A new factory tour video reveals how Chinese firm CT converts retail RTX 5090 gaming GPUs into dual-slot blower-style cards for AI servers. Using full-power chips, industrial reassembly, and 24-hour stress tests, these server-grade 5090s are anything but "modded."

So..... got a link for that company? They got a product page or something?

Perhaps they can swap out those GDDR chips with the bigger variants while it at?

Or also add a 2nd set of chips via a clamshell conversion?

This is exactly why the only available 5090's are at up to 50% markups. The AIBs are fully complicit in somehow getting them into China to be repurposed for Ai. Still don't understand why Nvidia just doesn't triple 5090FE production and cut the allocation to these scummy AIBs.

They definitively do that.
Linus Tech Tips got a 4090 modified with 48GB and custom PCB and BIOS for AI testing.

Not quite the price I was thinking of, though.

RTX 5090 with 32GB is €2229 at Geizhals, including taxes and continues to get cheaper. That's getting close to half price of one of these modified 4090s.
