A place for everything NVIDIA, come talk about news, drivers, rumors, GPUs, the industry, show-off your build and more. A 10mm thick copper cold plate and a full-sized backplate water block are used for all Vector² GPU Active Backplate cooling enclosures. In fact, the fans spin so slowly using the Quiet BIOS that we actually recorded the lowest noise reading of any RTX 4090 I have tested so far.

As for the PCB, we can see ASUS is using an 18-phase VRM for the GPU, using 70Amp Infineon TDA21570 MOSFETs, while the memory VRM is 4-phase, this time using 50A Vishay SIC639 MOSFETs. The implemented 3rd-generation Vector cooling engine uses a novel 3D machined acrylic insert to improve flow distribution and thermal performance. While it doesn’t use the same milled design as its Strix sibling, the eight heatpipes — five 8mm and three 6mm — offer a huge leap in cooling potential, with 35% more contact area compared to the TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 3090.Earnings are accessible through your PayPal or WeChat account, and QuantumCloud also supports multiple exchange methods, including Steam.

This means you don't have to completely disassemble the card to change a faulty fan, for instance, which is a consumer-friendly move in my opinion. Offering the ultimate platform for both gamers and creators, the ASUS TUF Gaming 4090 OC Edition is powered by the GeForce RTX 40 series. Great care was taken to achieve a symmetrical flow domain by utilizing an internal bridge to secondary components.This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall. Experience ultra-high performance gaming, incredibly detailed virtual worlds with ray tracing, unprecedented productivity, and new ways to create. The vent allows hot air to escape towards chassis exhaust fans instead of being recycled back into the GPU cooler. The cooler is another vapour chamber design, with a shared baseplate that contacts both the GPU and memory modules. Component and trace layouts have been optimized onto a short PCB to reduce power losses and let heat escape through a massive backplate vent.

At the end of the day though, the results are still well within safe limits, so it's certainly not a major concern, but perhaps something for ASUS to improve upon in a future revision.

For reference, I play on a 4k 144 mhz monitor I tested all games in max details and if raytracing was available set to max and if dlss available, set to quality. If you have a non-BNPL balance, you will still need to make at least your minimum payment as shown on your statement.

A vapor chamber and generously sized heatsink combo efficiently soak up heat from the GeForce RTX 4090 GPU so that it can be whisked away by the three Axial-tech fans. Like its Strix brethren, though, you can choose between performance and quiet modes with the onboard Dual BIOS switch, or adjust the card’s performance yourself through our new GPU Tweak III software.The good news for overclocking enthusiasts is that the TUF Gaming does allow you to increase the power limit all the way up to 600W, or a 33% increase using MSI Afterburner.
