The jet plate has been completely redesigned based on many simulations and practical tests in cooperation with board partners. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged 18+, subject to status, terms and conditions apply. Power draw is also as expected considering the TUF Gaming OC operates with a 450W power limit out of the box – of all the RTX 4090s I’ve tested, only the MSI Suprim Liquid X has increased this by default. ive come across many comments saying they switched to the gaming oc for this particular reason and the coil whine was gone.

Fans start up again when temperatures start to rise, referencing a speed curve that balances performance and acoustics for work or play. Bring a new level of TUF to your setup with the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition graphics card, giving you powerful cooling and squeezing out the most from the latest generation of NVIDIA graphics cards. Zero Frozr: Zero Frozr is the calm before the storm, keeping fans still and maintaining silence until cooling is needed. 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. The connectivity is also taken to another level with the "Direct Link" terminals that implement a conventional 4-port layout that allows serial and parallel connections from adjacent or opposing sides of the block.The Performance BIOS is of course louder, with the fans ramping to 1620rpm, producing 39dBa of noise.

ASUS is driven by passion and innovation and dedicated to creating quality products for a future smart life, designing and manufacturing products that perfectly meet the needs of today's digital home, office and person. The particles and additives in Pastel liquids can clog and permanently damage water cooling products such as radiators, pumps, coolers and hoses. Both cold plates of this GPU water block and the active backplate are CNC-machined out of high-quality, pure electrolytic copper, which is then nickel-plated, while its top is CNC-machined out of glass-like cast acrylic.

The power supply is passive for the entire power output range we tested all graphics cards in, while all CPU and system fans were disabled. When looking at the PCB, I noticed the four memory modules on the right side of the GPU didn’t seem to be completely covered by the thermal pad, as the pad imprint visibly does not extend all the way to the edge of the modules. With the cutting-edge NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, you'll be able to achieve, realistic and immersive graphics, AI-accelerated performance, game-winning responsiveness, AI-enhanced voice and video, and performance and reliability. The ASUS RTX 4090 TUF Gaming OC ships in a black box, with product branding and an image of the card visible on the front. The cooler is another vapour chamber design, with a shared baseplate that contacts both the GPU and memory modules.
