They are truly amazing GPU’s. I am curious how the PCB looks. It would be nice to get a look at one of these or see a review, the price is crazy, but for a 96GB 5090FE it’s not that outrageous. They have dual rank memory which also performs slightly better than single rank. I’m wondering how double sided 96GB GDDR7 would run on a 5090FE cooler. I’m just extremely curious about these. If it has same design as 5090 FE, how the heck did they fit 96GB on the backside? 😃

That RTX 6000 Pro (96GB) looks very nice right? My goodness, apparently they are like $7,700 at the cheapest. But what an awesome GPU.

The factory 5090FE cooler is amazing. What’s crazy is that we could actually fit a 5090 FE inside of a laptop. Since the I/O is hooked up via ribbon cable, and same for PCIe X16 connection. And since the main PCB is its own small piece. These connections could be hooked up anywhere. I don’t understand why laptop manufacturers haven’t done this years ago. We can easily put desktop power in a laptop. With no massive motherboard with big BGA chips soldered on. Full on 9800X3D desktop chip inside a laptop. I cannot imagine what Nvidia 6090 will look like.

YUK! That poor card! My goodness. His build was really clean looking too! I’m surprised he’d chop an FE up this way. I’m kinda OCD and I like things looking clean. Based on the rest of his build, I really don’t think he’s gonna be happy with it in a day/week. I would not modify stock cooler, just apply the shunt to give us 1,050-1,200 watts. Revert back to stock, or wait for EKWB block. He got it working though. And I think the FE really needs better cooler for full potential.

I love my PC case. 😛

I cannot believe the power of (2) HWLab GTX 480's with P28 Fans. And this setup is only using fans on one side! All in a closed case. My case temp idle is 25c, and my idle water temp is also 25c. But under a CPU load for 10 minutes my case temp increases to 28c and the top rad water is 29c and basement rad water is 29.7c. This is with a 3175X at 700-800 watt CPU load dumping that heat into my water. Honestly, it may even be more power than that. Its power reporting maxes out at 540 watts on the 3175x. It has enough juice to pull my 12v below 12v and my 5090 can never dream of even doing this. (Maybe when its shunt modded) But this loop without push/pull is ridiculously good. The water temp is reaching 1.0c or 1.7c over internal case temperature, I am running (4) D5 pumps with about 50% speed on them all. 😃 The power of BIG quality rads is amazing, and so is the power of a big case with good fans! This loop will easily handle the RTX5090 and this CPU combined. Of course, the CPU is never cranking 700+ watts sustained unless you YEET all cores lol. Typically, 120-250 in games.

Yeah, I’ve made an offer on a few things on eBay on a whim. And it always makes you attach payment method first. Wake up next day and the money is gone lol. Anyways, you keeping the Astral? I’d be tempted to keep both 5080FE and Astral if it were me. The 5080FE is amazing for the price.

Go check overclock.net FS thread of 3090KP by Jor3b. He’s legit, texted me and even made a video, and I don’t think anyone believes him. Heck they may even think my account is compromised at this point 🥴

Overclock.net don’t trust nobody selling anymore 🤣 I can’t blame them though,

I let me son use my OEM 5090FE dongle with his 3090FE. He’s got a new 2x6 plugged in to 4x8 individual 8 pins lol. (No issues for him of course it’s a 3090FE) Me, I’m running a single Gen 5.1 cable Lian Li cable with the blue safety color, it’s a replica to the Seasonic OEM stuff. This thing doesn’t even get warm. I’ve bought an amp clamp and checked my per wire amperage and they were all really good idle or load. I want to make a video of this process. It’s very cool, but before the amp clamp I a little worried about individual wire amperage spiking way up maybe, I was running blind, don’t have any monitoring like your Astral. So I feel better after checking at least. But a quality DC amp clamp is like $140 dollars man. It’s crazy we gotta do this. I might return it now actually. 🤣

Flagship is getting fast though, I think Nvidia started opening up the gap with the 4090. I remember the GTX 1080Ti being about 50% faster than a 1070. But here we are with a 5090 that’s three times than a 5070. That is nuts! 🙂

For years high end PC hardware, in the old days had dimensioning returns. A lot more expensive, for very little gain. I mean, look at the RTX 3080 for $699.99 compared to the RTX 3090 $1,499. Everyone bought a 3090 and it was barely faster stock. The 3080 for less than half the cost was churning out 80-85% the performance. But lately, the performance gap between 5080 and 5090 is absolutely MASSIVE. It’s like 85% faster sometimes. So on paper the RTX 5090 is double the specs for double the price. If only the 5090 had double the power limit it probably would be double the performance almost all the time. So with the 5080 costing $999, and 5090 costing $1,999, we are getting more value than ever before. Double VRAM, double cuda cores, and nearly double performance in the super heavy loads. I just think the main problem is AIB greed. We can only compare the 5090 Astral MSRP to the 5080 Astral MSRP. So it’s still a similar story there. For double the price of a 5080 Astral, you get double the specs with a 5090 Astral lol.

Wow! I’m surprised to hear that. I figured you’d be keeping the Astral for the long haul.

New Game ready Nvidia driver is out. Who’s trying it?

Imagine giving all 5090 owners a 1,200 watt XOC bios. 🤣 My goodness.
