I think this is definitely the most quiet and thermal effective 5090 out there to be honest is wonderful.

This is the best graphics card I have ever owned. Installation and setup was quick and the device works flawlessly. It does take up three slots, but I am not using those anyway. I simply love it.

GPU did the job, but for $1k over MSRP you would think it would be able to push a lot more than stock and it couldn’t handle much OC/UV I ended up swapping for an Auros Ice which was way better for about the same price.

Pros:
-very cool thermals
-one of the 'fastest' 5090 GPU you can buy
Cons:
-Gigabyte used thermal gel instead of traditional thermal pads
-the entire innards of the GPU is caked with thermal gel
-if you mount this vertically, you risk potential thermal gel leak (Gigabyte said this is no longer the case with later batches, but it actually happened to my copy! And this was one of the 'latest' batches!)
Overall: I'd try other brands until Gigabyte has proven that using this "thermal gel" has no drawbacks. This card hasn't even been out for a year and there are already problems

I was so happy to order this open box, but only to realize it does not work at all. Worse best buy store refuse to accept store return and instead asked me to ship it back to best buy and wait 30 days for refund. Do yourself a favor, do not buy rtx 5090 open box from BestBuy. They don't even test the returns so some criminals are taking advantage of bestbuy by removing critical cpu and ram from these cards and returning just the bare bone card (rumor I heard). You can also check eBay since there are people selling these cards that's missing CPU and ram as well. I always loved best buy but after this time, no more open boxes for me. Best buy needs to do a full test of all open box rtx 5090 currently on inventory, so they can ensure other customers do not receive an empty shell. Good luck!
