GALAX's next-gen HOF OC LAB graphics card for the GeForce RTX 5090 GPU has been pictured and looks as powerful as ever.
First Pictures of GALAX's GeForce RTX 5090 HOF OC LAB GPU Reveal Powerful VRM Design, Prototype With Single 16-Pin Connector
The GALAX HOF OC LAB custom models are known to feature some impressive PCB designs and overclocking capabilities. The manufacturer is now working on its next-gen RTX 5090 design that adopts a powerful PCB.
Starting with the details, the variant pictured here is not particularly the RTX 5090 but the 5090D for China. The manufacturer will be making both cards and, from what we can tell, the card will be utilizing pre-binned GB202 GPU dies and GDDR7 memory modules to ensure that whoever gets their hands on these cards can get the best possible performance and overclocks. We can't say for sure what the final clocks for the GPU would end up being, but there is a 1-Click OC knob that can be seen lying over the display outputs and that is used for switching between the BIOS profiles.
The PCB of the GALAX GeForce RTX 5090 HOF OC LAB is an all-white affair which is something that GALAX is known for, and it makes use of 38 high-quality power phases, but there's room for a total of 40 inductors. There's also a single 16-pin connector, but there's room for a second one and that could be because this pictured variant is still in a prototype stage. Voltage read points can only be seen on the sides along with five connectors for the fans and RGB.
The leaker states that the GALAX GeForce RTX 5090 HOF OC LAB will feature a brand-new bracket and backplate, so existing HOF OC LAB cooling solutions will be incompatible. In this case, the GPU cooling block and heatsink were designed by DIY Modder, Future Mach, and make use of a copper plus aluminum design. Expect the final version of this GPU to be revealed soon, and maybe we will see overclocks beyond 3.5 GHz on the 5090.
