Nice setup/colour scheme

Have you tried the extra fan on the 5090? Does it screw in or clip on?

Thanks - I think I might change up the scheme for a blue / beige look for spring/summer, but it's working for me right now.

I have not tried the extra fan on the 5090 (or 5080). The card already gets a bit close to the AIO tubes do I didn't fancy rerouting them to attach it, plus managing a non-Lian Li fan when everything is dialled in via L Connect and having to find a spare and accessible fan header was unappealing. If I had a spare SL INF fan I might have added it, but I only have a spare TL, which needs a different controller so too much hassle.

Also, the card is cool and quiet (relatively speaking) so a 4th fan seemed a bit pointless? I haven't even bothered switching to the quiet VBIOS. That's versus the (gorgeous) Astral 5090 I briefly had, where the rear fan seemed to add quite a lot of noise (even with quiet VBIOS and an updated VBIOS) without obviously improving temps.

The attachment mechanism is a rubber shroud that pokes into some holes on the backplate so 'clip on' rather than screw.

Wow! How did you manage to snag both cards? Congrats

I actually haven't found it too hard to pick up cards - just from using the HotStock app, plus my own religious checking of bookmarked pages for the cards I wanted.

The 5080 Aorus was obtained for its original MSRP from a high street retailer and the 5090 was a marked-up purchase from one of the usual etail suspects.

Nice! A nice undervolt should do nicely.

This is My 3rd Ever Build By Myself I managed to get a 5090 Aorus Master Ice by sheer luck in the uk by checking if it was in stock when about to buy an other 5090 and saw it was in stock so rushed to buy.

5090 FE arrived today! Very impressed with it's design and feel so far

Feels a bit small in my O11D EVO XL, though once I've thoroughly tested it, I'll be moving it to a O11 Air mini so it's portable as I travel this year.

Update, moved my 5090FE to a O11 Air mini as I need it portable for when I travel this year. 5090FE looks much better in a smaller case IMO!

Temperatures and noise actually improved in the smaller case, no doubt due to the case fans being closer to the GPU and directly blowing onto it.

@IT Troll I tried changing the CPU heatsink orientation to match the GPU - this leD to higher CPU temperatures and the same GPU temperatures, so I went back to stock orientation.

Hey, do you feel like it needs a GPU anti sag bracket? Going to install mine in soon and it feels decently heavy
