Yes, I will be careful. I am usually more careful that necessary and I have always been super-paranoid about these defective new connections. Since my first GPU with the chintzy 12VHPWR connectors I am constantly feeling of the cable and WireView or using my IR thermometer and so far none have ever melted or gotten overly hot.

 

My 4090 Suprim has a 1kW vBIOS and when pushed hard on the chiller it will chug 1000W easily. If I see any evidence that the cable is getting hot/hotter with the WireView than without it I will return it for a refund to Amazon. Even if I end up returning it, I will at least be able to see how much power is getting pulled through the 12VHPWR socket with the shunt mod.

 

I still think damage to the GPU itsself is reduced with it because the WireView itself is a heatsink and all of the power pins that connect to the GPU come from a common bar. I think it provides a level of load balancing among the pins that NVIDIA so "thoughfully" (negligently) omitted. But, while I think the socket on the GPU is safer, that is not going to do anything whatsoever to help the cable connecting to the WireView not melt. It may be that the cable gets hotter because the WireView acts as a heatsink.

 

It will be interesting to see how it shakes out.

The person who used that wireview pro, and the wire view pro actually caused the cable imbalance with amperage and a single wire of his 12vhpwr cables was running like 90c+ if he would have left it, it would have melted that single wire. He stopped using it and everything was good after that apparently. It is essentially adding in extra connections that are completely unnecessary though, and it reduces the connection quality. I know that the 12vhpwr is picky and sensitive I think. Me personally I run a straight cable. I can cook my card with all the power I want. Cable runs like 35-43c range. It is completely reliable. Unfortunately I cannot use a wire view pro anyways due to how my 5090 FE plug is angled. But I don’t need one. After 6 months daily abuse, heck I trust the thing now lol.

I've have two of them already and the first one was the initially released product from a long time ago and I haven't had any problems with them on both 4090s. The only reason why I had to buy a new one is because my connector is reversed on the Zotac. I think the possibility of the connector melting in the GPU if it is plugged in all the way could be less than a cable melting because all of the current is passing through a large piece of metal instead of individual wires. I think the possibility of the cable melting where it plugs into the WireView is exactly the same as it would be with the cable connected to the video card.

 

The biggest issue with them is not fitting everything that uses this power socket. There are too many design variances from one GPU to the next. I had to use a Dremel tool to carve away part of the acrylic on both of my 4090 Bykski waterbocks. And neither one of them would fit with the stock air cooler installed.

 

From any angle that I look at it there's nothing good or satisfying about this new power connector and it amazes me that they continue using it and spite of its horrible design and glaring issues. That is a reflection of what a sad, sad, sad situation we have in the PC tech space. We have been overrun by retarded baboons that have been given free reign to make stupid decisions that screw things up for everyone and no accountability for their stupidity..

Yeah the 4090’s just don’t pull power like that though. They are 450w stock, and rarely pull 600w. I know Motivman and Yzonker and another person used wire view pro with shunted 5090 and their cables would burn them if they touched it. They stopped using wire view because of this. I would be extremely careful.

So, as best I can tell just playing a game like DOOM: The Dark Ages with no overclock the GPU is pulling around 700W now and between 950 and 1000W from the wall now. Boost clock is a little over 3000 MHz and no fluctuation.... just a flat line. Speedway the same. Stock boost is a flat-line 3000 MHz and about 1100W from the wall. runing Speedway. The power cable is not even getting a little bit warm to the touch.

 

I ordered a new Cyberpower 1500W UPS because both of the 800W untis that I have power off under 100% 3D load. They used to beep once in a while using the 4090 but never powered off. They clearly cannot handle what this shunted 5090 is requiring of them.

 

I also ordered a new WireView Pro with the down-facing connector so I can actually see how many watts are getting pulled through the 12VHPWR cable. GPU-Z is showing like 480W paying DOOM, so it may be more than 700W just stock. Both of those will be here tomorrow.

