World’s first graphics card with liquid metal on the GPU and the highest boost speeds for a GeForce RTX 4090 (Click here for More Graphics Card) card possible thanks to excellent ROG liquid cooling
ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) has once again raised the bar in the world of gaming with the announcement of the revolutionary ROG Matrix GeForce RTX™ 4090. This graphics card not only offers the highest out-of-the-box boost clocks of any RTX 4090 card, but it also introduces a groundbreaking feature: liquid metal thermal compound. With an array of innovative technologies and design elements, the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 sets a new standard for performance and cooling in the gaming industry.
The Power of Liquid Metal
- Liquid metal thermal compound is a game-changer when it comes to heat dissipation. Compared to traditional thermal pastes, liquid metal significantly reduces temperatures, allowing for better overall performance. However, liquid metal comes with a challenge—it is electrically conductive. To overcome this obstacle, ASUS has implemented an exclusive production process that ensures safe and reliable usage of liquid metal on the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090.
- By applying a UV resin and two additional protective layers between the GPU die and the main PCB, ASUS has eliminated the risk of leakage and short circuits. This breakthrough development allows gamers to experience the exceptional thermal transfer capabilities of liquid metal without any concerns. ASUS’s expertise in liquid metal, honed through years of experience in the ROG laptop division, has paved the way for its application in the graphics card arena, and the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 proudly leads the charge.
Keeping Temperatures Low with Advanced Cooling Solutions
While liquid metal plays a vital role in temperature management, the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 employs a comprehensive cooling solution to ensure optimal performance and low noise levels. A custom-engineered, extra-thick 360 mm radiator, complemented by three daisy-chainable ROG MF-12S ARGB fans, forms the backbone of this cooling system. The fans are conveniently connected using a magnetic connector, simplifying installation and cable management. Additionally, the synchronized ARGB lighting effects create a visually stunning experience for gamers.
Unlike most AIO liquid-cooled GPUs, which require an auxiliary fan, the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090’s full-coverage cold plate eliminates the need for an additional cooling component. This innovative design allows the radiator to efficiently cool the entire card, thanks to direct contact with all heat-producing components on the PCB. To maximize cooling efficiency, ASUS has incorporated a more powerful pump that ensures optimal coolant flow. As a result, the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 maintains peak performance even under demanding conditions.
Durability
The ROG Matrix RTX 4090 showcases a stunning and modern design, with its GPU frame and housing crafted entirely from metal. Indirect ASUS Aura Lighting adds a captivating touch to the card’s aesthetics. An aluminum frame provides protection to the main cold plate, circuit board, and pump shroud, creating a distinctive ‘hollow’ chamber design. Bold ROG branding, along with lightbars in the central cavity and across the top of the card, further enhances its visual appeal. A stainless steel backplate ensures structural integrity, whether the card is mounted traditionally or vertically for a showcase presentation. With a single 12VHPWR cable and hidden fan power cables, cable management becomes effortless, allowing gamers to focus on their gaming experience.
Advanced Software Features
The ROG Matrix RTX 4090 not only excels in hardware but also offers an array of custom-built software features. ASUS goes beyond the standard temperature sensors on the GPU die and memory by incorporating additional sensors across the VRMs, chokes, and power input circuitry. This wealth of data feeds into the GPU Tweak III app’s Thermal Map feature, providing real-time, detailed thermal performance analysis. The Power Detector+ feature enables the card to detect any anomalies in the power pins, providing immediate alerts if reseating the power cable is necessary. Furthermore, the Mileage feature tracks card usage at different power levels, allowing users to monitor their gaming sessions and loads.
The flagship status of the ROG Matrix RTX 4090 is reflected in its Dual BIOS switch, enabling seamless switching between Quiet and Performance modes. Manufactured with the ASUS Auto Extreme process, the entire circuit board is assembled in a single, automated pass, reducing costs and minimizing the need for harsh cleaning chemicals. The ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 is built with the highest quality components, guaranteeing peak performance throughout its lifespan.
The ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 is a testament to ASUS ROG’s commitment to pushing boundaries and delivering unrivaled gaming experiences. With liquid metal thermal compound, advanced cooling solutions, captivating design, and cutting-edge software features, this graphics card sets a new standard in performance and innovation. Embrace the pinnacle of gaming power and unleash your gaming potential with the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090.
