Another MSI yellow-tipped power cable burns on GeForce RTX 5090 - VideoCardz.com

MSI yellow-tipped power cable burns again Another day, another 12V-2×6 cable cooked to perfection. A Redditor has reported that he started noticing something was off when their monitor randomly shut off with a “DisplayPort not connected” message. After reinstalling drivers and even contacting...

So much for that connector.

Well if you're going to insist on using an old fan curve from an old card, that isn't suitable for your new card which has more fans and runs hotter, then there's little point asking for help here.

To clarify you need to undervolt and have the fan curve on auto. Alternatively you got a duff card like Debauer and should RMA

My fan curve is and always has been on the aggressive side which is why this GPU was out of the norm in terms of all my previous cards. Again I stand by the fact that this wasn’t down to a fan curve or high temperatures it’s simply down to the fan on top, which many users have reported. I’ve used the same fan curve in MSI Afterburner and never noticed such excessive noise like this before, ever.

You clearly didn’t read my response to another user. After tweaking the fans and flashing the quiet bios I’ve got things under control.

Undervolting is a choice not a necessity. My temps were great but the noise was unbearable, you’re making out as if my fans were kicking in due to high temps, or it’s a fault either with the GPU. Even at 100% fans it’s much louder than previous cards, and the difference is down to the top fan.

I’m glad Debauer has called this out because it’s simply unacceptable!

It's well known that the rear fan on the 5090 Astral is rubbish and overly loud. If you're gonna buy a Astral 5090, get the AIO model not the air cooled model

The 4th fan on the Aorus Master is excessively noisy for almost zero benefit as well. I tried mine for an hour or so then junked it. Pointless.

People are complaining about the LC model also.

You’re right about the rear fan, it’s ridiculously loud and serves very little benefit.

GeForce RTX 5090 prototype with quad 16-Pin power connectors leaks out - VideoCardz.com

NVIDIA had RTX 5090 design with four power connectors It looks like an early engineering board. One thing that should be noted right away is that this is a prototype. We can clearly see all the USB, pin, and connector headers not intended for a retail product. This is undoubtedly a...

Edited out issue as im not sure if the correct thread. Soz



Many thanks

Have finally applied an undervolt. Just a rough and relatively safe 0.9V & 2800mhz. Actually incredible the drop in temperature and power usage. Haven’t touched the memory. Hopefully keeps the card a bit healthier.

It's magic isn't it (until you inevitably get a crash ). I stick to quite a conservative UV to aid heat output. I'll happily accept a 5-7% hit to FPS if i'm under 350w for example. Especially as summer approaches.

I actually don't push the 5090 beyond 380w in many games I play. You could say I didn't need to upgrade from my 4090 (and you'd be right ). But I couldn't resist.

Which 5090 did you end up getting?

I lucked out with the FE. Sure i would prefer a better cooler, but the price helped reduce those concerns, as has undervolting.

Have gone gone down to 0.89v and up to 2827mhz leaving memory alone. Scored 15000 on steel nomad with 62C max on the core and 520w max pulled. Seems decent to me.

I wonder why, the board doesn't have the number of VRM's that would suggest its even capable of drawing more than the normal 600w of the 5090.

One of my profiles is 0.9v at 2794MHz. I just used that which I got online and it seemed perfectly stable. I could push more to see how far I could go, but not had the time.

I have 4 profiles on AB. The best one gets my 5070Ti close to 5080 performance

I tried 0.895mv @ 2800MHz but it crashed. My go to safe UV profile is 0.9mv @ 2750MHz. I am yet to experience a crash. It seems in line with stock performance in games, or maybe a couple of % worse at most. Saves me 100w of heat ouput so that's the main thing.

I also have a 0.865mv @ 2400MHz profile for older games where i can easily hit 240fps with low GPU usage. This lowers power consumption even further.

Silicon lottery I guess. But yeah. Huge power and heat/noise savings to be had with most cards.

My efficiency profile runs at 0.850v @ 2600MHz.

I will probably use that for 90% of my steam library.

Is everyone still using MSI afterburner for this or is there another tool now?

Been using AB for years with zero issues.

Mines fine.

I’ve not tried upping the MHz on my super low UV as no need, but it does seem UV is slightly more limited on the FE models from what i have read.
