TecLab modified a Galax RTX 5090 D HOF OC LAB XOC by bypassing its 16-pin power connectors entirely, soldering wires straight to the PCB's power traces and replacing the stock cooling with an industrial water cooler. Power meter readings suggested the card was drawing roughly 600W, well within the card's 2,000W custom BIOS limit, though final temperatures were not disclosed. The team clarified the stunt was a sarcastic jab at Nvidia rather than a genuine repair method for regular users.

A Reddit user who preordered Asus's ROG 20th Anniversary Component Bundle for $10,350 says the order was cancelled and returned without any delivery attempt or explanation. Friends who ordered the same bundle were later charged and received their packages, but this buyer was left without the product and now faces reordering at $10,849.96, $500 more than the original price. Asus reportedly told the customer the case is still under review with no firm resolution timeline.

HP has cut $2,200 off its Omen Max 45L gaming desktop, dropping the price to $4,799.99 for a complete system built around an RTX 5090 GPU, 64GB of DDR5 RAM, a 2TB SSD, and an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K processor. That price is roughly $30 less than what the RTX 5090 graphics card alone currently costs at retail, making the entire prebuilt machine effectively cheaper than one of its components.
