    I consider this rather foreboding for their SFF 5090 release. If anyone is getting one, seriously reconsider getting one from another manufacturer, the guy in charge of overheating concerns got thrown out the window.

      People stick x90 cards into SFF cases? Seems almost counterproductive.

        The 4090 FE was doable in larger systems. But I really doubt a 5090 would fit in anything considered SFF. Even stretching the definition to the max.

        Apparently the 5090 is the same length as the 4090, but only two slots. Maybe it’s taller but it’s hard to tell. That siad cooling the rest of your system will be much more of an issue with almost 600 watts getting blown around in there.

      The consumer cards will have a double flow through HS, so they could behave completely different than crammed racks. Still, this is sketch, and many things about this generation need to be watched before purchase IMO.

        People who’ve gotten samples are claiming that it’s basically like having a hairdryer in your system. This suggests that normal GPU positioning will interfere even more with the CPU in an air-cooled system. People might need to consider switching to AIOs, use specially designed cases, or just buy one of the water cooled 5090 partner models just to make sure. In normal configurations the extra heating is liable to affect CPU, RAM, and potentially even M.2 performance.

    Anyone who remembers the release of the 4000 series would have expected this. Upon release multiple releases were frying.

    Oh no. Just yesterday I’ve seen an article about Blackwell PCs and what not.

    You’re telling me it’s not ready?

    That they lied to me?

    How could that happen?

    Oh no God no!
