Questions about RTX 5090 FE vertical mount, LM and vapor chamber?
Hey there friends! 👋
Any thoughts on using an RTX 5090 with a vertical mount for the LM and vapor chamber? Could it cause issues over time? Will liquid flow down or drip eventually? Does this setup affect the vapor chamber's performance?
I’m curious about your experience.
Thanks for sharing your insights! 🙇🏻♂️
P.S.: Here’s what I have to say:
My PC specs and thermal readings are listed below.
Thermal data includes the 12V2x6 connector PSU side, cable, VGA side, and motherboard airflow impact. I’ve been running around 575W for about an hour in the photos.

The video featuring the RTX 5090 FE by Gamers Nexus discussed its mounting options. It was mentioned that it works well both vertically and horizontally, but mounting it horizontally would eliminate the need for the riser cable, which often fails, and also prevent warm air from being directed onto the motherboard.
Thank you for your feedback. I've noticed that video is just one perspective, so I don't rely heavily on it. Sony mentioned the PS5 will perform well in its current state, but there were leaks indicating performance issues later. Asus claimed the LM would work fine with their VGAs' GPU, though it failed within a year. I understand FE won't leak, but LM might not hold up as well. Overall, I've stopped trusting FE and prefer MSi for its size and design.
