RTX 5090 connector melting resurfaces, this time linked to extreme overclocking and a heavily modified high-power setup.

The experimental 2500W XOC BIOS for the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 LIGHTNING Z caused the GPU die to crack like a mirror from thermal shock.

Unveiled by X leaker @slovak_killer, the BIOS is labelled ASTRAL RTX 5090 2000W XOC V2, so it is presumably designed originally for the Asus ROG Astral RTX 5090—a high-end version of an already ...

MSI’s RTX 5090 Lightning Z prototype GPU reportedly cracked during an extreme LN2 overclocking test, underscoring the risks of high voltage.

AMD has published a short extreme-overclocking clip showing a Radeon RX 9060 XT reaching a peak frequency of 4.769 GHz. The session was carried out at AMD with two experienced overclockers, Bill ...

MSI’s GeForce RTX 5090 Lightning Z arrived at CES 2026 with a very specific kind of hype: not the usual factory-overclock ...

AMD has set a new world record for GPU overclocking with its budget Radeon RX 9060 XT. Until now, there was only one official 4.0GHz-plus discrete GPU overclocking record on the books, Splave’s ...

The RX 9060 XT has a standard boost clock of 3.13GHz, so the overclockers had to take it quite far to break the existing record of 4.02GHz on a discrete GPU. In the video, Splave said he expected them ...

Trying to squeeze every last bit of performance out of high-end GPUs is nothing new. But in the case of the RTX 5090, one ambitious modding attempt ended in a very expensive lesson. In a recent ...

Overclockers are arguably known for their lack of restraint, but the latest RTX 5090 experiment feels like a particularly vivid illustration of that point: BIOS files from MSI's absurdly overbuilt RTX ...

MSI's RTX 5090 Lightning Z is a limited-run halo product built without practical constraints. We test its thermals, power draw, and performance to see what's possible ...

The person in question is Adam Lee, better known by his YouTube channel name of mryeester, and his latest endeavour sounds simple in principle but is actually quite hard to do: powering on a PC using ...