 

Here's the stock clock flat-line graph from Speedway. Before the shunt mod a stock run was something like 2850-2870 boost clock and constantly fluctuating. So, without touching anything is running much more aggressively now.While I am waiting for those items to arrive I am going to switch to the stock vBIOS and see if the behavior is the same, better or worse compared to the GigaChad vBIOS after the shunt mod.

I’m glad it’s working well! Also I wanted to tell you I would not use a wire view pro. I know they are nice and very useful. But that’s primarily for a stock 5090 pulling no more than a sustained 600 watts. I’ve seen some issues of cables so hot using the wire view pro on shunted 5090’s, that melting is imminent. I would run just a straight cable to your 5090. Return the wire view pro. I’m totally blind on my cable. I had a sensor on it, but I trust it now. It’s been great and that’s inside a closed case, so I let the sensor monitor my case temp instead.

I am probably not going to shunt and block in the same operation. I am not sure what dimension of resistor is needed on this GPU and I have not had time to research it between being crazy busy with projects at work, too many doctor appointments and exhausting myself getting UPS to correct their incompetence. I know I need 1 or 2 mOhm but there are different sizes and I need to confirm which resistors on the PCB need to be shunted.

 

My 4090 Core block is also super nice. Out of the EK, Bykski and Alphacool blocks this one, the 4090 Core and the Aurora block on my 3080 Turbo are my favorites. The Bykski blocks are good but have kind of a dated look to them. Bykski's new aesthetic for 50-series looks really nice but I have seen some issues with fit being reported.

 

All of my EK blocks have ended up having cracks around the screw holes and I won't buy the EK blocks anymore. I am sorry to see that has happened to yours. Those cracks on yours are much larger than mine have had. Mine were always small and not obvious at first glance. I do not know if it is something with their acrylic or if they are overtightening the screws.

This is my first EKWB plexi block. I’ve used had acetal ek blocks before. Unless ek made the 3090kp block. That thing was a tank! 
 

Anyways, you need some 2512 sized resistors they are 0.25x0.12 dimensions and make sure it’s miliohm /or mohm and not just ohm. 
 

You probably want 2mohm if you are after 1200 watts, if you go 1Mohm it’ll be 1800watts. You’ll need two of them.

 Hahaha,  the   PRO 7995wx is good even Overkill for what is needed it but it was an offer i cannot refuse😆😆.

 

Was in holiday and didnt have time for it. 

 

Still need to optimize and rearange Cables inside, got a 9100 Pro2 TB for that Pcie gen 5. Need more ram and also gpus. Ignore the gtx1050 , it's only for tests. I will need to get an riser 90 degree to fit the gpu inside. 

 

But I love the mainboard,  Asrock wrx90 ws evo,  went with it because the other wrx90 is from Asus and I despise them. More expensive as the asrock and full of problems .Reddit and forums are full of them. STUPID Asus wants over 1k euro for that mainboard and still cannot make it work. 

 

The Asrock is incredible, so many options, bulid like a tank, a lot of connectivity,  bmc remote management is superb. And it booted and did the whole diagnostic and memory training in under 3 minutes. That's good for a complicated platform like the threadripper.I love it. 

 

Use case it will be my homelab brain. Will run a gazillion VMs because Cores are plenty and  I will also start Local AI training. Still need to decide on gpus..maybe I will get some Rtx A series ore Rtx Ada for it. 

Man! You have a 7995wx? That is insane! Knowing me, if I had this CPU I’d use it for

gaming lol. 😂 Well, work and gaming. That thing is a MONSTER! I wouldn’t mind having a 7980x my self. They are so strong! Or maybe even just the 9960x threadripper would be good as well. Funny how new AMD chips sound like old Intel chip model names lol. Anyways I saw your 118K R23 score, that’s really impressive.

Nice waterblock! Their new core series really are the best looking. Their previous models looked kinda budget oriented. My EKWB 5090 FE block has cracked to pieces in me lol. 😂 it’s not leaking so that’s good. But I’m not happy about it. I’m waiting on EK to send me a replacement. I hate that I even have to tear this thing down again. Hope you’re shunting and blocking in one swing!

