It looks like the VRAM gets hot as fukk, just like the 3090. I wonder if that’s something the partner cards will do a better job of handling.

I’m already eyeballing either an Astral LC or Suprim Liquid 5090. The water cooled cards are more intriguing for me this time around. Plus with how expensive all these cards are anyway, why not.They will. Or you can join watercooling gang like @Ciggavelli and me
Nah dawg. You need to enter the custom loop gang. Heatkiller waterblocks

Might need to include some refrigeration in your loop, fukking with that 5090

Astral 5090 coming in at $2800! Still copping.
I need to get a better CPU. My CPU bottlenecking my GPU. I'm getting lots of frame drops in some games. I'm still on a Ryzen 7 3700x with a RX 7900 XTX. Gonna switch to the 5080 hopefully next week.
I'm about to return my 7900xtx and upgrade my PC build. The GPU alone is $999 and it's only a little bit better than the 7900xt. I can return it and use that entire amount to get a new CPU, mobo and ram which I'm still using DDR4 and a Ryzen 7 3700x which is old now.
So essentially I'm upgrading my CPU, RAM and motherboard while going back to the same GPU as I can get the 7900xt for $~700 and return the 7900xtx which was barely better. Now I can then sell my old CPU and RAM and get that and upgrade the GPU next month. Perfect.

Some Chinese Roy Bahn AI just wiped billions off Nvidia's stock value

Nah. I'll wait on amd 9070.

Today I got reminded of why I hate BIOS updates. This mofo now won't boot 
I've tried everything: removed the battery, tried clearing the CMOS by shorting the battery pins. Nothing works. The CPU debug light is RED and wont budge

I never update my bios unless it's needed for a new cpu. What brand mobo?Today I got reminded of why I hate BIOS updates. This mofo now won't boot

I was trying to conscious of security since my last update was back in 2023. The mobo is MSI Mortar B650M
It doesn't have a bios flashback feature? This is also why I pay more for premium boards that has a double bios feature too.
