Biggest waterblock I have ever had; over 1.5 kg by itself :eek:
RGB was easily removable, and the GPU's thermals are massively improved :toast:
Though I have not had much time to play with it since installing the waterblock, I did have to increase the range on Afterburners GPU Clock chart, as I was sometimes seeing over 3.3GHz from the 5090!
Really wish my card had dual 12V6X2 connectors; I am still power limited, but now have loads of thermal headroom :roll:
