HKEPC published an X post on October 23, 2026, describing GeForce RTX 5090 cards being converted for AI-server use. In HKEPC’s account, workers remove the graphics processor (GPU) and video memory (VRAM) from the original board, transfer them to a custom printed circuit board (PCB), and fit the new assembly with a dual-slot blower cooler. HKEPC also describes testing before the cards are packed.
Why rebuild the board and cooler?
HKEPC describes the two-slot blower arrangement as a way to fit cards more densely in AI servers and direct hot air toward the rear. The reported redesign changes the card’s board and cooling assembly, rather than simply placing the original gaming card into a server.
For a separate U.S. retail snapshot, NeoTeo previously tracked RTX 5090 listings in September 2026.
What testing does HKEPC describe?
HKEPC says the converted cards were tested on open benches with graphics workloads and stability checks before packing.
