Scored a 5090, but two problems 😂
So yesterday I randomly checked a supplier, and somehow I got lucky. I managed to score a Gigabyte Windforce RTX 5090 OC for €2369 (which is what the FE originally cost in my country). I didn’t hesitate and bought it!
Recently I built my first custom loop, and I was waiting to get a 5090 and a water block. When I built the loop, I never thought the GPU wouldn’t fit (I have 33 cm of space). So here is my temporary custom GPU frame 🥲.
The second issue is that it might be hard to find a water block for this GPU. So far I haven’t found any, except EKWB announced one: https://www.ekwb.com/news/meet-the-new-ek-quantum-vector³-water-block-for-nvidia-geforce-rtx-50-series-gpus/
Strangely enough, the Asus ones are already for sale, but I don’t see anything for Gigabyte yet.
