The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, green team’s new flagship GPU for gamers based on the next-generation “Blackwell” architecture, will feature the densest memory layout seen yet in a modern, high-performance graphics card, according to new rumors that were shared online today. The alleged details, which stem from China’s Chiphell forums, also allude to 16 GDDR7 memory modules and a brand-new PCB that, while initially described as being a 3-layer design, actually comprise a main PCB along with an IO Rigid Board and other components, per updates from another recurring leaker.
The translated word from panzerlied:
As for how the cooler configurations might look:
A clarification from @kopite7kimi:
So the Main Board and IO ridge board are like the sandwich's bread. Is the heatsink in the middle of them? Just like 9800GX2

From a report:
…we should remember that NVIDIA is known for making several prototypes and custom PCBs during its initial verification and testing phase for new GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU prototype is one such cooler which gave us a first look at an extremely unique PCB and cooling design that never made its way to the market…