You know when A$$zeus lowers prices to reasonable levels that sales must be totally in the toilet. I bet the overpriced 5090 GPU sales have become worse than stagnant, and rightfully so with how completely absurd prices have been. I hope they all learn a lesson from this and stop making screwing their customers a primary business objective.

 

Brother @electrosoft needs one of these.

I know lol. Can’t run a 5090 on air 💀! Anyways, your clocks are low before 3160ish under load due to power limits for certain, not temp limits just yet. Most 5090’s should hold 3300 at 45c temps maybe even more, maybe a tiny bit less. Voltage is all over the place on these cards but so far high/low it doesn’t even matter, I think cooling and tuning skill is critical for max benches with 5090. I have seen a few 1.100v+ 5090FE’s which can beat my lower voltage 5090FE, but they are on 8c water or something crazy like that. Which would make sense. The voltage really didn’t provide anything meaningful, it’s just based on how the card actually performs overall. And block+shunt is the only way to know.
 

@electrosoft

I’m thinking about selling my laptop. How much do you think it’s worth, or what should I maybe start at?

No coil whine again. I'm now convinced the Tripp-Lite surge protector + filter along with the EVGA 1600w P2 is helping. The odds of scoring what is quickly approaching 15 cards in a row on this setup tested not having coil whine or anything of note starting with the KPE 3090ti would have to be an incredible string of luck.

 

If I want to close the case back up, I'm going to have to plug back in the lower 3x120mm and install 140mm fans back on the top to keep the airflow going properly.

The new zone in WoW for the Xpac that dropped 10 days ago is brutal. It hits the 5090 harder than any other zone I've seen so far and immediately caps it to 100% utilization zoning in and getting about 130fps pure stock

 

For reference the 5080 was getting about 81fps in the same spot overclocked (+300 / +3000)

 

This is 4k Ultra 10 RT High (which is basically max everything)

 

 

 

That better not be a Janky yellow dongle I see😂. Be very careful!

While I am not interested in this game or anything else the RTS genre has to offer, the theme is very timely with the current frenetic and irrational rush to glorify all things AI as a post-modern holy grail.

 

You know, I downloaded the first Ashes of Singularity just for the benchmark on my Xeon 3175x because I had ran it on my 10900K/11900K/13900/14900/7980xe systems. And then I started playing the game. It’s kinda fun if you give it a chance. But it is dated looking now, I made it through a few levels and just stopped because it became too difficult to continue lol. But it’s pretty fun either way! I’ll try the 2nd one for sure. I love the original benchmark on the first one. I want to love RTS games but hard for me to fully invest in them. Also, BF6 Beta is live again tomorrow. If you decide to play. 🥳

I would guess human error on the part of the employee that marked it down that much. But, it makes me want to return this one for a refund, LOL.

That’s gonna be rare to absolute mission impossible to find such a deal. I have only seen like two crazy cheap 5090’s from Walmart and that’s one of them. Walmart marks down returns by like 50% apparently. But my Walmart doesn’t even have 5090’s, let alone people returning them there lol.!😂 I think your card for $2,399 is very decent price. I’d be happy with that my self. Only other option would be to return the Zotac and grab the PNY Epic for $2,199 that @electrosoft shared. Save $200 bucks get the same or better at least. 🤷‍♂️ $2,399.99 is a good deal for a 5090 in my opinion though. I think you have a decent card that needs shunt+water.

https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/gpus/zotac-rtx-5090-reportedly-catches-fire-during-battlefield-6-session

 

My last BF6 session was pulling down WAYYY more power than that Zotac was I’m certain of it. Also I was set at 3350Mhz boost in MSI Afterburner lol. Thing might hit 30c on the back side on a bad day. Tiny FE PCB is completely sandwiched in Liquid Metal and thermal pads on either side.

If any fire starts I think it’s gonna be my power supply, being that it’s a 1200 unit pretending it’s something much bigger.

