An unverified BIOS for the Asus ROG Astral 5090D has been leaked online, showing a board power limit of 2,001 watts —almost three and a half times higher than the standard 575-watt power limit on the vanilla RTX 5090. As spotted by UNIKO's Hardware, this is an unverified BIOS file, warning its users to “exercise caution when flashing it to your graphics card, and always have a backup.” Aside from that, you probably need custom power delivery that can handle that amount of power, as even the standard connectors that come with the RTX 5090 are prone to melting while running at the standard power level.
Pumping this amount of power into your GPU will likely overwhelm its stock cooling solution, so you likely need a custom water (or liquid nitrogen) loop to ensure that your GPU doesn't cook itself. Of course, you also need a power supply that can deliver that amount of juice. Additionally, since this is an unverified BIOS, you can expect your GPU’s warranty to be automatically voided the moment you install it.
