Inno3D Enhances RTX 50 Liquid-Cooled Series with RTX 5090 & RTX 5080 iChill Frostbite Pro Models, Featuring Single-Slot Designs

Okay, here goes nothing. So, Inno3D decided, out of the blue or maybe from the echo chamber of tech enthusiasts—who knows—to spill out their GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 cards, now wrapped in this, uh, lean single-slot iChill Frostbite Pro skin. Liquid-cooled, mind you. I’m kinda wondering if they did it just because people kept asking, or maybe they just felt like making some noise. Anyway, what’s up with these Alphacool folks? They’re the brains behind the whole cooling thing, right? Yeah, so these new Frostbite Pros, they’re kinda sleek.

Right, right. So, what’s basically happening is that now these cards have a sort of coziness to them—imagine snuggling, but with tech—allowing up to four of these bad boys to cuddle up in a custom-loop jam. That’s if you’re into making your machine a powerhouse for AI or workstations. I imagine it’s like giving your computer a shot of adrenaline. Not to mention it’s all happening without bulldozing down your graphics oomph. Go figure.

A quick tangent: The front bit. It’s got this carbon fiber get-up—very fancy-sounding but does it really make a difference? No clue. Also, the business end with the connectors is now chilling at the back. Neat, right? Or at least they think so. Anyway, there’s this whole sleek vibe with a custom backplate helping to keep things chill on the reverse side of the card.

Oh, and speaking of tech people, had a chit-chat with Inno3D. They dropped a hint these Pro series will clock a bit faster—you know, speed demons—and cost a tad more too. Surprise, surprise.

Back to Alphacool for a sec—apparently, they’ve been busy showing off parts and pieces like Apex and Core coolers. The identical cooler for the Frostbite Pro got some limelight there too. While Inno3D’s still tweaking their latest masterpiece, guessing the tag price and when these will hit the shelves is anyone’s game. But hey, stay tuned, and we’ll see where this ride takes us.

Yeah, that’s about it for now.