I am not sure how much GPU power BF6 uses. Since I recently disabled GPU power monitoring in my OSD Riva tuner. So I’m not really sure how much the game uses GPU power wise. But that’s surprising any 5090 would catch fire in BF6, I didn’t get the feeling it was one of those (Super GPU power hungry games). My system idles at 340 watts just chilling at the wall. In BF6 I was hitting 1,200 watts at the wall. My CPU was eating 300 watts of that alone. So I’m gonna say maybe 600 watts with a full tilt OC on my GPU. Not a very power heavy game. 
 

That Zotac that burned was probably just busted lol.

And reports are prices will continue to come down because the 5090 stock piles just simply aren't moving....

 

To think at one point this card was $3300+ 3 months ago.....

 

FYI Best Buy will price match this online and with 5% rewards, it is the same price ($2089.99) when all is said and done and you don't have to open up a MC CC to get it.

 

I'm mulling this one over, but I might stick it out for another model / price. We'll see. At this rate, some of the original $1999.99 launch models might return to that pricing and via MC or BB, that is $1899.99 new or B&H even more with their tax back CC.

 

 

 

 

Someone snatched one of these up at Walmart for $1,124.99. But I’d still get it at $2000.

Will single-play campaign work with TPM and Secure Boot disabled, or did they screw the pooch for everyone including those that do not care about online multi-player?

I went through a whole mess making this work on my windows. But I ended up having to enable secure boot in the end, I made a mess of my Windows install trying to work around it, and then last night I ended up just re-installing Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC, Local account only, then I disabled updates, disabled defender, and used the app crapfixer to disable a whole bunch of other bloatware junk. New OS is running smooth and fast though! But it has secure boot enabled. Nothing I could do to get around it. 
 

Fortunately the game is well optimized! I mean Battlefield games have been messed up since Battlefield 1/Battlefield V/Battlefield 2042. It’s almost like their games have been so HEAVY feeling. Lots of ram usage, lots of AVX cpu usage, and TONS of skipping and loading in that you can feel in the mouse movement. For the first time EVER Battlefield has fixed this. Upon first load in, it’s smooth and stays smooth. It doesn’t feel like your PC has an elephant sitting on its chest like all older Battlefield games have felt. So that is great news! I hope it stays that way. But this is the first time in years where they actually have a smooth game. 
 

I think it’s worth buying. Also, multiplayer is GREAT. Everyone seems equally bad at the game, some people are really good here and there. So it’s good to start now because you can build on your skills and not start out playing with level 100 veterans who are elite players. Definitely a fun game! I can’t wait until 8/14 to play again. 

BF6 Beta was such a TEASE! The game was INSANE. Now we cannot play anymore!!! 😭I got to rank 10 Can't wait for next weekend. This game needs to launch already! 
@Talon was hitting it harder than me lol. I wish I would have started playing it earlier.  Anyways, it's amazing how useful cover is in this game. And spray someone with a M4 takes a little practice as first. But you can get the pattern down after some practice. GREAT GAME! Game was completely butter smooth. Maybe once per hour you would feel the tinniest stutter, but not enough to care. And it could have been because my frame rate was like sub 400 with x4 Frame gen on. Anyways. Fantastic game! It feels FASTER moving than other Battlefield titles. Kinda like a mix between COD and BF2042. I really like it! 

We can play again on 8/14 THRU 8/17 Can't wait. 

BF6 with my Xeon 3175x, DDR4, and PCIe Gen 3.0 x16, and 5090. 
 

This game loves lots of cores!

That has been true on all of my shunt mods. Not as much as I wanted it to go up, but enough to get a higher core overclock. But, I think they have locked down more stuff on the 5090 FE, which might be why.

