Asus Rog Astral RTX 5090 is one of the most expensive models of this GPU that someone can find on the market. And a user of this product had the misfortune to see his investment to catch fire after a gambling session on his PC. The case was reported on Reddit, and follows photos proving what happened.
“I was playing games on the PC this afternoon, and when I broke up with the games, my PC suddenly hung up while I was surfing on the internet,” says the owner of RTX 5090 burned. “When I restarted the PC, the GPU caught fire and smoke began to leave. When I took the GPU, I saw the burnt marks on both the GPU and the motherboard. ”
Some answers to the Reddit post were quick to point out the 16 -pin connection, famous for their past generation melting problems, which cause concern in the current one. However, the regions where we can see burns on RTX 5090 show that it does not seem to have been the case.
The people at Videocardz kicks a burst capacitor. Fortunately, however, we will not need to speculate for long. Steve, from Gamer Nexus, has already appeared to offer to buy the motherboard and GPU, offering the full value by the products and saving the user to have to go through the RMA process.
Problems at RTX 5090 start to appear?
Gamer Nexus chief probably did not offer to buy Rog Astral RTX 5090 damaged by kindness only in his heart. We will probably have a video on your channel soon, explaining what happened and if the problem was punctual or if you may possibly affect more GPU units.

Last week we also had news of Zotac RTX 5090 Solid models, coming with less rops than their specifications promised. It is a small difference, with minimal impact on performance, but in fact negatively affects plate performance.
It is still very difficult to imagine whether the signs will face widespread problems or if they are just punctual situations. The launch has so few units that we cannot yet do this kind of speculation. When the volume of models in people’s hands increases, we will see if the amount of problems multiplies or is in an acceptable margin.
