This is what happens when you modify the RTX 3090 Bios... 

Jay: Make sure if you are running SLI to have 2 of the exact same card. Steve: No you don't need to do that. You can just jerry rig an SLI setup using 2 different 3090s using PCI_E Riser cards and a Jerry rigged cooling solution for the FE card.

"Fifteen Thousand and *nice* " Also Jay: "mmm these crayons taste extra good today"

Who needs SLI nowadays?? SLI bridge sold out in 3 minutes ) 😒

Thank you for Celsius. Not everybody can understand donuts per eagle :)

"55 degrees is just too high" Me: laughs in 50 degrees idle

"Lord Stupid" That's got to be the worst pirate I've ever heard of, but I have heard of him...

"This is really bugging Phil, he wants the fans to be in a straight line." *Phil dies inside in the background*

Jay: I cant just *snap* and make a bracket appear Linus: *goes to machine shop room and makes a bracket*

JayzTwoCents: 55°c is too warm for stability. *Me at steady 86°c on youtube

Jay: 55°C is too warm for stability Me: Peaks at 90°C on casual 1080p gaming...

Jay: " Nvidia slowing things down, HEY a support bracket..."

Pronounced "Gur Chew Low" :). Glad we could have that friendly competition! Perhaps one day we will meet again on the 3dmark battlefield, but I'll need a better air conditioner, but I digress - Thanks for all your content and teaching/entertaining me for years, I'm a big fan.

That peel was the most painful thing I've ever experienced

Steve: this will give Jay something to do. Jay: *does it*

Other unboxings - "Wait guys, the peel is the best part" Jay - "Ain't nobody got time for that S**t"

Jay: "A/C Periscope" My Brain: Haha AeroScope

I'm honestly more impressed with escapee, he's using a i7 4790k and getting close to jays top score.

Jay have you ever thought about doing GPU "bracket racing"? I was thinking about doing it on my channel. Think of it as XOC on a budget. You could XOC lower tier GPUs like doing RTX 2060 bracket or a 1050ti bracket. Highest score with specified gpu. Thoughts?

10:21 gonna need one of these types of montages for all future builds

I really like how you keep your bloopers in and even try to caption them. Also funny to hear Phil dying in the background. Nice work guys!

16:46 Steve says just drill away, it'll be fine. lol

Love how all the people making videos have numerous cards while 99% of us cant get one.

I would love to see Phil do some videos on how he does his editing, i have great appreciation for the quality of your videos and his editing im sure is a huge part of that.

Love the mad scientist ambience of this episode. Adding a smoke machine everytime you hook the AC to the test bench would greatly raise the quality.

I thought the title said “bois” like he was referring to us as the bois and he just modified his rtx 3090

If you want to prevent condensation with a full body water block, run the AC on the back of the card to lower total temperature deltas across the card. Also, invest in a dehumidifier. Condensation is based off two things: ambient temperature and humidity. You can greatly reduce condensation on the system if you run a dehumidifier close to it. I do this for my sub-ambient server, and it is 100% safe and stable.

That fan shroud is the most sophisticated piece of tech in the studio.

what Jay really meant was: "if you're an early adopter, suck it up, buttercup"

Escapee is coming for you Jay..... Watch your back, 4790k is breathing down your neck.

Just mount the block with 2 screws, tape and z̶i̶p̶t̶i̶e̶s̶ tweezers

Man I love these!! Can't wait to see more!!

That transition when building the shroud was funny as hell Phil!!!!

Did you beat Paul, or was this filmed before Paul beat you and GN.

Jay: "That's thick tape guys" *cutting with back of knife*

Love how Jayz literally grunted like he was weightlifting when he picked up the 3080 FE

Jay. Use the 20 series pcb and make the bracket from that. Looks as though the smaller inner holes line up with the 30 series holes leaving the larger outer holes on the 20 series to mount the block to.

