3DStor Listing Outs MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Custom Blower Card
PC hardware enthusiast, harukaze5719, has stumbled upon a very understated looking custom GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. MSI has produced a two-unit wide blower-type cooling system for the current flagship NVIDIA 40-series GPU, with Chinese PC hardware retailer—3DStor.com—being the only semi-official source of information. MSI's own web presences have not been updated to include their new GeForce RTX 4090 Aero S 24G model. The e-retailer does not provide any pricing information, but several examples (more than ten) are available to purchase via mujitech3's Ebay store. The Ningbo-based seller is charging a cool $3065 per card, plus an additional $80.00 for international shipping.
According to 3dstor's listing, the relatively compact custom design sticks to NVIDIA's recommended reference specifications (boost clock reaching 2520 MHz), but a 350 W TGP looks to be a bit iffy (coupled with the board's 16-pin 12VHPWR connector)—Tom's Hardware observed that this: "is 100 W lower when compared to regular RTX 4090 AIBs. We must assume that this is a typo and that its TGP is the same as other RTX 4090 graphics cards, which are currently the best graphics cards for gaming. Meanwhile, when the board peaks at 450 W, its blower-based cooling system likely gets extremely loud." The low-key monolithic shroud design suggests that MSI is likely targeting professional types with its Aero S 24G model, although gamers eyeing a compact build will be well catered to...if they can spare the expense.

Any one buying this for a gaming pc will probably be instant regret... Unless you like to have a noisy leaf blower in your pc while running hot as he'll.
Dual slot blower cooler for 450 watt can never end well is low temp and low noise is your goal.
Besides my rtx a2000, the last blower cooled card I had was a gtx 285 and never again will I go back to blower style coolers.
Oh and over 3000 usd for at 1600 usd card.
....Notta
.......Not doin that
.........No way, 'Jose
A dual-slot 4090 blower is gonna be loud, but I honestly doubt it's gonna be monstrously noisy.
The PC gaming community is largely a joke and hence taken advantage of and ripped off as it should be.
I see it looks to be a fully copper block inside of that shroud instead of a vapor chamber with aluminum fins.
I wonder if it's true that the workstation cards also have fully copper backplates too.
