2,001 W XOC BIOS for GALAX GeForce RTX 5090D HOF Appears

[AleksandarK]

If you remember GALAX's last overclocking triumph, it was thanks to Team OGS and their custom Extreme OC (XOC) BIOS for the RTX 5090D HOF. Now, this special XOC BIOS has surfaced online, courtesy of an eagle‑eyed post by OCNet user digitaljack3t. This firmware unlocks a default power limit of 2,001 W, which exceeds NVIDIA's official cap, and even allows you to adjust the TDP down to 400 W if you need to keep temperatures in check. It only works on the 5090D variant, so don't bother trying to flash it onto the regular 5090. That exclusivity makes sense given GALAX's decision to release just one non‑D HOF card globally, and it shows that true overclocking headroom is reserved for the 5090D platform.

Using liquid nitrogen cooling and finely tuned voltages, they pushed the core clock up to an astonishing 3,650 MHz and achieved a record time of 39.434 seconds on the GPUPI 32B benchmark. OC momentum carried over into graphics tests as well, where 3DMark Port Royal saw the GPU running at 3,570 MHz on its core and 2,250 MHz on GDDR7 memory, resulting in a score of 47,469 points. Meanwhile, the Unigine Superposition 1080p Extreme preset achieved 38,237 points, nearly 29% above the card's standard performance target. Extreme overclocking is not a dead end, and with this XOC BIOS, another overclocking lab could give it a try and potentially set a new world record.

Can average US households even power that much? Or will they have to start putting stove power plugs on power supplies?

Yes, but also yes

Last home I lived in, I ran my homelab / homeoffice entirely off of the 20A 240VAC (via PDU) previously wired to a Cadet in-wall heater. Also, helped a friend use his in-wall A/C's 15A 240VAC outlet to power his mining rack.

2000w.. maybe they should use some engineering skills to gain more performance instead of clocks lol..

I am awaiting the influx of forums requests for this vBIOS.

People are just going to see 2000W and think they'll get a whole new card with it.

I mean they probably will.... just not how they think they will...

Alot of people are request a bios like this, but they are not easy to get normaly cause they are behind a NDA...

Not like you can pull 2kW with this thing. You'll be voltage limited well before you'll hit the power target.
Assuming you can cool this thing (which isn't that hard with dice or LN2).

Finally figured out what always felt 'off' about photos of crazy OC shennanagins. They always look like they were taken in the basement of a drug house, next to the meth lab.

Galax doesnt make the GPU LOL. That is the job of nVidia LOL.

I know..

I know..

cheaper for nvidia to just throw more watt/power at it then to design something could do better performance at much lower wattage, not that it would mater to consumer nvidia would charge use more anyway, I sure AMD would do same if they could get away with it too

You won't hit 2Kwh even in the hardest OC you can throw at it.

This bios just uncorked so that you have no limitations into pushing it.

 

[overclockedamd]

Well yeah it's 2k. And this does nothing as 15 other limits will stop you first. Amazing.

Just realized that 5090 D shares the same configuration as the normal one, but it's still nerfed because of the export restrictions, but how? Its AI capabilities?

4090 D has at least clearly its shaders and other units cut down from the normal one.

It only works on the 5090D variant, so don't bother trying to flash it onto the regular 5090

At what point will a new member sign up looking for answers to their newly bricked BIOS flashed 5090?

You say that in jest, but just wait, it'll happen..

They only have to try to run Furmark2 to "test stability" of RTX 5090D with that vBIOS
You can simulate this by just undervolting 40-series or 50-series card to absolute limits (750-800mV), and still hit card's power limit first on Furmark2 test.

I'm curious. How the hell would one run a 2001Watt GPU AND the system to support it while not burning one's home to the ground??
