Nvidia is never sending me a GPU again…

How fast can an RTX 5090 go? Well today we're going to find out by pumping 1000W through the 600W 12VHP connector.

 

Buy an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X CPU: https://geni.us/E8B2vj

Buy 32GB of G.SKILL Trident Z5 Neo RGB Series DDR5 RAM 6000MT/s CL26: https://geni.us/TPgq3ml

Buy an ASUS ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090: https://geni.us/EA74H

I really love these sketchy solutions to modding a GPU like mad

nooo! Alex you've shown Nvidia what's possible their gunna make a 1000w 12v high power now.

Checking power consumption of the thermofisher unit can reveal probable refrigerant leak because compressor will take less power if pressure has reduced.  That is how I can tell on my chevy Volt anyway with leaky evaporator.

I remember when the water filter was clogged. Was it the water cooled bed experiment? I'd like to revisit all the vids with this!

That radiator fan had a video devoted to it? Ahh memories

Here's the link for the leaderboard.

LTT is currently 9th place. Splave is 3rd.

 

They really could've gone up higher had they used a CPU specifically for the benchmark instead of one that made sense for gaming.

I almost had a heart attack seeing that power usage. The "1000 Watts" mod for the 4090 was kinda clickbait because it couldn't draw more than 550 and I never imagined a GPU drawing that kind of power. I literally can't even imagine what you could do with the RTX PRO 6000 as that significantly more cores. And I am genuinely scared of the future generations of Nvidia.

 

Were you guys not allowed to overclock the CPU? Disabling SMT would have helped. This is where Raptor Lake is still the best CPU which gives lots of clocks and low latency.

Soon we will be overclocking power supplies! (Warning!: this may end badly)

and the submission date for LTT is April 23, that's 54 days old!

Well they did film this a while ago so that tracks

I mean liquid cooled PSUs were a thing for a bit

Please do it with an Intel CPU to beat the record!

If you follow videos from JayzTwoCents you will have seen he has been trying quite hard to beat the LTT score and get up the leaderboard, and did so in his latest video.

 

But it also looks like he has now pushed himself up to 5th:
