Me hearties, Nvidia be plannin' a grand cooler for thar RTX 5090 so ye needn't fret 'bout power consumption, arrr!

Arr, me hearties! Thee latest scrolls be claimin' to reveal grand images of Nvidia Blackwell contraptions adorned with monstrous chillers. Aye, 'tis a sight to behold! Methinks these beastly coolers will keep our ship runnin' smooth as a mermaid's tail in a storm. Arrr!
New photos have surfaced showing what could be Nvidia RTX 5000 prototype designs with larger coolers than current-gen Lovelace graphics cards. Nvidia is experimenting with triple and quad-slot coolers for its upcoming Blackwell RTX 50 series, potentially making them the thickest and largest Founders Edition cards. The company is testing coolers for total power usage of 600W, with plans ranging from 250W to 600W for different models. However, it's uncertain if Nvidia will implement these coolers in the final product or if they will be abandoned. The possibility of a dramatic jump to 600W remains unclear, but Nvidia's current power connector can handle it. There are concerns about melting and faulty adapters with the RTX 4090, so Nvidia may prioritize a capable cooling solution with lower wattage to avoid issues.Rumors of larger graphics cards with powerful cooling systems aren't new, with the XFX RX 7900 XTX Phoenix Nirvana requiring 850W of system power. Nvidia and AMD both seem to be experimenting with advanced cooling solutions, but details and confirmations are still pending. The potential for these new GPUs to be hefty pieces of hardware remains, with both companies pushing the boundaries of power and cooling for their next-gen cards.
