Watercooled RTX 4090 - MSI Suprim Liquid X 

Watching this like I'm ever gonna afford it

Realistically, this card is one of the few 4090s that fits an ITX format. This generation of cards are just too big

They definitely should have been put 90 degrees adapters on tubes exiting from the card

MSI used to have AIO cooled GPU, called SeaHawk series

Nice review. That's the model I like the most. It's worth noting that having two bios's isn't just about having one be "better" in some way or even just different from the other one. It's nice to have two bios's because if something goes wrong with one of them, your card isn't bricked, and you can use the other one to fix/flash the other one.

i feel like we are going back to the era of liquid cooled gpu solutions for power hungry cards

bro if i spend 1700$ on gpu I ain't saving money on custom water cooling

The performance potential on this must be INSANE Price tag too.

Excited to see the build with the new ITX case 👀

An in-case thermal comparison would be nice

the prices i'm seeing for the 4090's are fricken insane. i used to love building pc's, but greed has killed all my passion for it.

Good to keep you warm in the winter.

This card is just gorgeous. I really don't like the design of the majority of the partner cards for the 4090 and even Nvidia's isn't that good. This one stands out to me though and I think it looks sick.

the first reviewer to look at OC performance of the MSI Suprim Liquid X. Thank you for doing that.

Typically with the last couple generation MSI cards that have the BIOS switch, the only difference between the game/OC profile and the silent profile is the fan speeds, not the power limits or GPU clocks.

This would work well in the 011 case GPU side mounted exhaust. CPU top exhaust. Intakes bottom and front. No hot air in case then.

We love your videos, Optimum

I am used 1080 Sea Hawk X pretty some time and I think MSI's hybrid cards like this pretty nice!

you put so much effort in your videos love your work you deserve more

Can’t wait until the 5090s come out so the 4090s will be in stock.

I have this card with the rad mounted as top exhaust on my 011 and one thing I have noticed it just how fast idle temps are achieved after use, it's within seconds. Looks pretty nice vertically mounted as well.

Scammers on Amazon are mass buying 4090 cards and selling them anywhere from $2,300 to $3,500. Which sucks but you can find some people on eBay selling them for cheaper.

I would love to see the review of the Gigabyte 4090 360 AIO version and see how it compares to this MSI 4090 AIO GPU. Please.

So all the 600W bioses got cancelled last second lol

I have it and let me say it is absolutely worth it. I can max out any game and easily run it at 120 plus fps. If you overclocked it you can max out anything at 240 fps and stay under 42 degrees celsius

Hey Ali, thanks for mentioning the real world width of this card. This is literally the only 4090 that will fit in the Phanteks Shift XT that I intend to build in (> 3 slot, 240mm rad). Seeing as you are the only person I know of that has both the mentioned card and case, do you happen to have tried fitting the card in the Shift XT and does the width clear the top or do the tubes actually make it incompatible? Thank you.

one small gripe, I may have misunderstood you, but this was NOT the first aio gpu to come from MSI. They did a very similar looking variant for the gtx 1080 and If wrong on that then it was definately one of the 10 series gpu's at any rate. True it was a partnership with corsair, but I feel it should count. edit: Just looked it up and the name was the GeForce GTX 1080 SEA HAWK X. It has both the corsair and MSI logo on it.

Been waiting for 4090 LC reviews. Can't wait to compare this to Asus & Gigabyte LC

Looks like MSI watched your video, and took notes on the "good value for what you get" part. They bumped up the sale price on their own website by 185$. God forbid gamers have access to good value on GPUs these days. Edit: looks like they "unlaunched" their price hike after backlash...

Ali talking about $1600 4090s like he doesn’t live in Australia like us where they’re $3,000 lmao. Love ya work, mate. Been enjoying your videos the last couple years

This is the only one that I'm currently interested in. I've seen it going for 2,400 USD on ebay as of October 2022, but for sure this is the way I wanna do it.

Nvidia made FE so good, there is barely any reason left to choose an AIB card over FE! I can see more AIBs following what EVGA decided.

Hola, es muy importante tener en cuenta el calor extra de la Foundation que genera estando dentro de una caja, por muy refrigerada que este la caja, siempre sera mejor la que expulsa directamente el aire caliente hacia afuera

Just one of these days, we'll be hanging up our PC on the outside of the house, just to keep the patio from icing over... Thanks for the review, much appreciated.

Waterforce is a total crap-fest. Quality is horrible, people have reported scratches and such on new products, as well as very poor leak detection rendering the card unable to do anything. Anyhow, the cooling performance for the gpu on the MSI card is probably better because the aio is dedicated just to the gpu, whilst other components are air cooled. Also the SUPRIM series is the highest quality PCB and best looking (imo) on the market. Great review!

You beat Gamers' Nexus, Paul's Hardware, and Hardware Unboxed to the punch. Good job. We all must understand our usefulness.

was looking for something on this card thanks!

Hate how AIBs have "normal" cards for MSRP, then (in 4090 pricing) +$200-500AUD for the "OC" version, which adds SFA performance. And of course, local retailers were out of stock of the normal cheap versions, some still have stock of the OC versions of course for higher money. Atlest the "gaming" versions provide better cooling so can run quieter (usually)

I've seen these for around 1200 usd surprisingly. All other 4090s are around 2k.

My two main concerns with this are pretty high memory temps compared to other models and pump failure/other potential AIO issues

The price is not bad compared to founders edition card.

Longer power adapter would be interesting, so you could hide the connectors in the cable chamber and sleeve the four cables as one thicker.

