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

Man, sometimes these tech announcements just kind of jump out at you like that strange smell in an old bookstore—unexpected, but you stop to think about it for a second. So, here’s the thing: Inno3D’s decided to up their game with the GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 graphics cards, and get this—they’re now in single-slot with this iChill Frostbite Pro cooling thingy. Yeah, sounds fancy, right?

Anyway, right now, they’ve got these beefy dual-slot versions, and they’ve been cruising along with Alphacool’s cool…coolers. (Why do they call them that? Never mind.) But folks have been chatting about wanting something sleeker. And now—out of nowhere—they’re doing just that. It feels like finding an extra fry at the bottom of the bag or something.

So yeah, these new cards are rocking a solid non-acrylic waterblock. That bit might make you go “Huh?” but it means they’re all about efficiency—or whatever. You can slap up to four of these babies into a custom loop now. Chaos ensues! Maybe that’s not how water-cooling works, but you get my drift. It’s perfect for those jumping into AI stuff or who just can’t get enough of workstation flexing. The texture’s all carbon-fibery, and the connectors moved to the back. I don’t know why that tickles my brain, but it does.

And here’s a kicker—increased clock speeds. They are jazzed up a bit over the regular versions, so expect to shell out more cash. Nothing comes cheap, especially if it’s brand new and shiny.

Oh, and shoutout to Alphacool again—those guys were also showing off other coolers like Apex and…what’s the other one—Core, yeah. They’ve got the same one that Inno3D is using. Wild stuff.

Okay, so you’re dying to know when and how, right? Well, nothing set in stone yet. It’s like waiting for the next season of your favorite show. They’re still hammering out the finer stuff, but stay tuned. I’ll make sure you know when things drop, because honestly? Who doesn’t love fresh tech buzz?