 

My Port Royal score also went up about 700 points with the same overclock just by switching to the AORUS Master vBIOS.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! who is this guy and what happen to Mr.Fox?? All AMD rigs? Ryzen themed wallpaper? 🤣 BRENNER is Totally AMD fanboy’n it up in 2025. Hahaha. I’m just messing with you man lol. 😆 I’m about to jump to AMD soon my self. The new Threadripper 9960X has me drooling, and it’s the first time in years since original AMD Threadripper 1900X/1920X/1950X when I have really really wanted something from them like this. 🤩

You got to shunt mod and block that Zotac 5090. ASAP! But it’s a GREAT GPU. I don’t care if it’s Zotac or other brand, good price, good performance, let it rip! The 5090 is a great improvement over 4090. Very efficient! Better silicon, higher clocks, less voltage needed, better thermal transfer. The 32GB VRAM works great in a few high memory leak games I play, that still can’t fill up the VRAM. I can play for hours and will see 28GB VRAM utilized, and the 1% lows are butter smooth and no skips. 
 

For speedway you want 572.43 or 572.83, Steel nomad still loves 576.28 lol. Anyways, shunt mod won’t increase voltage it’ll just allow the max voltage to always be tapped as if the card is pulling 50 watts, but it’s really pulling 600+ watts, so it’s not throttling back the voltage anymore. You can exceed 600w in some heavy games and benches even with just 0.895mv on these monsters. 🔥you will notice the power limit can kick in much sooner than 600w and it’s all for the sake of maintaining stability trying to fit in that small power envelope, so without shunt it’s forcing down clocks and voltages. Either way, it’s a great GPU and a solid upgrade over the 4090. Especially for brutally heavy gaming like many games upscaled to 8K, the 5090 just chews right through it with ridiculous memory bandwidth. 
 

Pricing isn’t bad nowadays. It looks like you got a good deal! As far as shunt modding, I would go for soldering (2) 2mohm shunts or maybe even (2) 1mohm shunts. 
 

2mohm will give you 1200w max, and 1mohm will give you 1800w max. The thing is you may see phantom throttling much sooner than that so the more the better. Reliability is top notch! No melting cables here. I trust it 100%! All buttoned up in a closed case with some serious GPU power being put out in BF6 at 3.3Ghz on the core! I’ve had mine since March, and have been shunted since June. It has been 100% reliable with no 🔥🔥🔥🔥

BF6 is very fun!

It's true. How long it will last nobody knows. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Intel found out. I think NVIDIA is whole lot more dishonest and sketchy than Intel ever thought about being. None of these big tech companies are worthy of our trust or confidence. They'll all screw us over if given an opportunity. If it is not predatory pricing and shady dealings, shoddy support and warranty service, it is stealing our information, stockpiling it insecurely, sharing it with "partners" and creating vulnerabilities that place us all at risk for identity theft with data breaches.

Yeah Intel was being dumb. They were not innovative at all. Releasing terrible re-hashed products. And slowly losing bit by bit for years to AMD, seems like they literally let AMD catch up to them slowly over the period since 2017 when Ryzen first hit the streets. They lost the multithreaded crown first, (They still were not worried) then they lost the IPC crown. When the 10900K launched I knew it was gonna be over pretty soon. AMD now sells the most expensive crazy powerful CPU’s you can imagine. Their new Threadripper line-up is amazing! And they’ve been good for some years now. 

The one thing Nvidia is doing is they are innovating though. The 5090FE is innovation. High quality GPU I thought when I took mine apart. Their factory Liquid metal setup is top notch, incredible cooler solution, we need this on every GPU, cooling 600 watts on a real 2 slot cooler, the 4090 Asus Matrix failed terribly with factory Liquid Metal. The GPU’s are getting faster and killing it at the forefront performance wise. Even last gen 4090 is still the king compared to other brands. 

Biggest problem is pricing and popularity. It makes it so tough to buy brand new released products when everyone else wants one. It’s a businesses best friend though. And they’ve now grown to #1 richest company in the world. No competition is also very unfortunate. 
 

I do not want to see prices rise again on GPU’s. I hope they don’t because no way I can afford something like a RTX PRO 6000, and I feel like we’re headed that pricing direction. 

