Thanks to powerful Blackwell architecture and GPU cores, the RTX 5090 is undoubtedly one of the high-performing GPUs on the market. However, the flip side of this performance is the power requirement, making it one of the most power-hungry GPUs ever made. Needless to say, RTX 5090 generates a lot of heat, and if this heat remains unaddressed, it can lead to a reduction in clock speed, hurting the performance of this high-end NVIDIA GPU. Though GeForce RTX 5090 comes with an onboard cooling mechanism that may be a double or triple-slot solution, you must give serious consideration to which external cooling mechanism best serves your interest. In this regard, buyers have to decide between air-cooled RTX 5090 or liquid-cooled RTX 5090.
Both air and liquid-cooling solutions have pros and cons.
