GALAX shared early versions of their best graphics card with expert overclockers recently. These Hall of Fame cards use NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090D chip made just for Chinese customers. The first test models came with only one 12V-2×6 power plug on their exposed white circuit board, though space existed for adding another plug. Many people argued about whether having just one power connection would hold back performance during super-cold liquid nitrogen cooling tests.
GALAX listened to these concerns and created a better model called the Extreme Overclock Lab Limited Edition. This upgraded version adds a second 12V-2×6 power plug. The extra connector helps deliver more electricity to the card, making it run at higher speeds without problems when pushed to extreme limits. Serious overclockers need steady power flow when they push hardware beyond normal limits.
The test results look amazing already. One expert reached 3277 MHz clock speed using liquid nitrogen cooling, scoring 17,169 points on the 3DMark Speed Way leaderboard. A different tester pushed the card almost to 3400 MHz under similar freezing conditions. These numbers prove that even the basic HOF model with just one plug can perform great. The improved XOC version should run even faster and more reliably when handling heavy workloads.
The technical design also impressed the testing experts. The circuit board features 38 separate power delivery phases placed carefully around both the main GPU chip and memory areas. This smart layout makes sure electricity flows exactly where needed during intense gaming or benchmark sessions. Every part of the card can draw proper power without creating hot spots or unstable performance during maximum overclocking attempts.
