Thoughts on the Aorus 5090 xtreme waterforce wb? I actually saw it in stock last night.
I was browsing and discovered this card the previous night. It wasn't something I had encountered before. Because I plan to use it in a water cooling configuration, it's quite intriguing. Additionally, the clock speeds are superior to those of Asus and MSI. It seems the heat transfer surfaces are made of copper as well.
Has anyone received any comments about this card?

The reviewer considers this GPU a top choice for open-loop cooling and high performance.
I just put this GPU in my system today, moving up from an ASUS RTX4090 Strix OC with an EK Velocity 2 Water Block.
Both units were checked on a Black Ice Nemesis GTR 420mm Radiator (only for the GPU) with 3 Be Quiet Silent Wings Pro 4 140mm PWM fans in pull mode and a D5 Pump.
I ran several benchmarks before and after the upgrade.
