NVIDIA testing 250W to 600W coolers for next-gen GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs

NVIDIA is reportedly testing coolers for its next-generation GeForce RTX 50 GPU series: 250W to 600W, ready for next-gen Blackwell gaming GPU beasts. Continue reading at TweakTown >

NVIDIA is reportedly experimenting with a huge triple-fan, quad-slot, 600W-capable cooling solution for its upcoming next-generation GeForce RTX 50 series GPUs. In a new report from Benchlife, the outlet explains: "According to information from a familiar cooling module manufacturer, NVIDIA has already conducted relevant tests and verification on cooling modules for the Blackwell GPU architecture's GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, evidently preparing for the launch of the GeForce RTX 50. Although there's no specific timeline, currently, about 4 plans are underway, with power ranging from 250W to 600W".

We did hear all the way back in late 2022 that NVIDIA had prototype versions of the GeForce RTX 4090 -- or RTX 4090 Ti or RTX 4090 SUPER -- with a gigantic triple-fan, quad-slot, 600W cooler. Fast-forward two years, and we're hearing the same thing leading up to the launch of the RTX 50 series. NVIDIA's own in-house GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Edition graphics card supports 600W of power, something you can max out by tweaking your BIOS.



NVIDIA's current-gen GeForce RTX 40 series "Ada Lovelace" GPUs feature TDPs ranging between 115W and 450W on the desktop, while maximum TGP spans between 130W and 600W..
