MSI RTX 5090 Suprim SOC Review

Following on from our stock thermal and acoustic testing, here we re-test the operating temperature of the GPU, but with noise levels normalised to 40dBa. This allows us to measure the efficiency of the overall cooling solution as varying noise levels as a result of more aggressive fan curves are no longer a factor.

As a final test, we increase fan speed until we hit 40dBa output, and then run the thermal tests again. We can clearly see that the Suprim SOC is a more efficient cooler design than the Founders Edition, with the GPU hitting 61C, while the VRAM peaked at 66C. Of course, we would expect this given the sheer size differences, but the proof is in the pudding, as they say.
