yes correct. with 520w bios
otherwise the bios wouldnt work properly on this card
thats also a testament to the quality of this block to easily handle this heat load
not sure exactly how much of a difference the LM is making but my core temps are phenomenal. although, ppl say they usually only see about 2C better with the LM.
I need more testing but i just got the block last night
I would rather shunt than use a 1000w bios that disables internal temp monitoring which is dangerous. I've read of some ppl who already fried their 3090 cards using such a bios
