Show off your 5090s thread!

Its been an expensive week but worth it :D

I tried to run it on my current Cooler Master V Series 850W from 2013 which was fine with my 4090 on 3 x PCI-E but it didn't like the 5090 so much, even though they are supposed to run on 3 x , then again its 12 years old so in went the new NZXT and it was good.

My Palit Gamerock 5090 arrived this morning. If anybody's interesting, here are a couple of side-by-side photos of it next to its older cousin, the Palit Gamerock 4090. The 4090's on the left, the 5090 on the right.

I hope it's worth the extra cost to you but as a 4090 owner i am just not sure it's worth the upgrade. curious what you think though once you get it installed and tested.
 
An essential purchase with a new 5090 is a new 12V-2x6 :cry: ordered this when I got the 5090 last month and only just arrived, it's a new Cablemod 12V-2x6 that terminates to 2 x 8 pin on psu side.. ultra tight fit on the GPU side and currently shows very little droop under load with it sitting at 12.263v at idle and 12.067v at 600w load . Need to pick up a clamp meter to check and monitor amps . Was initially concerned about the angle the cable may sit at due the the angled plug on the FE but it's all good with no need for sharp bends in the cable :)

Looks great, but.... 2x8??... do you mean 2x8 pin PCIe, or is the pin-out on the PSU rated for 600w?

Yeah 2 x 8 pin PCIe on the PSU side ... can supply 300w each no issues at all :)

Just to add , Asus , Corsair and Seasonic and probably others will all sell you a 12vhwpr / 12V-2x6 that terminates at 2 x 8 pin PCIe connectors .

5090 Astral



I like the vertical mount but wondering if its costing me some heat? Sitting around 75 at 1500 rpm, which noise wise is about the max I'm looking for.

In my case (Core V21), the window side panel adds 250-300 rpm in a 20 min stress test (peak 1,830rpm), compared to a mesh panel (peak 1515rpm). In gaming, an hour of cyberpunk with the mesh panel peaked at 1,335 rpm, which is relatively quiet on the 5090 Vanguard.

If the 5090 Astral is similar to the 5080 Astral, then 1,500 rpm is quite loud. Can you add fans to the bottom of your case?

No, I can turn up the input a bit. Indy Jones was fine, 1,300 but Cyberpunk went a bit mental haha. I have the new silent bios. Just wondering if I should just mount it horizontally, unless its unlikely to make much difference. Also trying to get a stable slight undervolt. Not a massive issue yet. Cheers.
