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

Sure thing, let’s dive right in. So, imagine this — Inno3D’s like, “Hey, you know what? Let’s shake things up a bit.” And bam! They’ve got these snazzy GeForce RTX 5090 and 5080 cards, but here’s the kicker — they’re sliding into the world of single-slot water-cooling with their iChill Frostbite Pro lineup. It’s like the cards went on a diet or something.

Okay, picture this: their previous iChill Frostbite series? Sure, neat stuff, but kinda chunky ’cause they were dual-slot. Designed by Alphacool — I mean, who doesn’t love a good custom loop? Enthusiasts were all like, “Hey, why not single-slot?” And Inno3D was like, “You got it, folks.”

Now, get this. They’re ditching the whole acrylic waterblock scene. I guess Alphacool decided to switch things up with non-acrylic stuff. Who knew waterblocks could have flavors? Anyway, these cards now take up less space, meaning you could cram up to four GPUs in one setup. I know, crazy right? Perfect for those mad scientists going all-in on AI or workstation rigs.

Oh, oh, here’s something neat — the front’s got this carbon fiber texture, and the connectors moved to the back. Pretty slick, huh? Keeps things tight and compact, and there’s still this cool backplate deal to keep everything nice and chill. Also, word on the street is that these Pro variants come with a bump in clock speeds. But heads up, they might pinch your wallet a little more than the standard versions.

Almost forgot! Alphacool’s showcasing some cool stuff too. They’ve got this whole lineup — Apex, Core, ES — yeah, that cooler used in the iChill Frostbite Pro was front and center. It’s like a show-and-tell for water-cooling.

Inno3D’s fiddling with the waterblock stuff a bit more before it’s all out there. No dates or prices yet, but hang tight. Once they spill the beans, you’ll be the first to know. Anyway, talk about taking gaming to the next level, right?
