Shunt Modded Air-Cooled RTX 5090 Achieves Top Rankings In 3DMark Tests; Power Limit Increase Helped Overclocker Achieve World-Class Scores Using Air Cooling

Computer hardware setup with thermal paste and 3DMark benchmark score of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090.

Another instance where the user was able to achieve incredibly high scores with shunt modding on the RTX 5090 but this time, the setup didn’t have any liquid cooling. Overclocker Uses 1MOhm Shunt Resistors to Unlock RTX 5090’s TDP to 1200W; Achieves 9th Spot in 3DMark Speedway and Top 20 Positions in Steel Nomad and Port Royal Using Default Cooler Shunt modding is one of the ways through which users can unlock higher power delivery for their GPUs, and we have seen previously how a shunt-modded RTX 5090 laptop could bring up to 20% higher performance. This isn’t surprising since […]
