ASUS Refines ROG Matrix RTX 5090 Cooling With New Liquid Metal Application

ASUS reportedly updated the liquid metal and thermal paste application on the ROG Matrix RTX 5090 Limited Edition to address a cooling-related issue, with overclocker Der8auer observing a new, more controlled layout that keeps liquid metal on the IHS while using thermal paste barriers. Early testing indicates the revised card runs cooler under heavy load (roughly 70–72°C) at higher power draw, suggesting a modest thermal improvement over earlier samples.
