MSI Statement on False Rumor About MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G SUPRIM SOC
We had the unpleasant surprise of learning on 03/06/2025, through an article on Kitguru website Link, that a Dutch retailer—UW GAME SPECIALIST—allegedly informed a customer that they were unable to fulfill their order because 5 GeForce RTX 5090 32G Suprim SOC from our brand had supposedly been recalled due to a fire hazard.
With this statement, we would like to make it clear that these allegations are absolutely false, that no recall program is in progress, and that our products present no such risk.
Furthermore, we would like to specify that this retailer is not one of MSI's partners, and we do not work with them.
We reserve the right to initiate legal proceedings against those responsible for these highly defamatory allegations, which harm our brand's reputation, as well as against anyone contributing to their dissemination.
We recommend you to purchase from one of our authorized resellers as listed below.

MSI: Has really gone bad lately.
Risk is certain, not just high!
MSI, MSI
It will burn without why!
(Maybe?) Unrelated, but I noticed on Microcenter's website, MSI card prices have shifted, downwards believe it or not!
...I don't know. That is just informed speculation. If there was any company that would appear the next to fall (in at least some respects) I've always considered them to be the #1 candidate.
I believe Tom [MLID] has alluded to this as well (in not so many words, for he a sometimes kinder chap than myself; I prefer not to mince words even if it appears less affable).
This has been somewhat reflected in their pricing, which for AMD products (when they made them) were often a very good deal. I attributed this to likely not moving enough volume.Accurate. I don't even think they know this yet. They might, and why they're acting out like this.They were a company that at some point just stopped operation, likely as things became more complex. This is not that. MSI is very much in the eVGA situation IMO.See response to first quote.
Can't take away something that company doesn't have. Unless we talk bad reputation. Then yes, they can always dig deeper that hole.
