Upcoming waterblock for 5090 Gigabyte compatibility?

[Aerith]

Hello,
I would like to purchase a 5090 from Gigabyte and put it in a waterblock from Alphacool.
I know there is currently one in production.

I want to know which 5090 from Gigabyte will be compatible with the waterblock you are about to release.

• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 GAMING OC 32G
• Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 MASTER 32G
• Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 WINDFORCE OC 32G
• Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 MASTER ICE 32G
• Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 XTREME WATERFORCE 32G
• Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5090 XTREME WATERFORCE WB 32G

I don't know the differences between all these cards (outside the obvious air/water), so a bit of clarity regarding the compatibility with your upcoming waterblock would be appreciated.
Thank you.

The first cooler to be released will be compatible with the following Gigabyte graphics cards. I can’t say at this point if or which other models will follow. So if it absolutely has to be a Gigabyte card, I’d recommend focusing on these models for now.

- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 WINDFORCE OC 32G (GV-N5090WF3OC-32GD)
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5090 GAMING OC 32G (GV-N5090GAMING OC-32GD)
- Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX™ 5090 MASTER 32G (GV-N5090AORUS M-32GD)

Thank you very much for the detailed answer.
Is there an estimate as to when the waterblock would be available?

I can’t say for sure at the moment, but I’d expect that we’ll add the cooler to the shop sometime later this month.
