“So, I grabbed the 5090 from the Murderbox PC because at the time I borrowed it, labs hadn't really delved into desktop liquid cooling, but now I can see they actually do a fair bit of it.”

“Even if you're using it for CAD and CAM, which I am using my 5090s for now because of the manufacturing stuff, I can see where they would become very handy.”
