Gigabyte 5090 Aorus Master VRM Specs

[superbluecat]

Hi all, I have not seen a tear down and high resolution circuit picture of Gigabyte 5090 Master. Though the thermal is kind of good, I have seen no information on the VRM Mosfet specs, like how many phases and current ratings?
4090 Aorus Master should have 24x50a which was not quite good compared to other flagships. Not sure what is used in 5090?

Thanks for any information.

The AORUS 5090 has the highest Boost Clocks out of all the 5090 AIB variants (2655MHz vs 2407MHz for 5090 FE) so they better use better VRMs haha.

And better thermal paste

I think this is link to the review. The most close up pic has blur texts. I am not sure if that is also MP87993.

looks like gigabyte went from having one of the worst VRMs in the 40 series to having the best one this gen.

i see panasonic aluminum polymer caps littered around the core. there is a fuse on the PCI-E slot. msi suprim, which had the best 4090, now uses capacitors from the bargain bin on their 5090.

Honestly though, does it really matter ? Not unless you're going to do extreme ln2 overclocking.

From the 5 4090s i tested, i found that "higher quality" 4090's correlated directly with more coilwhine (4090 strix being the worst in regards to coilwhine, but "best board")... hence why i chose a gigabyte card in the end.

yes. it matters A LOT. there were mountains of dead gigabyte 3000 series cards with blown caps and melted drmos. their 3000 cards were terrible. i work a shop that repairs electronics, including GPUs. we literally had 6 foot stacks of dead gigabyte cards pretty much at all times with rejected RMA stickers on them. they always blamed cracked PCBs even when there were no cracks at all and in reality it was just a terribly designed product that came to an early death. the 3080/3090 gaming, windforce, aurus, etc they were all basically the same card.

i had to tell many people that they were SOL on their $2000 GPUs because gigabyte decided to save a few dollars. this time it's msi doing the penny pinching.

you don't have to take my word for it, there are people who do what i do and have youtube channels and they talk about these same issues

I won't argue against gigabyte being low quality products, cause they obviously are - but there's a difference between cheap vrm etc and decidedly faulty ones / faulty design. I haven't seen anyone having the experiences you mentioned with gigabytes 4090 cards. That said, of the 5 4090s i tested, the gigabyte card was unquestionably the one that felt and looked the cheapest. Unfortunately other brands don't appear to care about coilwhine at all, and coilwhine is my nr1 criteria, as in i don't want it on my gpu at all, and everything else is secondary to that. Such a shame, cause the strix was amazing in every other way.

Better hope their 'revisions' dont cheap out on the components.

Yep, had the same problem with the suprim/Tuf both had annoying AF coil whine. So giga it was even though the other two models where nicer.

hey, i found these here: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...er-5090-teardown-and-pcb-pics.18998673/page-2 could you do some analyzing for what VRM setup they got?

How do you guys feel about their metal composite thermal grease? With it being conductive and there being the grooves meant to keep it all in there, do you guys think that the paste will pump out as quickly as traditional thermal paste? I wish they used PTM7950 instead...

MSI gimped the Suprim. As you said, in 4090 Suprim has the best PCB by far. Only behind of a HOF. Now Suprim is a mid tier card.

Thats cuz MSI going to introduce LIGHTNING in 5090. So prob they reserved all goodies for lightning.

sorry i only saw this now. wasn't getting notifications. i think there are more qualified people who can fully analyze this. i am afraid of getting something wrong and steering people in the wrong direction.

the only thing i can say with 100% confidence is that this is by far the best 5090 out there. even the lower tier gigabyte 5090 "Gaming OC" is better than almost everything out there. certainly better than anything MSI has to offer at any price point

 

[Bilco]

This the Aorus Master the same PCB as the Gaming OC minus a few components?? I was trying to closely look at the pictures here and the ones provided in the tech powerup review and they look identical.. I ask because I want to put a waterblock on the Gigabyte Gaming OC 5090 I have sooner rather than later.

Apparently the AORUS MASTER are the best on Blackwell! I pre-ordered an AORUS RTX 5090 MASTER XTREME WATERFORCE (AIO) but they canceled it...

not identical, but very close. the master has more filtering capacitors as well as most power phases. will that make any difference? probably not. but any block made for the master will work on the gaming model.

however, it will NOT work on the windforce model as that GPU is a reference PCB

That may very well have been for the best, considered I've been without my money and without a card for the past 86 days. Though, mine has finally shipped and should arrive either tomorrow or Tuesday. Finally.

Pretty much all 5090's regardless of make will handle 600 watts. The VRM solution is aggressive and overbuilt on all of them. Now whether running 600 W on air is wise... that will remain to be seen.

They are readily available here in Australia... for an exorbitant price, of course

Surely the fans plus the pump consume more power than fans alone and if it's all coming from the 600W connector that means less power for the GPU. No idea how much power pump and fans actually consume, of course. Only good thing for me would be that I could finally close the side of my case without temps going through the roof

I don't think this is a meaningful amount of power at all, certainly factored into TGP, but shouldn't amount to even 10 W at full speed

Did you receive it then ?

 

[Dr. Dro]

Did you receive it then ?

Yes, and thankfully everything is in order. 176 ROPs, just in time for the driver fixes. Could be worse.

How much did you get it for?
It's $2850 (without Taxes) in the US and it's still out of stock lol
