just bought a rog astral 5090,worried about the overheating on the plugs,i have bought a 1200 rog platinum 3.1 power supply.would you use the supplied cables with the card or the cables with the psu ?
 
I recommend using an Afterburner profile to keep your card quiet for one and cool. In fur mark with the Asus tool active as it measures amps across the connection, some go red. This can be controlled very well with afterburner
 
I fire up HW info each time before I start gaming. After I have finished I check the max amps for each pin for piece of mind.

There is one pin that always reads 1 amp less than the others, which is apparently within tolerance.

Where is it in hwinfo? Or is that something that only shows in hwinfo on the astral because of the pin monitoring?

Touch wood but I’ve been lucky and not had any issues with 4090’s I’ve owned and the 5090 so far but I don’t tend to run more than 400w in most games.

yes you only get to measure the amps across each pin with the Asus GPUTweakIII software. Which is only applicable to the Asus gpu. The start of the topic in the thread discusses the Astral hence the response. I really cant emphasise that you should control the 5090 with software. My Astral was awful. Noisey and hot where as my 4090 was great out of the box. I believe the 5090 runs hotter than they are letting on and this is why they dropped the hot spot reading. Without controlling it, i do not need the heating on at all in the room, its that stupid. My 360 AIO at the top of the case was like a fan heater and during summer extremely unpleasent making gaming untolerable. Go youtube it. Im using this one
. Some of the tubers are running the 5090 at 1200mhz at idle. Too high IMO. Mines at 550 capping out at 2950. Runs cool and quiet

The high idle core clocks is because they’re undervolting incorrectly.

They move the whole curve as opposed to just a section.

For a 0.950 undervolt for example I normally shift + left click from about 0.800 to 0.950 then move the curve so that idle core clocks under that voltage function normally and I get clocks around 200-300mhz at idle.
