NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - (PRE)ORDER DISCUSSION **NO COMPETITOR HINTING**

[Rawr]

I've gone down 9 places on the other site since ordering a TUF 5090. Will be 3-4 months at this rate: went from 108 to 99th place.

Lot of people getting cold feet about the power issues I guess

Zotac has LED indicator of not fully fitted cable too, though it 100% won't detect that 30AMP pushing through single wire. Nothing will as far as I know.

The ASUS cards do, via GPU Tweak III.

You’d hope so - I agree. Using the adaptor they give you is just ‘redundancy control’, to be extra safe and to avoid any stress of them interrogating you during the RMA process. You don’t want them saying “you’ll have to take this up with you PSU provider” - which I would hope is unlikely but it would be particularly frustrating!

But yes, as long as you follow the instructions that come with the GPU and follow that to the letter you should be OK re: RMAs.

I've ordered an Asus card, and using Asus ATX 3.0 power supply at present with PSU supplied PCI-E 16-pin x 1 (both PSU & component side). So, if something goes wrong- interdepartmental fight? I'm sure it was the Cybenetics boss that said he would, and does, use the cable supplied with the PSU. And Asus like to highlight that Cybenetics gave the PSU A+.
Aware that not all PSU's have a 16 pin on the PSU side. But, 'we' still shouldnt be thinking 'hopefully'...on expensive GPUs.

Just seen msi trio 5090 on Amazon 4 left in stock, price £6k

A competitor store did 3 drops of those yesterday for £3k, so it's probably the buyers reselling

We’re in total hypotheticals here, who knows how anyone will act… but…

If the 50 series GPU uses a H++ connector and you plug in a native 12 volt cable into a H+ PSU socket… if there is an issue they might turn around and say that you knowingly made and took a risk on a mismatch. On one hand, this would seem ridiculous because everyone is saying these cables are the same and everything should be compatible, but then look at this info from Coolermaster:

H+ and H++ connectors and cables are compatible with one another and will work well. However, by combining H+ with H++ cable you will not receive all the additional safety benefits that ATX 3.1 brings. Specifically, combining H+ and H++ loses the tighter connection provided by using only H++ connectors.

…?! Very difficult for anyone to navigate with confidence.

There’s a big Reddit thread here of loads of people trying to figure out what the deal is and who, if anyone, is being misleading.

I mean weren't a lot of these PSU's or cables themselves sold on the basis that they'd be fine for future GPUs too? If they're not that's not going to look very good.

 

[Cosimo]

The world has gone mad, £6089 for a trio....

 

[parisv]

I’m sure some of you have seen but the 5090 Suprim Liquid got an outstanding review by Hardware Unboxed:

Kind of wish I went for that now… - ejecting the air right out the case would keep my CPU cooler! Oh well

I purchased a cable from Corsair for my 4090 which went straight into the PSU rather than using the one with my GFX card.
It was pretty expensive and was from Corsair so I trusted it would be good enough and my 4090 hasn't caught fire YET.

Triiiii-o.

Triiiooooooo!

I want a Trio and I want one now.

But, er, not at that price.

Is this the x2 8 pin version?

That's what I'm using. My 5090 hasn't caught fire either. Yet.

I have the old RM1000x from 2021, I got the 2x 8pin to 12vhpwr from them too, hoping to use it when my card arrives. Is that the same kind of cable you're using?

Yeah. Same PSU too.

 

[crashvoodoo]

I upgraded from an EVGA 750 to an Asus TUF 1000 gold with a direct 12vhpwr and I haven't had a single issue with it. Recent did a rebuild for my 9800x3D and decided to inspect it at that point. Not a thing wrong with it so was just going to use it for the 5090 when I eventually receive it.

An unexpected benefit I might have with the H6Flow case is since I'm using an eATX board it slightly overhangs resulting in some of the inbound airflow from the 3 front angled fans to been routed into the rear chamber. I should be able to fan the flames when I turn on Multi Flame Generation

 

[Awahwah]

See OC have a couple of 5080s in stock

 

[antixtreme]

OCUK sell all models >£1400 first. Then open order for card <£1400. Nice chest move. But still Zotac 5080 Solid non OC 1229.99 while competitor 1099.99 ? Nah I rather wait Ventus 3x at 979

I got a brand new RMX1000x delivered from Corsair a couple of weeks ago. Should what I need for an RTX5090 be in the box?

Certainly my Asus PSU quoted 'ready' for 50 series...
