EMTEK Launches Blower-Style GeForce RTX 3090 Graphics Card
EMTEK has only graced our news feed once before, mostly due to it being a behind-the-scenes board partner for NVIDIA. More than release their in-house designs, the South Korean company usually provides them for other AIBs, such as Palit. However, the company has recently been moving their graphics cards towards the consumer market as well, and the latest in the batch is a custom-designed GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card, marketed under the "Blower Edition" product SKU.
The "Blower Edition" RTX 3090 from EMTEK features a more mainstream dual-8-pin power delivery connector with a twist: the company adapted NVIDIA's PCB design and added a daughter card, which extends the original PCB so as to allow the connectors to be placed in the more practical manner of generations past. The RTX 3090 "Blower Edition" otherwise offers the usual 3x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI connectors, and features a bronze design with a bronze backplate as well; a somewhat subdued design language is used, though the color choice would be a hard one to integrate into most hobbyists' systems.

Nobody sensible is trying to squeeze a 3090 into a 7L SFF.
Seriously, with the reliance on temp-dependent GPU Boost these days you may as well buy a lower tier card because something tells me this is just another lazy off-the-shelf GTX 600 series blower design. Not gonna get 3090 performance out of this one.
This is a Titan card after all, it just lacks professional drivers. But it's still a great card for workstation tasks because of the VRAM amount. So 4 of these in a workstation would provide better cooling than a regular cooling solution and most of the cooling solutions on the market are more than 2-slots anyhow, so you'd probably be limited to 3 or even just 2 cards in a normal 7-PCIe-slot workstation.
wtf
To give AMD some credit, the 5700XT's slot cover isn't too bad for airflow but those slats still make extra air noise that simply isn't necessary.
They attain full performance with zero problems. Yes, the VRAM heats up to >90C, but then it does the same with AIB cards and even FEs.
Puget tucked four of them in a standard case. No throttling down, full perf: www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Quad-GeForce-RTX-3090-in-a-desktop---Does-it-work-1935/Which 3090 did you buy, exactly?
The 3-slot designs I heard about were all silent...
Great for static pressure but are they quiet? (relatively speaking, ofc - I'm used to working a datacenter where all you can hear through the earplugs is tens of thousands of delta fans screaming at 6000rpm)I'm in a clean, modern, concrete, urban apartment, built to modern regs this century, several floors up. I see maybe a couple of houseflies and perhaps one or two spiders a year - after growing up in a village with a river running through the garden and surrounded by both crop and livestock farms, the lack of critters in my living space is something I will never take for granted.
Yes, even if you run them at quiet rpms, they move a lot more air than a standard 140x25. At full steam they are the most powerful 140mm fans in existence (www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=366&area=en). Just 17eur each on amazon.
Finally changed the stock paste for thermal grizzly and holy shit the difference is like night and day. I can play in 4k/5k without asking permission to lift off. Definetly the cooler in my card is fine enough but god the paste is terrible. Still, I will go to the AIO when it's launched in march/april.
In my case the fan makes noise not to cool the die. It stays cool, below 70C, with peaks at 72C as absolute maximum. The problem is the VRAM. I think I should try and replace the thermal pads.. Any advice about quality pads would be welcome.
Also, can you link me some news about the possible AIOs? I searched and found little or nothing.
Thanks!
As for news for alphacool's AIO, you can look in this forum thread. Don't expect it for 3 months, they still have to announce it.
