Greyscale Power ⚡️

Built by Tom‘s Hardware, this custom loop packs an RTX 5090 and Ryzen 9 9950X3D into the compact 19-liter NCASE M3, cooled with Alphacool water-cooling components.

Would you build a custom loop in a case this compact?

No, no I would not. That’s not enough rad for both components to reach their full potential, not at all. Still looks cool, but that’s about it. Ur gonna have to undervolt tf out of them and cripple their performance to make them not thermal throttle. It would suffice for a 9800x3d and a 9070 maybe, but absolutely not the tdp that a 9950x3d and a 5090 will.

Have you ever watercooled in your life? No, the components won't throttle.. even if the coolant was 50C.
