People who’ve gotten samples are claiming that it’s basically like having a hairdryer in your system. This suggests that normal GPU positioning will interfere even more with the CPU in an air-cooled system. People might need to consider switching to AIOs, use specially designed cases, or just buy one of the water cooled 5090 partner models just to make sure. In normal configurations the extra heating is liable to affect CPU, RAM, and potentially even M.2 performance.
