Review on 🌊 Corsair Hydro X Series XG7 RGB Water Block for 30-Series Strix GPUs (3090, 3080 Ti, 3080, 3070 Ti, 3070): Enhanced Cooling and Stunning RGB Lighting by Danny Poulin

Easy installation. Discreet back panel. No thermal pads were included for the back panel. My MSI 2080ti Ventus had such a loud coil noise that people could hear it through my mic. Crazy, it sounded like it was about to explode. I tried reusing MSI's thick thermal pads, but then my temperatures skyrocketed because the water block wasn't fully compressed. Tried and failed with 1.5mm, 1mm and 0.5mm thermal pads. .5 is the best spot with no coil noise, water block seats and good temps. I now rarely have more than 40C. The Spinny Wheel works occasionally, but I have a huge cable with a splitter kit and 2 heatsinks. Only spins occasionally when my d5 pump is in position 5, but I don't like leaving it that high. All in all a great water block, except Corsair should have thermal pads with them!
