Hey, I’ve had two Gigabyte Xtreme Waterforce RTX 5090 units, and the build quality on both was disappointing — in horizontal position, the shroud with the AORUS logo would fall off at times. Is Gigabyte’s quality control really that bad? On the plus side, coil whine was minimal. By contrast, the MSI SUPRIM Liquid has excellent build quality, great temperatures, and no thermal gel, but the coil whine was terrible. So I’m torn: should I try the SUPRIM Liquid again and hope for minimal coil whine this time, or go for the Xtreme Waterforce despite the build issues? Any advice on which of these two to pick?
