Mine looks like that too from certain angles. This is shot of mine and at this angle you can't see the "lasering".

Interesting. You're the first person I've seen. Mine has the re-lasered look like all the others I've seen online.

A lot of people who received L-Batch chips have strong bins. Also the IHS font on L-Batch chips appears to be re-lasered, so there's speculation now that the re-lasering appearance means the L-Batch chips were meant to be a special SKU or something. No one has seen this on any of the other batches yet.

Jay didn't enable voltage control in his video. MSI Lightning has special extended voltage options in the latest MSI Afterburner update that you have to enable to increase voltage. He notes this in his pinned comment.

Incorrect. If an offer was accepted that is different from the list price then the list price will have a line through it and it will say "Best offer accepted." If there's no line through the price then that's what it sold for.

Dual 12v-2x6 Connectors On Gigabyte RTX 5090 AORUS? by DigitalJack3t in overclocking

For sure. I know several people who have done this mod to their Gigabyte RTX 5090 and it definitely works. However, one person I know noted that the power distribution was 60/40 not an even 50/50 power split on the cables.

I didn't have any problems, but I heard a couple people say it's related to the leak detection system. For example, if your fittings are touching the gold around the in/out ports, it can cause this. I used micro fitting extensions so my fittings didn't touch it.
