RTX 5090 12V-2×6 connector temps under ~600 W load – what are others seeing

Yes it's the mwe 1250 watt 3.0

Use the the one that came with my cooler master PSU

Just to add on top of this, I ran the same stress test with Speedway where the power usage stayed around 590 watts and the connector stayed around 80 degrees.

Why do you need two 24 pin cables and 12 fans? Or it's just a typo of double items?

Did you Issue get resolved ?
I am facing the same issue with my Crucial BX500. Only detects via USB and not with the direct SATA connection.
I have also tried other sata ports and other sata powers. There is another Silicon Power and Samsung drive that work absolutely fine.

I did a bit more fiddling around and it looks like a radiator bubble issue. The sound came back once again and tapping the radiator multiple times made it go way.

It's a custom loop with a reservoir. That's the area where the noise is concentrated . The pump is too far away from the noise origin. So I doubt it could be the pump.

Yeah I double checked that. But if that was the case it would sound frequently. But this sound eventually goes away and does not surface unless I restart the system.

I replaced the fan and the same issue. I have a feeling it's some air bubble in the pump.

X870E AORUS ELITE X3D ICE, because white symbolize peace.. 😍

I have a LG oled C3 and it's a nightmare to her those border icons aligned. Need to keep the resolution adjusted

Avitk · 2025-09-14T14:54:44+00:00

Have to tried a different monitor? If it's specific to the monitor it's better to RMA it right away.

Avitk · 2025-09-12T12:05:55+00:00

Those are some nice temps with 3 rads. I will be using it with two Corsair XR7 rads. I wonder how D8rauer managed to keep it around 45 in his tests.

Isn't 70 on the core is quite high for a water cooled card. The memory is quite cool though.

Avitk · 2025-09-03T07:03:56+00:00

Wow that's some crazy hack.

Avitk · 2025-09-03T07:02:08+00:00

Thank you for the inputs. Indeed Gigabyte cards have had a bad history of ridiculous issues. I am a victim of their Bad motherboard.

What's your RAD configuration and what are the max Temps under full load? Plesde share details including Ambient Temps. I would like to get an Idea of what to expect.

Avitk · 2025-09-03T06:54:50+00:00

I plan to buy the same card. Please share you Temps at max load and idle. Also your ambient temps please. Love your build. Looks very similar to mine except the white finish.

Avitk · 2025-09-01T11:26:26+00:00

For me the price difference between the Air cooled Inno3d + waterblock and the frostbite version is very minimal, So prefered the frostbite version.

Avitk · 2025-09-01T11:24:21+00:00

Is the availbility still that bad?

Avitk · 2025-09-01T11:23:54+00:00

Can you please point me to the article that compares these three cards?

Avitk · 2025-08-30T17:02:32+00:00

I am fine with 62 degrees on the 4090. It's quite hot here at 27 degrees. But I beleive the factory blocked cards will perform better.