Guys.. We are so screwed. Nvidia is officially the richest company in the WORLD.  😂

Yep I am very proud to say that I cook that thing, my best score was 17,315 Steel Nomad so essentially +11% faster than the RTX Pro 6000 in that video. Since we cannot get a waterblock for a RTX PRO 6000 very easily unless you had one custom made it makes me not interested in one. And well they are $8,000 dollars lol..You could probably be cheaper to have a 5090 custom modified with 48GB GDDR7. 

Truth is, they are overpriced..And since we can cook one for 1/4 the price unless someone runs LLMS that thing should never even be considered. I did really want one a while back. Glad that crush finally went away.  😎 🤣

Normally with shunt modding my concern is the VRMs but in this case it's the connector 😄

I didn’t see this message before but anyways. Yeah connector has been very reliable so far. This scenario is extremely unrealistic, and this type of load probably will never happen real world. (Hope not)
 

I think anyone shunting a 5090 should run a 12vhpwr or 12v-2x6 that has wires individually loose so they can check each individual wire with an amp clamp. I actually did check mine before the shunt mod. And it was perfectly balanced. But people may have that happen, one wire is pulling like 20+ amps and running 100c+ and it decides to glow red. I haven’t checked the amperage balancing since because I returned my amp clamp to Amazon. (DC Amp clamps are kind of expensive, like $100+ dollars) but yeah I think 5090+block+shunt requires careful setup. But I feel confident with the cable. I really doubt it would melt after seeing what it can do. That’s not to say someone could not ru. My card in their system using some janky old bent up 12vhpwr cable and cook it to death! lol 😂 

@electrosoft Would really appreciate a shunt modded 5090fe, (He doesn’t know this) but if you run Steel nomad completely stock MSI AB closed, it cracks 16k Matching or beating a stock RTX Pro 6000.  Overclocking can yield another 8% to 8.5%on top of that. 😎 FE does not stand for Founders Edition anymore, but rather could be FE= “Fire Extinguisher” 🧯 

This is playing Starfield 4K native which is not too bad.

You can also use those meters on other appliances around the house to see how much juice they are leeching.

Our worst power users are central A/C, and now the dehumidifier under the home. We had loads of condensation underneath the house in crawl space from the A/C. So we had to get a dehumidifier hooked up. Fortunately it keeps the home cooler as well.

If he blow the PSU and it takes the GPU he could buy the new E-waste from Nvidia as replacement😀 Only $250 if he don't go stupid and pay close to $300 for the top sku from Asus.

 

What’s funny is, this means technically I managed to overclock my RTX 5090, and I squeezed more than a whole RTX 5050 out of it. 
 

RTX 5050 Steel Nomad FPS=22-23
STOCK 5090FE Steel Nomad FPS= 142 

XOC 5090FE Steel Nomad FPS= 173

Shout out to Lian-Li! 😂

I know right? SOLID PSU.

You have still some headroom🙂 LianLi offer OCP ar 122%. With 1611W and efficiency at 90% the power draw is around 1450W. 1450/1200 = 120% so within the OCP triggering points.

 

The 12V rail’s OCP triggering points are conservatively set, but this is not the case for the minor rails, where the corresponding OCP triggering points are set pretty high.

That what I want to hear. That’s great! I’m just gonna let it do its thing. Furmark 4K Burner is very unrealistic anyways.

That survey is only accurate to the extent it counts only those that respond to the survey when installing Steam for the first time and when it randomly appears. It does not reflect an accurate percentage of all Steam users because Steam is respectful and does not harvest that information without user permission. I always decline to participate when I am prompted. In other words, it is an accurate reflection of survey respondents, not all Steam users.

In addition to the available PSU headroom, when @tps3443 is finished with the torturing of his GPU for entertainment purposes the normal use scenario will not be anywhere near what Furmark is doing to it.

This only started to confirm if shunt was working properly. Update: Shunt working as intended. 

@johnksss I checked and same test shows 1,611 watts at the wall running furmark 4K on my 3.3Ghz 5090FE. My PSU is only a Lian Li Gold 1200 watt unit. So I guess it’s just busting ass really hard. 

Systems idles at 527 watts.
