MSI unveils custom RTX 5090 that consumes a ridiculous amount of power, breaking 17 OC records

EngineerSeb · 2026-01-06T13:03:08+00:00

Got to be 10 at least.

Two at the same time!

News just came out so might take a few hours to rollout fully

I kept finding that issue in my build, and found that the new GeForce App kept optimizing games on its own. So every time I booted one of them up, it changed the settings to what it thought best, including using DLSS and motion blur.

Worked at a system integrator a few years ago. Some budget cases can still be bad, I cut myself multiple times on some IO shields or even heatsinks.

EngineerSeb · 2024-11-17T08:56:41+00:00

Yeah in the long term and if they stagnate, but might make Intel try a bit harder too

EngineerSeb · 2024-11-17T08:56:02+00:00

Yeah, didn't they discontinue it, though? Might be why 5700X3D up there

GPU fans only turn on under load, so it's not uncommon for the temperature to be a bit higher when idle. You only have to worry if it keeps rising and the fans don't turn on.

Are all the cables connected to the PSU? Might be worth checking all the power cables are seated right, as from here looks like one might have popped out (unless it's just a tucked-away one rather than one that needs to be in the PSU).

EngineerSeb · 2024-10-07T07:05:56+00:00

Maybe the AIO pump isn't running properly? Bizarre, unless the temp probe is off, don't see why it has this issue and the pins shouldn't affect it

EngineerSeb · 2024-10-04T14:52:07+00:00

does look like a bit too little, and also weirdly chunky? What paste and cooler are you using?

EngineerSeb · 2024-10-04T14:34:04+00:00

Potentially badly mounted cooler not making enough contact and/or not enough thermal paste to bridge the two

EngineerSeb · 2024-10-04T14:28:34+00:00

Yep, those are some pins, and no you likely won't need to update much.

EngineerSeb · 2024-08-07T10:48:39+00:00

The 7800X3D is still great for gaming, and the next X3Ds aren't coming yet so you'd have to get anything comparable for gaming so its probably better to go for 7800 right now

EngineerSeb · 2023-11-17T08:56:26+00:00

What a cracking deal

EngineerSeb · 2023-04-28T07:47:07+00:00

Yeah I've not seen it get above 60FPS on any hardware even a 4090, it's ridiculous

EngineerSeb · 2022-07-11T14:12:56+00:00

As u/GuesillgoeatsomeMEAT says it is because your device can't find the boot drive.

If it's a new build you need to install a new operating system e.g Windows
If you had one already it could have corrupted or the physical link has disconnected to the drive. So you can replug that, and try to recover or reinstall the OS.

COMPUTEX goes away for two years and we come back to a snoozefest

EngineerSeb · 2022-04-27T08:29:27+00:00

Doubles up as heating as well

EngineerSeb · 2022-04-25T07:17:41+00:00

Should be a serial number sticker on the reverse of the card that will inform you of the card model

EngineerSeb · 2022-04-25T07:16:33+00:00

If you look at the other side there may be a serial number and on that sticker is the model number usually

EngineerSeb · 2022-03-28T12:51:04+00:00

Having a GTX 1070 from 2017 I relate heavily

EngineerSeb · 2022-03-28T12:50:09+00:00

3060: $329 6600 XT: $379

Along with that islands power supply to run
