May 11, 2024 – It is said that NVIDIA is trying a huge 600W cooler for its next-generation GeForce RTX 5090−. The company is getting ready to launch its Blackwell GPU line² at the same time as this news.
Why We Need a Bigger Cooler
NVIDIA’s top-of-the-line card right now, the GeForce RTX 4090, has a big cooling cover. But the RTX 5090 that’s coming out soon might need an even bigger air cooler². The RTX 4090’s TDP is 450 watts, but some units might be able to go as high as 600 watts². Similar trends can be seen with the RTX 5090, which can improve performance even more thanks to its higher power allocation.
Problems that come with a bigger cooler
A bigger cooler might help handle the RTX 5090’s high heat loads, but it might also make things harder for PC builders. Some people are having trouble because many coolers are too big to fit in normal cases². Because of this, people want wires and connections that are at different angles².
What’s Next for NVIDIA’s Coolers
The Founders Edition GPU coolers from NVIDIA have changed over the years². The company has moved on from coolers with blowers in the GTX 10 series to coolers with two fans in the RTX 2080 Ti². The RTX 30 series presented completely new ideas, and the RTX 40 series range made those ideas even better.
There is still some disagreement about whether the Blackwell-based RTX 5090 will have a 600-watt TDP². That being said, the standard RTX 4090 cooler for NVIDIA’s Founders Edition model is well-liked and can handle the GPU²’s heat loads.
Bottom Line
Without a question, the RTX 5090 will be strong, and it will probably need a lot of power to keep running². There will be efficiency concerns with the cooler that is connected, as well as stylistic concerns for customers². It will be interesting to see how NVIDIA deals with the heat problems that come up as the company continues to push the limits of speed.
