I think so.
Are Vapor chambers and additional fans really necessary?
I have a 4090 TUF OG OC and it says in the blurb:
“All three fans come to a standstill when GPU temps are below 50 Celsius, letting you play less-demanding games or perform light tasks in relative silence. Fans start up again when temps are over 55 Celsius”
The card has never been above 40c so the fans have never span up. I guess the 5090 may run warmer, but I’d be surprised if all the additional measures are needed if your case has decent airflow. Although I’ve not tried it during a summer yet admittedly. Having said that I keep my room at 21c all year round.

How is that even possible, my Gaming OC idles at like 50c
Are you playing at 1080p 30fps or something? Mine typically runs around 65C under load @4k 120fps. I'd be staggered if yours never gets above 40c, unless you have 20 case fans maxed out or something

The Gigabyte Xtreme Waterforce Waterblock looks lovely.
Haha idk! I think it may be because I have 13 fans in my case LOLHow is that even possible, my Gaming OC idles at like 50c

Aint look like there would be any waterblocks for FE cards this Generation due to the card design.
Same time it's a bit stupid to buy a card with cooler from Partners (pay premium on it), then take it off and put a waterblock which is likely to cost £200+
I like angled connector on 50x0 FE cards, same as 30x0 series, it feels more natural in that position (i have 3080FE). Why then Asus, Gigabyte and others don't do it? it makes so much more sense

I play at 3440x1440 with everything maxed out. I have 9x 120mm fans and 4x 140mm fans in the case tho so that’s probably why. Although they are all at a low enough RPM to be inaudible.Are you playing at 1080p 30fps or something? Mine typically runs around 65C under load @4k 120fps.

Evga did it best back in the day, they put their connectors at the end of the cards, so you don't even see it

I’ve got a few of these, nice little add ons! I use them with some of my older cards
Even running the new Indiana jones game maxed out at 200+ FPS it’s still sat at 39c and the CPU (9800x3d) at 46cAre you playing at 1080p 30fps or something?

It’s definitely the coolest running GPU I have ever owned.
