- A PCGH-X community member cooled the delidded 16-core Ryzen 9 9950X3D with Direct Die alongside a water-cooled Geforce RTX 5090 through a Mo-Ra IV 600 located in another room.
- According to the documented measurements, the Geforce RTX 5090 stayed below 50°C despite drawing nearly 600 watts.
- The processor initially reached about 80°C and later approached 90°C, with protective coating and dry areas in the liquid metal identified as possible mounting issues; temperatures fell substantially after cleaning and reapplying the material.
- Above roughly 155 l/h, the processor showed practically no further cooling benefit, while a comparison test with the Mycro Pro is still announced.
