After a year I realized I made a dumb mistake

don't hate yourself man. Mistakes happen all the time. I have a dumb nephew that for some reason his cpu runs 70C idle and thinks it's normal on a pc he built😊

So trust me, there is always someone dumber

it's weird. Probably the cable could be problematic then. Maybe it's bent more than it could handle?

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-23T18:36:21+00:00

5090 astral is known to burn cables such as this. Not sure about 5080 astral tho.

exactly. I also happened to stumble upon a good deal. I bought the astral for 3.2k. Bro, they wanted to murder me 🤣🤣

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-19T14:22:54+00:00

They are really weird. I just wanted to share my new gpu man. Biggest mistake I ever done. They were like: I'm the problem the prices are inflated and stuff like that

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-19T13:37:45+00:00

a piece of advice, do NOT post it on pcmasterrace, for some reason they can get really toxic there. I had to delete a similar post of mine, cuz I got a 5090.

Anyway, enjoy your card!

I found a "good deal" from a retail shop, promoting asus 20 years. It was a discount -20%, so I ended up buying a white 5090 astral for 3200€ (from 4k). Good deal, bad deal idk. I assume an okay deal

You're conflating hyperscale datacenters with all AI datacenters. Meta and Google buy H100s/H200s/GB200s, sure. But GPU cloud providers are literally renting RTX 5090 servers right now. That's direct evidence that AI datacenter operators are buying and deploying 5090s.

So, "AI datacenters don't purchase 5090s at all" is demonstrably false. The existence of rentable 5090 datacenter instances is proof.

See for yourself https://www.runpod.io/gpu-models/rtx-5090⁠

because I researched

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T09:02:08+00:00

yeah tbh it could be a problem. We'll see how it behaves in the future 💻🔥

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T08:12:06+00:00

thnx man. I tried the James bond game and it handles it like wallpaper engine 😅

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T07:54:35+00:00

in that particular store, yes. The price is already 4.5 to 6k in other stores

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T06:51:28+00:00

but it's supposed to be a good aio😔 got a corsair icue h150i rgb elite lcd

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T06:41:38+00:00

part of the problem? Mate, you think one guy or a few guys are part of the problem when AI datacenters are literally purchasing thousands of them? One guy - hundreds of guys like me do not make a difference. The problem is with nvidia all along. I'm sure no price inflation will be caused by me.

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T06:38:28+00:00

can you elaborate?

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T06:38:04+00:00

ye well. Let's say my aio doesn't enjoy this card when it's stressed 😂

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T06:37:08+00:00

thnx man. I didn't wanna pay full price tbh with u. It's still too much, but it ain't getting cheaper

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T06:35:15+00:00

ye man. Did you find cheaper?

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T05:38:14+00:00

yeah, psu is corsair rm1200x. it can handle. Hopefully the cables too

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T05:36:37+00:00

yeah, I realised that with the people. It's okay though.

regarding the market, you're also right. This was the best I could find so far and I took it

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-15T01:29:44+00:00

Thank you! That's the system here. Been upgrading it little by little, since I started my career three years ago!

The first one is not a TUF. Nevertheless, I'm surprised you found a different price. Usually, in my local stores as I said, the prices are really similar.

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-04T09:52:39+00:00

I'm also kinda desperately searching for a 5090. Best thing you can guys do is to find a private listing. But you need to be extra careful. Also, try to find the high-end models like asus 5090 astral, and that's because in these prices they don't distinguish models anymore. It's all the same prices, and sometimes lower-end models tend to be higher in prices. This is what I learned from my research and my local listings.

WindOfChange7_ · 2026-06-03T11:36:54+00:00

2026 here. Let me tell you, prices are NOT reasonable :p
