(PR) (Stefani Tai, MSI) Cooling can make or break your computing experience when it comes to demanding workloads. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing the latest AAA games, prompting the latest Gen AI models to generate images/videos, or rendering complex scenes with tons of geometry – you need a graphics card that can handle these workloads without hitting thermal bottlenecks.
Our RTX 50-Series SUPRIM LIQUID Graphics Cards feature the premium build quality you’ve come to expect from SUPRIM products, while also pushing the boundaries of innovation and thermal engineering with a hybrid air-liquid cooling design.
Should You Go Liquid with RTX 50-Series SUPRIM LIQUID Graphics Cards?
Unlike air cooling, liquid cooled graphics cards like the SUPRIM LIQUID products rely on a closed loop of coolant pumped through a radiator to cool your GPU. Going this route often gives you access to better thermals during demanding workloads, a slimmer form factor, and lower noise levels.
We’ll walk you through these benefits to help you decide whether opting for a Liquid Cooled graphics card makes sense for you this generation.
Benefits of Liquid AIO Cooling with SUPRIM LIQUID
Unparalleled Performance
MSI’s Hybrid Cooling Design combines the best of our Air and Liquid Technologies – allowing SI GeForce RTX 50-Series SUPRIM LIQUID Graphics Cards to sustain high clock speeds without raising noise levels. It’s engineered to unlock the top echelon of performance for NVIDIA’s Blackwell chips.
You’ll gain an edge when playing RT-enhanced games, generating hi-res images/videos using Generative AI models, or rendering complex 3D scenes or models.
Reduced Noise Levels
Unlike traditional Air Cooling, which often relies on high fan speeds to dissipate heat, the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID relies on its liquid coolant and radiator, which offer far more surface area for heat dissipation.
The synergy of our latest STORMFORCE Fans and Liquid Cooling technology enables exceptional cooling performance without excessive noise.
Better Thermals
The Patented Water Block Design, Micro-Fin Copper Base, and Advanced Performance Pump work together to keep GPU and VRAM temperatures significantly lower than those achieved with Air Cooling alone. This ensures the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID remains cool even under heavy loads, extending its longevity and maintaining peak performance.
Compact and Easy-to-Install Design
Despite its advanced cooling capabilities, the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID is surprisingly compact, with dimensions of just 280 x 148 x 51mm and 2.5 slot width. Its streamlined design can fit comfortably into a broader range of PC builds, making it an excellent choice for both seasoned builders and newcomers as long as it can accommodate a 360mm radiator.
Key Features of MSI GeForce RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID
- Superior Hybrid Cooling System SUPRIM LIQUID’s innovative Hybrid design uses both air cooling with STORMFORCE Fan and liquid cooling to effectively manage heat from the GPU and VRAM.
- Advanced Performance Pump Designed for optimal flow, automotive-grade coolant flows through the tubing to the radiator, to ensure SUPRIM LIQUID stays cool.
- Patented Water Block Design The patented water block features a special waterway that cools the GPU and VRAM, helping to lower temperatures.
- Micro-fin Copper Base The copper base features fine micro fins, which are immersed in the liquid stream to transfer heat away from the VRAM and GPU.
- 360 mm Aluminum Radiator The 360 mm radiator and STORMFORCE Fan bring cooling performance while streamlining cable management for a cleaner look.
Air vs. Liquid Cooling for Your RTX 50-Series Graphics Card: What’s Right for You?
As with many things around us, both Air and Liquid cooling offer a distinct set of advantages and disadvantages. It comes down to a mix of taste, convenience, and the rest of your PC hardware. From a performance perspective, both Air and Liquid cooling CAN deliver comparable performance – albeit at very different noise levels.
While air cooling might be the perfect pick for a certain type of workload and/or PC build, liquid cooling might be the way to go for another use case. But before you decide, it’s important to set expectations and understand the pros and cons of each type of cooling solution.
Air Cooling
Air cooling is simplicity at its best – offering a straightforward option for gamers and creators who want an affordable, high-quality graphics card. MSI has been designing premium air coolers for decades, and we’ve only improved with each passing year – delivering exceptional thermal performance alongside low noise levels.
With advanced heatsink designs and the latest STORMFORCE Fans, our air-cooled RTX 50-Series SUPRIM Graphics Cards can handle the most demanding workloads with minimal noise. It enables whisper-quiet operation without compromising on performance.
- Pros:
- Simpler setup with straightforward installation.
- More affordable than liquid cooling.
- Cons:
- Slightly bulkier compared to liquid cooling solutions..
- Can be noisier than liquid cooled options.
Liquid Cooling (AIO)
Liquid cooling gives you access to unmatched thermal performance and an ultra-quiet experience at the same time, even under heavy workloads. MSI’s SUPRIM LIQUID line takes this a step further with a patented waterblock design, enhanced VRAM cooling waterway, and sleek aesthetics, making it the perfect pick for those who want the very best, bar none.
- Pros:
- Superior thermal performance, especially when running demanding workloads for extended periods.
- Minimal noise even under full load.
- Sleek, compact design for smaller PC builds.
- Cons:
- Higher upfront cost.
- PC case must offer support (enough space) for a 360mm radiator.
- Slightly more complex installation process due to radiator installation.
Redefining GPU Thermals with the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID Graphics Card
Our hybrid air-liquid cooling design for the RTX 5090 SUPRIM LIQUID features a blend of our latest STORMFORCE Fans, designed to enhance airflow with minimal noise, and a top-of-the-line closed loop cooling system with automotive-grade coolant. It is built to handle the most demanding workloads for extended periods of time without running into thermal bottlenecks.
Of course, if you decide that air cooling is a better option for you – you can pick from a broad range of air-cooled MSI RTX 50-series graphics cards – including some well-known names like the SUPRIM, GAMING TRIO, and VENTUS, as well as a brand-new line of graphics cards called VANGUARD.
