This was bought for a MSI Vangaurd 5090 and did a good job of keeping the card about 20°C cooler than the stock aircooler. The RGB on the card also did a good job of diffusing the color through the block. The reason that this is being sold is that I no longer have the 5090. So this needs to go, they did not want the waterblock with the card. Overall this is a good waterblock, as can be seen in the pictures the card was vertical. I have left the cut thermal pads with the block. The install was a little tricky as the instructions are online and a little lacking in detail, I have done enough installs that I was able to work it out. It is an easier install than some other blocks. There are no thermal pads for the back plate so it would be worth getting some, was planning to get some but the card was gone before that happened. I tried to make sure that the screws were separated into bags as best possible to make installing easier. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Thank you for looking.