"CAD" Cardboard Aided Design. Never go wrong using it 😂

Best be asking Linus for a favor for the block

I am building a PC for a friend out of parts I have lying around. I wound up running Zip-Ties through the back of the motherboard, through the cpu H/S and just put another Zip-Tie on the other side. Worked GREAT! And cheap BTW.

I finally got my G29 racing wheel to work again. Thanks Jay

I was expecting him to load in a custom bios and that causing it to get bricked.

Some people report their cards OC-ing higher after the driver fix. Mine stays the same🤷.

I think a wild Escapee took you outta 4th place bro... rip mate.

16:50 Der8auer has already mounted a waterblock on a card, using 2 screws and two screw clamps.

Precision have been like this since the 2080TI came out

I really want to see the Strix go head to head with the FTW3 card, not that it's going to be that big a difference I guess, silicon lottery and power limit are the major factors

pbfffffiiip! hahahah Jay, your coverage of the 3000 series has been hilarious. Keep up the great work!

if you want a ghetto way to get temps down which actually works. you could try taking the shroud off and the fans then get some 120-140mm case fans and mount them to the heat sync. its kind of like an alternative to water cooling and is rather effective.

"Jay" and "Engineering" should never be used in the same sentence.

Jay: I've had this card since before it launched and I haven't even opened it up yet Me still sitting here with a RX 5700 2 weeks after launch: Oh just FU Jay ..... Just FU .....

For the MSI Afterburner/Evga Precision X differences. I ran 5 runs each of Time Spy Extreme and Firestrike Extreme with the exact same overclocks on Afterburner and both the Steam and standalone versions of PX. The Steam version of PX was 200-300 points behind on average

Jay, you could probably use rubber bands or small soft footed C clamps to temporarily attach the blocks, you only need it attached for a short while anyway.

Your over there ripping apart a 3090 and I’m over watching with my 2014 MacBook air

My fiancee and I were watching this video, hoping for the iconic "I like boats". But was disappointed to never hear it. Of all the tech RU-vidrs I force her to listen to you are her favorite and I just want to make a quick and easy video suggestion for your upcoming content... Just say it please.

I WAS EAGERLY WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO. Now I am eagerly waiting for the next one

That guy really thought he could take you on cmon 😂

Zip ties. The answer is always zip ties.

Honestly, can't wait till this actually get's either in stock, or Big navi becomes good.

I feel like jay had recently seen the “well would ya look at that” and look at this look at that. Just look at it

1:16 Yay the P1 takes the track for a hotlap!

Sounds like Jay needs to call Linus to get some waterblocks/brackets made...

Jay I have a milling machine in my garage, Send me a drawing with dimensions and I can make a bracket for you, I have plenty of material.

Idea for a temp solution as far as the holes just not lining up and attaching water block to the rectangular holes: mayhaps rubber fan screws? the tension would possibly keep it centered and thermal past should keep it from lifting.

You will get slightly performance increase with EVGA Precision X1 if: 1. you minimize or close Precision X1. 2. you enable "Boost lock" on Precision X1 (you also avoid some crashes).

Before: "Nvidia is slowing the previous cards to fell obsolete to sell new cards." After: "Download the new driver to slow your new card to avoid crashes."

You know, you wouldn't get that condensation in Colorado. Too dry here. :)

I love your videos man, never fail to make me chuckle. Appreciate you!

if its possible you can have cold dry air from an AC based on the mode. That should solve your condensation issue and should give you more temp control. Though im not sure how much difference that would make to the temp youre trying to reduce. But it will fix condensation.

2:00 I'm confused, didn't Jay test the new drivers 2 days ago and found basically no difference?

I wonder if changing a resolution of the monitor would increase your score

Jay little truck for task manager! Control, shift, escape will bring it up for you!!

I’ve only recently found your channel and I’m not sure if this question has been asked yet in previous videos or not, but would it be possible to build a small faraday cage around your setup to help eliminate unwanted electrical noise? I like the vids and friendly competition, keep them coming!

