I'm getting PS4 flashbacks - Nvidia's RTX 5090 FE reportedly uses 600W of power and "sounds like a jet engine" (www.techradar.com)

600W is going require some serious cooling and is going to generate a lot of noise. I am not at all surprised by these requirements.

Guess it's time to update those old Fermi George Foreman grill memes.

The CPU is maybe another couple hundred watts, too. I mean, it's not just your case that's going to need cooling. At some point, the room is going to start needing some kind of ventillation or something when the thing is spooled up.

With a rig like that, who needs heating during the winter?

I'll just point a box fan at it, that should do it!
