Hi guys.

Quick question to decide to put it in a Fractal 2 xl mesh case.

i have the Air Suprim X but bad luck with the temps so returning.

Which one will you pick? The Strix and the Liquid Suprim have the same price here.

With the latest Gaming bios Bios at stock. No overclock at all.
71°C core, 77°C memory and 82°C hotsport

I got with 3d mark speedway stresstest in a loop 70c core, 80 c memory and 77c hotspot.
And those temps are really ok.

For me at least it is

Also de fanspeed is vow(about 1100 rpm) so temps can go a bit lower when ramping up the fanspeed

I like the liquid x for the reason all Gpu heat is exhausted out of case. With no heat from Gpu in case the ram is at least 5c-8c cooler. I have an aggressive fan curve so fans are 100% at 70c but Gpu stays around 45-50c with 9-12c hotspot diff. All running stock.
Edit: only downside are the tubes won’t fit on a narrower case without bending. I can’t put my glass panel on. Had to make shift a panel.

Benefits of owning Suprim Liquid X

-Not dumping waste heat into case. = Colder DDR5 Ram temps ( which helps ur stability )

- Overall good bin on them. 3000 core guarentee

-Best PCB next to HoF. (output filtering )

Benefits of owning Strix Air

-Best air cooler of all time. Completely overkill design. It can manage 700W loads..

- Coil Whine on Strix is hit or miss. You can have a nice silent card or a cw card WHILE Suprim have CW for almost all cards

-I2C header for serious business

-Second hand market is FAR BETTER of strix products and air cooler version compared to AIO

-I2C header for serious business
Could you elaborate on that -12C bit? I have no clue about GPU power limits and otherwise there is very little detailed documentation (that I can find) on the Strix 4090 OC. Are you referring to the rear fan headers?

Also, I was certain I had read that the Strix 4090 OC was 600 watt capable (TUF too?) ... is this true?

If you are speaking of fan headers, that will def come in handy as I modded two 140mm exhaust fans to mount on the acrylic side panel of my 780T case, placed immediately above the GPU to supplement the previous, single 140mm exhaust fan. This works fantastic but I control them via a manual controller. It would be ideal to simply install some PWM 140mm fans there and hook them into the GPU so they ramp up with the GPU load.

Thanks for any input...

I had the Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC for a while but didn't like the cheapish build quality and my otherwise lack of experience with their products. The Asus Strix 4090 OC and the Suprim Liquid X then became my top two replacement possibilities; MicroCenter re-stocked the Strix 4090 first and so that's what I'm now using.

The previous Gigabyte card achieved slightly higher stable clocks (3000 core/12000 VRAM) ... whereas the Strix is a bit more nit-picky (as per many reviews) but oddly, outperforms the previous Gigabyte consistently and at slightly lower clock speeds (~12885 core/~11700 VRAM). The Strix is also many times cooler running at much lower fan speeds.

I still ponder on swapping the Strix for the Liquid Suprim but I will most likely stick with the Asus card as it's serving my purposes well and after EVGA's pull-out, might possibly offer the most accessible service path should such become necessary in the future.

FWIW...

Here is some 3840x1600 data gameplay gathered in an hour-long session of CP2007 (this is before the DLSS3 patch and using DLSS 2.5.1); I am using the Asus Strix 4090 OC at its most comfortable/highest stable clocks for CP2077 which is a special case as the Strix card clocks higher on both core and VRAM in most other games.

OSD data throughout this capture shows the Strix core, VRAM, and hotspot temps; I label the VRAM temp as "GPU MEM TEMP" in the OSD. Watch with the 2160p4K/60fps option and at full screen as the OSD data may be smallish if viewing on a 24" or 27" monitor:


You can read the video description for more info if you like...

Interestingly? With the same full maxxed RT settings and after yesterday's release of DLSS3 for CP2077? The Strix 4090 now easily maintains 3000+ on the core in CP2007 using that tech. I have no idea what that could be attributed to...

But so far no complaints with the Strix card other than the fact that it's bigger than my 2-year-old niece lol ... but I've space for it and fairly decent case airflow so will most likely just stick with it. And @StreaMRoLLeR 's comment is legit; the Strix GPU does an amazing job at keeping things chill as long as you can handle the real estate tax.

I set fans at a static 65% for the above test but in general, keep them around 30% to 40% with hardly any variance in temps versus the 65% fan setting. The previous Gigabyte 4080 was generally always over 85C on the hotspot and core/vram in general were notably hotter running.

I think you'd be pleased with either the Strix or the Liquid X.

Best of luck,
