Just posting for awareness. One more thing to look out for, especially if your GPU is vertically mounted.

Hopefully, this only affects a small batch and they fix any affected cards under warranty without the typical AIB partner shenanigans.

Can't fault you for staying away tbh. Hopefully, you get sorted soon

Asus: Let's add a questionable feature so we can charge more.
On a separate note, the Ventus was available for £1,939 this morning (only the second time a 5090 has been sub £2k).
I would say bots would have bought that before u could react

I think you're the first here who i've seen with the Ventus. How are temps when gaming (either with/without an undervolt?)
Bit strange the Ventus should be the only card to go sub 2k so far, or even close to it, and at different retailers as well.
Is there actually a reason for it, such as build quality? I did read this was a reference design so should be very similar to other base models?
@Gibbo thank you for delivering the MSI 5090 quickly

I got one from that drop as well, thought you might have...
Will have a look later today but as long as there is no/little coil whine it will be good as I going to watercool my system again. Especially if my uv and/or overclocked is close to the Astral, even at 575w, as temps and fan noise will be sorted later, and I can always put different bios on it for 600w, but I think an oc at 575w on water will be a good safety net for the cable.
After the Astral LC, temps were OK with no fan noise really, but the pump noise was way more than a D5. Don't see why I should put up with it/poor value.
So, I'll remove both AIOs and watercool it 'properly'.
Still £800 cheaper than the cheapest Astral LC, and £1,200 than the one I bought from OCs, which, on reflection is more than I paid for a 4070ti new, which is nuts.
I only 'need' another radiator but will get new fixtures and fittings and probably a new cpu wb, as 5 years old.
lucky you. mine doesn't show being dispatched@Gibbo thank you for delivering the MSI 5090 quickly
