Updated my original post to include all changes I made including the new GPU and updated the inside PIC with the 3090 install not that it look much different with the waterblock on. Installing the Waterblock was a pain sooo many thermal pads to measure and cut and it came with 3 difference thickness so had to be careful to use the correct ones on the correct spots.

I tested it on air to make sure it worked and get baseline number before installing waterblock. Made a huge difference max temp (stock power limit) 67C on Air, 39C on Water. To be fair my case airflow design to maximize radiator cooling so not idea for air gpu but still huge drop. If anyone curious here a pic of what the 3090 strix look like with the waterblock removed.

Now back to playing cyberPunk 2077 truly a gorgeous game.
