Our hybrid air-liquid cooling design for the RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID features a blend of our latest STORMFORCE Fans, designed to enhance airflow with minimal noise, and a top-of-the-line closed loop cooling system with automotive-grade coolant.

I expect this to sell for $2800 considering the 4090 version was $800 over MSRP.
 
Actually the Liquid Suprim started at $150 over the FE version at $1749. I was lucky enough to get one from BB at the exact moment someone was returning it unopened. It's scalpers that took it to $800 or more over that, and yep, I expect them to screw this one up royally.

 
Well, here we go. $2500 for the liquid suprim. I don't know. I just don't know if I'm even going to try to get this but thinking about it.

 
and there's two versions an Overclocked (OC) and Super Overclocked (SOC). They reviewed the SOC version.
 
Doesn't look like much of difference at all, performance wise. Could probably OC the FE card for the same gains.
 
Yeah that's what I'm thinking. Bottom line for all the 5090s right now, and this is literal, they can go past 600W TDP because that's the limit of the connector. Granted that's not taking into account power from the PCIe but NV has locked memory overclocking and I'm guessing that might be way since mem can be very power hungry.

Biggest advantage for liquid cooled cards is temp and noise levels, something this does exceed at, seriously rocks on that level, but I don't think that's worth $500 more for it. Still on the fence but having doubts. Need to do more research on some other details as well. Still very early in the game for this stuff as well.

I mean if you consider a good link fan set from Corsair is about 120... and that you're adding a 360 rad to your case with 3 distinct fans...

I mean I want the FE first. If I can't fid that a AIO MSI Suprim is on the list for sure.

Very valid points and now I'm feeling a bit better about it. Like I said the only real gains will be temps and reduced noise levels but that can matter when working with a smaller case like the ones I use now. Pretty sure it'll fit but I need to research the dimensions to be sure and no worries with my PSU.

I'm actually leaning to one of the Lan Li power supplies with the lip and additional USB 2 header expansion. I need the headers.. considering fan controllers want one, rads want one, pumps want one, freakin USB ports want one... it's getting out of hand!

Well, I checked the dimension specs for this SOC version with the 4090 version I have and they're pretty close to the same. Of course, the 4090 has a 240mm aio and the 5090 is 360mm but other than that the 5090 is only slightly larger (width and height). I'll have to pop open the case to take a look to be sure. I'm using that rig as reference but this will potentially replace the 4080 SUPER but I need to make sure the card and it's radiator will fit which is why I'm referencing the 4090 rig. If anyone is curious about the case, I have detailed photos in the case section of both rigs.

5090 version dimensions:
Card: 280 x 148 x 51mm
Radiator: 394 x 121 x 55mm
Tube length: 280mm

4090 version dimensions:
Card: 280 x 140 x 43 mm
radiator + fan: 274 x 121 x 55 mm
Tube length: L470 ± 10 x D11.2 mm

4080 SUPER dimensions:
355.5mm x 149.6mm x 72.1mm / 14" x 5.9" x 2.8"
