Cooler Master Unveils Whisper-Quiet PSU, Accidentally Confirms GeForce RTX 5090?
Cooler Master has launched its X Silent Edge Platinum power supply unit (PSU), turning heads with its unique features: a completely silent, fanless design, and intriguing compatibility with the yet-to-be-released GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card.
Power in Silence
The 850-watt PSU boasts an 80+ Platinum certification for exceptional efficiency. Its modular design allows for clean builds with detachable cables. Built to the ATX 3.1 standard, the X Silent Edge Platinum features a 12V-2X6 power connector, designed for graphics cards with power consumption up to 450W. Intriguingly, the compatibility list explicitly mentions the unannounced GeForce RTX 5090. The PSU is set to hit Amazon on August 13th, priced at $488.
RTX 5090: Confirmed or Accidental Slip?
This is the first official mention of the GeForce RTX 5090, previously only a subject of rumors and speculation. Unconfirmed reports suggest that the GPU will be based on NVIDIA's GB202 Blackwell architecture, boasting 24GB of GDDR7 memory with a 448-bit bus. Its release could coincide with the RTX 5080, potentially in early 2025.
While Cooler Master's listing might be a simple oversight, it has sparked considerable excitement among PC enthusiasts awaiting NVIDIA's next-generation graphics cards.
