Heat wave idle temp, 5090 Ventus / Lynk+

Start of the UK heatwave, it’s been around 27c most of today, but started to cool down a little now.

23c temperature and still a 25.5c idle temp!!

2.5c delta is insane 🤯

Looking forward to seeing some more builds in the future, get them posted ladies and gentlemen, Lynk+ is dope AF 😎

Mine still averages 45c 6 months after installation, no changes whatsoever!

LYNK+ ANNOUNCES CPU COOLING, EXPANDED GPU SUPPORT, AND NORTH AMERICA AVAILABILITY 2026 in Q2 “very soon”

CPU Cooler Module: Completing the Modular Ecosystem

The upcoming LYNK+ CPU Cooler Module, compatible with both Intel and AMD platforms, will be available in early Q2 across all active LYNK+ regions. With CPU cooling integrated into the system, users can connect both GPU and CPU cooling into a single loop, fully utilizing the radiator surface area for improved thermal efficiency. Multiple LYNK+ components can be combined within one loop, enabling high-performance, fully liquid-cooled systems with custom-loop–like flexibility, without the complexity traditionally associated with custom water cooling.

Expanded GPU Support: RTX 5080 & RTX 5070 Ti Cooler Modules

Also launching in early Q2 are Cooler Modules for the NVIDIA RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti, bringing LYNK+’s modular cooling architecture to a wider range of GPUs. Designed around the same modular architecture and engineering principles as the LYNK+ RTX 5090 cooling system, the new GPU Cooler Modules deliver comparable thermal performance and acoustic efficiency. This expansion allows LYNK+ to support a broader GPU lineup while maintaining consistent cooling performance, modularity, and ease of use across generations.

North America Availability Starting Early Q2

Alongside the expanded product lineup, LYNK+ plans to begin North America availability in early Q2. The expansion marks an important milestone for the company, extending its modular liquid cooling platform into one of the world’s most influential PC hardware markets and supporting closer collaboration with regional partners, system builders, and enthusiasts.

Wire pro 2 / Ampinel load balancer compatibility with the Lynk+

Many of us have been scratching our heads wondering how we can get wire pro 2 or ampinel load balancer to fit on the Lynk+.

Wire pro 2 is too bulky, but they are due to release a “wired” version soon, but it kinda defeats the object by adding additional cables to the equation.

So we have devised a simple and easy modification we can do to the top plate to allow the ampinel load balancer to fit :)

Stock at watercoolinguk is due to arrive end of this month. So get your orders in, guide to complete the mod will be created shortly after!

So what does everyone think?

Is it still ugly, or does the ventus deserve a new title?

Anyone with a ventus, that has temperature concerns, this build doesn't even reach 45c under 600w load

The mix of stainless steel and strip rgb, makes me believe this motherboard would marry beautifully with the Lynk+ cooler setup.

It would be great to see the aesthetics of the setup!

If anyone is planning a Lynk+ build then I’d highly recommend this motherboard, plus we all wanna see what it looks like 😂

Hi everyone,

Thought it would be really useful for all the Lynk+ users to have a standard temperature test similar to tech power ups review they did last year. Use hwinfo to obtain the data and share with it the rest of the community.

Test rules:-

Wattage 575-600w using any 3d application that uses 100% of your GPU, testing for 20 minutes solid, no interruptions or stopping between.

Screenshot the GPU section like in the example here 🙂 combined with your room temperature at the time of testing. Photo of your build, followed by your LYNK+ specs, single rad, duel rad, triple rad, idle temps etc.

Your “average” wattage needs to be within 575-600W

1- 575w for lower limited cards

2- 595-600W for none power limited cards.

My specs, RTX 5090 with duel rads, idle temperature is 24c and room temperature is at 21c

Core temperature average:- 44.8c

Memory temperature average:- 55.7c

Brands compatible:-

1- Palit

2- Gainward

Brands that are not compatible:-

1- Inno3D,

2- PNY

3- Zotac

4- MSI

Thermal grizzly are due to release a new FE wire pro 2 soon, which will change some of the above compatibility, but as of today, this is the current list.

I would have wanted to build myself a new PC, but the reality is that most of my time is taken nowadays by other things, particularly work. Long story short: I ended up buying a build-to-order desktop from a local (japanese) system integrator. What was unique about this was their offering of a 5090 (I think this one's basically an Inno3d 5090 X3 OC) along with a Lynk+ water cooling block and 360mm radiator with noctua a12 g2 fans. So far it seems to perform pretty good, with most games I play keeping GPU temps at around 55C.

Other specs:

CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D

Cooler: 360mm asetek aio + noctua f12 fans

MB: Asrock Taichi Creator x870

RAM: 96GB DDR5 5600 (Crucial)

SSD: 4TB Sandisk 8100 + 8TB Sandisk SN850X

Case: Fractal Define 7

PSU: FSP Hydro X 1200W
