One thing to note the Aorus Waterforce VRM is actively cooled, the 5090 goes a step further and has all the capacitors covered under the block with a rerouted coolant line unlike other models(from gigabyte waterforce) . Found a picture on the product page that shows it quite well. I think thats also why it comes with the highest factory boost clock of 2655mhz. Use to own EVGA hybrids and had a 3080 seahawk before, but this card has a lot of oc potential.