After MSIs Fiasco with the CPU AIOs I would never ever buy one without being absolutely sure it is good.

Can i remove the pumps and add my corsair one pumps and use my radiator?

that +480w power draw really hits you the feels. every minute gaming i would be thinking about that. and my pc is on for more than 8 hours some days. wish there was a way to turn the GPU off completely and automatically switch to cpu graphics.

With evga dropping out, someone had to fill the hybrid card void.

Water cooled GPUs make much more sense than CPUs nowadays really

Always great to watch you review stuff. no bs, straight to the point.

There is the other aio available, the aorus one, i've never seen it in the US though, it's a completely paper launch, it's impossible to get anything online

I find it hilarious that the PCB hasn't physically gotten any bigger - it's actually SMALLER than most 20-series cards used to be. It's just the cooling requirements are ridiculous nowadays. I'm actually kind of impressed that AIB manufacturers haven't melted the PCBs with all that heat and current going through them.

Nice review for suprim x lc.. please do consider also reviewing gigabyte with 360mm aio.. thanks!

Getting it as soon as they restock

I would buy this just so it doesn’t take up 3 slots 😂😂😂

ASUS need to some out with an AIO if the rest of the competition does it. 360mm fine by me.

MSI have done AIO GPUs before. SeaHawk series.

Very clean looks love the functional design

Been trying to snag this model. $150 for an AIO cooling solution 100% worth IMO

the built that you promise it's gone case.

What's your thoughts on something like the Alphacool Eiswolf 2 AIO????

8:30 I top mounted mine and flipped the fans around to the other side of the rad as well - I found that pushing through the rad wasn't effectively evacuating the heat from the case, but that the fans pulling the heat through and up/away from the top was very successful. I'm using a Corsair 5000D with 7 fans drawing fresh air front and side. 13900k with Corsair 150 AIO, running temps are usually well within the 40-50 degree range on both CPU and GPU spiking around 60ish. (idle is 20-30)

No wonder evga bailed.

Can you build an ITX System with 4090, like ichill frostbite, and show how the temps are with the different setups of radiators?

Nice video! Can’t wait for your list of cases for the 4090. Also any idea what’s a good case for the evga 3090ti with an aio? Lastly, what resolution are you recording the videos? When I watch it on my 65” OLED, it seems stretched vertically making you look skinny.

If I had that card, I’d set the radiator sideways on top of my case so it gets its own airflow and doesn’t dump any hot air in the case. Wouldn’t look nice but would do the job.

Previous generation also had this model. It went by seahawk

I bought this card today based on this video! I liked that it was only 280mm which is only 23mm more than my current card. I have a NZXT 510 Flow case so I don't have any room to spare, lol. Thank you for much a thorough review!!

Is it possible to swap the radiator fans out to noctuas?

erm msi have been doing AIO cooling on cards for years, they partnered with Corsair, the msi cards were called seahawk. and you could actually buy the cards direct from corsair

Bro thanks for even testing fps and db sound - you’re the best reviewer!!

Brilliant video and great to see one in the wild. How much shorter is the card in this cooling design setup? Was thinking if shorter it might go into my case and mount the rad block outside (as go no space in my case for that :-( )

Does it fit into nr200p?

5:00 WTF thats the same power draw in CB2077 as my 3080 TUF which has just two 8pins LOL

This is the best looking RTX 4090.

that power increase is from the pump on that card to run the AIO!

10 months after this video gets posted and im nowca proud owner of this exacr card!

Great pun with the “unreleased” Video coming at the end of this month :D

any review on the suprim x triple fans version?

What's going on with the memory temps of this particular model? All the reviews I've seen have the VRAM running hotter than all air cooled cards! Great video and analysis, as always, thanks for the high quality content you provide!

Video up just as MSI jacked up the prices of this card.

Someone in the factory may have put those stickers on purposely to drive your adhd up the roof 🤣

500W space heater but in 240mm lmao

Can it fit into the Louqe Ghost S1 with L-tophat ?

Got one of these running right now, quiet and crushing games.

if it wasent SSSoooo expensive i would upgrade my 1080ti seahawk

Also exhausting it saves the VRMS Temps cause that’s air cooled

6:30 are we gonna talk about higher memory temps on the liquid cooled one?

i mounted the rad to the front of my case blowing out and then keep my side panel off

Me, an Aussie watching an Aussie youtuber: "Its over the 2k mark already" Oh thats not too bad Me, realising he means USD: oh

This is probably the only 4090 that would temp me, the others are just too huge and wont fit even in my fairly large case.

Hmm is it possible to swap out the radiator fans on this?

Can you still mount this if you're already using an AIO for your CPU? I'm running my setup in a Corsair Vengeance 780T case and may upgrade next year

If 4090s weren't so expensive, this would be the one I'd buy.

Nvidia just killed any other AIB in the market, EVGA definitely made the right call

You said this was the first AIO from MSI you've seen? Lmbo. The seahawk wasn't an AIO card 😭🤣🤣

This is not the only Liquid 4090 "Hybrid", there is also the iGame Neptune

Pls compare this vs Gigabyte 4090 AIO

Guys help, I watched this video and now women won't stop swarming me

Pump failure has entered the chat....

I have this in a Corsair 5000D and it's SOOOOO nice

Any idea on their future repairability? For example, early AIO GPUs, like the R9 Fury X, are mostly useless now because of coolant evaporation, pump issues, etc., and there's no way to actually repair them.
