Double Flow Through, a new cooler design for the GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition graphics card that NVIDIA has described as being “revolutionary” and “unbelievable,” measuring only 304 mm long x 137 mm high x 2-slot wide, will deliver much quieter cooling performance versus older or traditional designs that include two-slot dual axial and two-slot flow through designs at higher power draws, according to a new SPL chart that NVIDIA has shared as part of an official slide deck for its latest GPUs for gamers and creators.
“It can even dissipate 600 watts more quietly than the 400 watts with the old cooler and is hardly louder than the old cooler with 300 watts – which is already a huge difference,” one publication noted in its coverage. “With 400 watts, the new cooler should also be slightly quieter than the old derivative with only 200 watts.”
“Each aspect of the new GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition has been purposefully designed to increase cooling capacity and capabilities by leveraging new design innovations, Liquid Metal thermal interface material (TIM), and a unique 3-piece PCB,” NVIDIA says of the GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition.
“Our limited NVIDIA GeForce RTX Founders Edition graphics cards are the pinnacle of design, built with premium materials, boasting striking, unique designs, and cooling innovations.”
