. :thumbs:
Got a new PC again for gaming and living room use. I wanted to buy it in October already, but the RTX 3080 were sold out straight away. Then I was waiting for AMDs answer to Intel, but with their GPUs and CPUs it was exactly the same. One week ago I saw that the shop I usually buy my stuff had then one of the RTX 3090 in stock, and instead of again waiting for probably months to get my hand on a RTX 3080, I eventually bought that one, a bit expensive, but loads of power. Got a 500€ voucher for that shop for my birthday last year, so that compensates a bit. Plus I'm gonna sell my HADES Canyon now.
So here's my newest PC setup:
CPU: Intel® Core™ i9-10900K
Mainboard: MSI MEG Z490 Unify
GPU: ZOTAC GeForce RTX 3090 Trinity
Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX DIMM 32GB DDR4-3200 MHz C16 (2x16GB)
Cooling: Noctua NH-D15
PSU: Cooler Master MWE GOLD 850 - V2
1st SSD: Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe M.2
2nd SSD: Patriot Viper VPN100 M.2 2TB
3rd HDD: Seagate Exos X16 16TB
Case: MSI MPG Gungnir 110M
Wow! That's quite a beast.
Might even manage to run Cyberpunk! Lol.

Everything should arrive today, as it was delivered yesterday morning to my PackUp in Germany. Had to send it to my PackUp station, as the RTX3090 was not available for Luxembourg. And usually our Post picks it up from there next day in the morning, and brings it then to our post office in my hometown where I get an sms and can pick it up, usually early in the morning. But unfortunately I didn't receive any sms yet :dry:
Finally everything comes together, made some pictures but unfortunately you don't see a lot, the huge Noctua fan hides everything.

That heatsink is huge! Why not liquid cooling? Would have saved a lot of internal space.
Really like the look of the case.
You are really lucky to have got a 3090. The 3000 cards are completely out of stock in most places globally at the moment. You could make a massive profit reselling online. Some are selling for £4k on ebay!
Well, this is annoying. The MOS fan is running all the time at full speed, 12.000rpm. I couldn't manage to resolve this, not through software like Dragon Center or Afterburner, nor through the fan control settings in the BIOS. Setting is set to silent mode, and even putting it to manual doesn't change anything, continues turning at full speed.
So I called MSI in the end, they asked me about the BIOS, it has the latest version, so they guessed that it's a fan controller issue and that I have to send it back. That's just great, damn.
A friend has a similar fan issue with a 3080 GPU. The fan was just running constantly full speed. The fan was connected via internal USB so he unplugged it to reset the fan and the GPU really didn't like that and started causing Windows errors, so he's got to send the GPU back.
So could it be a GPU hardware fault with these 30X0 cards?
It's not the GPU, it's the MOS fan of the MSI motherboard.
He's wasn't the GPU either, but his case system fans refusing to throttle via MoBo and software throttling. The issue however was the GPU blocking the system from slowing down the fans. To me it sounded like either a compatibility issue in either the Bios, the GPU firmware, or somewhere between the GPU drivers and Windows.

On top of this, my Chassis Fans were mis-behaving. They're hooked up to my CPU Fan Headers for convenience because I run a Water block. - Still with me......? :shades:
Run Zotac Firestorm, here's the greet screen:

After clicking on Spectra:

Click on the circled what looks like a slider button but isn't: (Grrrrr) :eyebrow:
Attachment 1198
Set FAN STOP SETTING to "OFF"
Heh! :sly: - Now Blissfully silent until used/needed & my Chassis Fans now behave as they should. - My SLI'd 780Ti's didn't do this. :nuts:
Zotac may now have changed this on their 20XX & 30XX Series Bios', but wonder if their might be some underlying issue here for you?
*Edit*
If this doesn't work for you, just send me your 3090 & I'll send you my two 1080Ti's. - I'm sure they'll be just fine for you! Attachment 1199
I'm sure DC would be up for that exchange! Lol
I wanted to go with an AiO cooling system, the NZXT Kraken X73, but after doing some research and watching this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEjm...ature=emb_logo), I went with the Noctua (again).

For starters, a 1/2" bore in your tubing gets way more heat away from the CPU on a good brand of Water block.
The Radiator on that NZXT is only half the depth of my 3 x 120 Rad....
I use a Laing D5 pump, probably the best there is in Water Cooled Computer build terms. You need a good pump to force a good flow though a half inch bore.
This kit will cost you about £300 (Plus a decent Case to house it all) but the temps will be way cooler than the NZXT solution @ ~ 160? -
I'm not knocking the NZXT & dammit, that Noctua is a proper "Munter", but, at least with the NZXT, it looks really really Sweet! :shades:
The guy proclaims these are the best coolers on the market right now, but probably isn't wise or bright enough to know there are better water cooling solutions than NZXT or Corsair ready to go Rad/Block Combo's.
The Ugly cooler helps GPU temps, cos those shitty brown spinny things help get rid of the GPU's heat....
Kind'a makes his review a Tad bias against the whole concept of Water Cooling for me bud. :thumbsdown2:
Does that mean I'm an Enthusiast or just a nutter? :hmmm:
You don't see the insides of my PC, it's almost against the wall, so I absolutely don't care about the looks. The case had to be "quite" compact, as I put it on a shelf next to my subwoofer, and this Gungnir case just fits, anything slightly bigger would not.
This PC was already 4.000€, that was my limit sorts off, it was even a bit lower before, as I wanted to get a 3080 and not a 3090, but due to permanent unavailability, I had to change, so it was already 1.000€ more expensive than initially planned. And to be honest, I never even considered installing any water cooling system, never had one, never needed one.
Plus the Noctua keeps temperature very low, don't need 10 degrees on my CPU, only to post a picture to say "hey guys look, I have the best cooling system, had to spend 500€, but now my CPU is at 10 degrees all the time, even when playing Cyberpunk in 8K".
4.000€ = A lot of money to have buried & not on show.
But if space doesn't permit, I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do! :thumbs:
So you don't fancy swapping the 3090 for a couple of AMP CORE Edition 1080 Ti's then? :whistle:
I can cover the postage both ways.... :lol:
Your PC is worth a lot more than my car. My car is rubbish though
