Maybe consider parting your current system out. Probably make more money, and sell things faster. 4090’s are in high DEMAND! Especially the nicer ones.

Did you grab a 5090? AWESOME! I missed your post before! Great find.

How’s your 4090 laptop undervolting? Mine seems to be about 905mv@2355Mhz, or 0.915mv@2,400Mhz. These 79c GPU temps are impressive out of a laptop though. I think we could do something if we had just a little more power. And if I put Liquid Metal on the GPU as well, since we throttle at 86-87c, maybe can get 2,550Mhz out of one of these. I think Liquid Metal on GPU would net me 70-72c GPU temps. The performance is already really good from a mobile machine.

I signed up for almost all of them honestly, except for Windforce and Venus models! 😂 This was when AIB prices were more reasonable though. $2,549.99 for a Aorus Extreme Waterforce. (AMAZING DEAL I thought) now it’s like $2,899 which is pretty high. I never received anything from BH, they kept sending me alerts saying. “We did not forget about you etc and we’ll let you know when this item is in-stock” but that’s it. Next GPU launch in a few years, I’m going straight for Nvidia VPA again lol. Also, you got the best GPU already price vs performance I think. 5080FE@999. I don’t think it gets much better than that.

Yep BH never sent me a thing either! Some of the notifications that I signed up for even said “You’d be among the first to know” yeah right lol that provided some real false hope. I think these retailers need to offer a virtual line for new products, perform a bot check verification. Hard Limit 1 per person. Maybe hold their spot for 12 hours after notification is sent. This would make it a lot easier. I didn’t know this. But most of the GPU shortage is coming from scalpers who make a business model of this with all new desirable product launches. Would you believe that one person got (12) 5090FE’s on launch day? They made like $36,000 USD in profit by doing this. These people apparently take advantage of all product launches and try to keep it up as long as possible. It’s pretty crazy.

Are you still planning to get a 5090? Did B&H send you notifications to buy a GPU?

800mv will boost 2.5Ghz+. We can essentially use idle voltage on a RTX 5090 FE for 4K gaming and maintain stock performance. It is pretty miraculous. Silicon seems to be very good for all 5090’s. And they don’t need all that much voltage. My current 0.895mv and 2.7Ghz is 5% faster than stock. I have grown to love this GPU the more I own it. Hopefully @Papusan will get that too. I’ll bet he will. Anyways, any good deals on 5090’s lately in your neck of the woods? I wish Nvidia wasn’t so stingy with the FE models. During GTC 2025 Nvidia had a “Nvidia Food Truck” parked outside of the event. And GTC ticket holders could buy from this truck. And this so called “Food Truck” was literally selling 5080/5090FE models for MSRP $999/$1999. Apparently the GTC tickets cost $1,125 USD for just 1 day at the event though lol. (Oh, and they had a limited number of these GPU’s I think #80 total 5090 FE’s, and probably double that in 5080 FE’s)

RTX 5090FE 4K Gaming with an undervolt inside of a closed case. GPU Core= 60-62c Memory Max= 72c “Imagine adding a rear Fujipoly full coverage thermal pad thermal pad” 🤯🤯🤯 I’m going to add one. I have a brand new 3mm Ultra soft Fujipoly thermal pad that I was going to use on my 4090 once water blocked. But I think I’ll install this on my 5090FE now. 😁It already runs very cool though.

RTX 5090’s are under-volting pretty well. Essentially, it’s up to silicon quality. You can’t really crash so easily with this generation. The card will run its max clock speed for that selected voltage and the GPU seems to have an idea of what that clock speed max for that set voltage should be, or at least on the newest drivers it seems like it knows. Definitely can bring power way down for a GPU that’s overkill in practically every game right out of the box (Especially 4K+200% upscaled to 8K. This GPU is a MONSTER for MS Flight Sim 8K, and the RTX4090 could already get it done at 50-60fps) So far, I have set a 2.9Ghz @0.900MV in MSI Afterburner and I shaved off 110 watts of power, and about 10c in temps. These cards use way more voltage stock than they really need. You’ve got to think we idle on the desktop around 0.800mv. So, we can almost apply the full stock boost clock speed of the RTX 5090 FE with nearly the idle voltage. Steel Nomad scored 14,500

I heard that hard tubing stays crystal clear always, if that’s the case I’m just gonna leave it clear. I might get some Koolance 702 clear.

It’s a beast of a GPU you’ve got. I get what you mean. I’ll never achieve the level of excitement I got when I was a teenager getting a new GPU lol. But, it’s a great card. 32GB VRAM, and lots of Cuda cores. Yours being a 360mm AIO, is gonna operate pretty quiet in gaming if that’s its intended purpose. They love to skimp these days, but it’s still a 5090 Astral. “Now you’re supposed to start drooling when you hold it 🤤” Also, I flushed my loop out! Back to clear. I may go to another color. Not that plum purple looking pink, which was supposed to be “RED” 😝 It took me 8+ gallons of distilled to flush it, and it still comes out with a very slight tint of color. I’m going to add (4) more Lian Li P28 fans to the front of the case. And, I’m done. I do want one of those EKWB 5090FE blocks though. That gets me excited!! I will say the Nvidia 5090FE is great so far. Especially for the LOW LOW price of only $2,125 after taxes 🤣 (Okay okay, seriously it’s a good card. It’s quiet, and it’s small, it runs cool. It’s very fast. Seems like they went with no fancy packaging at all. All the packaging is just basic brown/white cardboard board. That’s fine with me. The card feels like a small tank. It feels heavier than a 4090, but it’s actually lighter than one. I think it’s because it is more compressed. But, it’s stable and reliable and overclocks pretty good. So that counts for something! (Also I learned sometimes excitement can be delayed with PC parts)

YUP!!! I’m gonna be more patient next gen. I was getting frustrated during this launch. But MSRP is the only way! I cannot afford AIB cards anymore 🤣 What an insane price!!! Wow. You’re very lucky to snag that beauty! Good find man!

Was it a good deal? MSI 4090 Suprim is literally still top notch performance. You probably won’t have any trouble selling it for more than you paid. Thats some nice wire management on the backside. I really like it. I want to try a 9950X. May get one in the future here soon.

That’s fantastic. Nice graphics cards!!! Since I gave away my sons 3060, we juiced his system up with a RTX 3090 Founders Edition! It blows his hair back now in 1440P now lol. He is 12, and this is his first “Real Man’s” graphic card. 😂 Sons Rig: 12900KS/Z790 LGA1700/ DDR5 6400c32/ RTX 3090 FE/ EVGA 1300P+

Take a look at my RTX5090's memory bandwidth. I bet this thing handles 8K very well! GDDR7 is impressive.