The "slowdown" from the new driver has been tested, and the difference is actually extremely minuscule. Either there's no difference or it's within testing error. Don't return your cards just because of the driver update...

What goes through your head to be a fan watching ripjay/gn and think “I wanna get in the middle of that”

3:37 Thor has Noobmaster69, Jay has LordGurciullo.

Jay as someone who has worked on the A-10, I’m loving the background picture of it!

Try feeding on AC with another AC that then cools the air to the GPU

I want that 700W+ BIOS... The Asus Strix with its 480W should be enough. If I ever manage to get one. :{

9:35 there's like 20% less humidity when the air run through the a/c fins. or even more when its constantly running

I love watching RIP GN series!

"below sub ambient" 10:00 "Sub" already means "below" so it's either "sub ambient" or "below ambient", not both at the same time

Umm I game, 10%-20% on 3440x1440 is a *huge difference!* I'm either buying an RTX 3090 or an 20 GB RTX 3080 TI (or Super).

General Question: Can you encase the test bench with a Farady Cage to help with external EMI Concerns? Pretty sure it would just take an outer box and some aluminum foil.

Use "grip clamps" not screws to mount the water block. No bracket required, "Snap". Home depot has the rubber grips on the clamps that just ratchet tight. It won't move and you get max down pressure that ensures contact and it won't move

"The 3090 is a useless card to gamers." But Jay, what if I want to take 3 x 4k monitors in portrait and side-by side them in a wrap around config and play MSFS 2020?

10:22 looks like an among us character

Jay, if you want the ultimate overcooling solution, you should come to Regina Saskatchewan and rig something up in the middle of January when its like -40 to -60 with the wind. Just put your PC in front of the window and let the front fans suck in that cool regina air...lol

I'd chill the entire room, drop the ambient air as cool as it can go.

RIPGN is soooo funny, i love it. THICC TAPE (TT)

RELEASE THE BIOS ALREADY EVGA!!! YOU CAN'T COCKTEASE US LIKE THIS!

Prefect video to watch whilst I put together a IKEA PC desk for my son, as we’ve built him his first gaming small factor PC.

So if condensation is a problem with going below ambient temperature, what would happen if you put the whole set up inside a big walk-in freezer? Like the kind you'd find at a butcher or something.

I don't know why, but when I read the title I remembered what BIOS stands for incorrectly... ^^; BIOS Built-in OS, incorrect basic input-output system, actual

I saw my name in 8th place right under Jay with my FTW3 Ps please give me that bios

Jay is about to invent a thermal paste/glue combo.

Jo Jay. The air coming out of the AC is already "dried" because the water "drops out" in the AC cooler heat exchanger as the coldest spot. Thats why there is a plug somewhere on the lower part and/or it gets used on the "hot" part of the ac to help cooling by evaporating. So when the air gets out of the AC, everything afterwards means the air is already getting warmer and so "even more dry". Only point would be if you cool down the card with the ac way below room temp, then switch off gpu and remove the ac. Perhaps the backside of the card, but it should still be surrounded by a indirect "cloud" of warmed up ultradry air from the AC. Did you try spraywax (car shop) or conformal coating on your subroomtemperature-oc-gpus if you fear condensation ? Spraywax is great because you can easily reflow it again everywhere with a heatgun. if you need a plate, try aluminium, a hand drill and manual saw, we know you can do it.. or even wood (only the finest aged swamp oak, because of better sound) works just fine. I would really like to see a tool which includes the memory error correction rate happening. So people dont get all high on super oc-memory numbers and in reality lose speed.

God i wish there was stock in Australia... :(

now hes out of the top 100.. craziness how fast!

the logo on the newer xbox one controllers are like that and I also think its really cool... where it looks like solid metal but then turns into a light

I have a 2070s in a evga ftw3. With the first few voltage and temp alterations that you did that boosted your score, would this work for myself? Boosting voltage temp limit and so forth? Would I see better ingame performance?
