Man, so I just read about this crazy overclocking thing with the GALAX GeForce RTX 5090 D. You won’t believe it, but these guys hit 3650 MHz! Seriously, that’s like rocket speed for GPUs. Team OGS, the folks behind this madness, are kind of legendary with their whole overclocking game.
Picture this setup: they’ve got the RTX 5090 D (of course), paired with this beast of a processor, the Intel Core i9-14900KF, and an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore motherboard. Is it just me, or does that sound like something straight out of a sci-fi novel? Anyway, Stavros from Team OGS (I’m assuming he’s the go-to guy for this stuff) mentioned they were using an XOC BIOS, letting them push power up to 2000W. Wild, right?
The GPU itself has these cool connectors, two 12V-2×6 ones, providing up to 600W each. That means a potential of 1200W, and still, there’s room for more. I mean, why stop at a sensible limit when you can keep going?
Numbers time! So they maxed out at 3650 MHz in a GPUPI benchmark, finishing at 39.434 seconds. I remember thinking, “That’s quicker than my coffee brewing in the morning.” And get this, the memory got ramped up to 36 Gbps. That’s a 28.5% hike from the stock 28 Gbps pin speed. To put it in perspective, while the stock version pulls off 1.792 TB/s bandwidth, the souped-up version hits 2.304 TB/s. Sounds like tech wizardry!
Honestly, it’s inspiring seeing teams pushing GPU boundaries like this. And here’s a thought: if this is what they can do with the 5090 D, imagine the overlocking potential when these tweaks hit the regular RTX 5090s. The sky’s the limit, or maybe not even that.
Whew, that’s a lot to take in, but kind of exciting, isn’t it? Just shows you how far some folks will go to break records and test the limits. Who knew GPUs could be so thrilling?
