Galax GeForce RTX 5090 HOF OC LAB GPU pictured with 38 power phases

Galax’s RTX 5090 HOF OC LAB GPU has space for two 16-pin GPU power connectors

Galax’s next-generation HOF OC Lab graphics card has been spotted, and it is a monster. With 38 power phases, Galax’s RTX 5090 HOF OC Lab GPU has the makings of a record-breaking overclocking GPU. In fact, the GPU pictured above is an engineering sample that has been given to an overclocker who plans to cool the graphics card with liquid nitrogen.

Based on the PCB of this graphics card, there is space for a second 16-pin GPU power connector. This means that a version of this GPU could be created that uses two 16-pin GPU power connectors. Could Galax’s finalised version of this GPU use two 12V-2×6 power inputs?

The user of this “engineering sample” needed to modify their existing Hall of Fame LN2 cooling solution and backplate to support this new graphics card. When Galax officially launches this GPU, expect to see new cooling solutions custom-made for this GPU design. Older Galax HOF series coolers and water blocks will not work.

Soon, we can expect to see how Galax’s new HOF OC LAB GPU performs. If it performs well, we will likely see some new GPU overclocking records. After all, Nvidia’s RTX 5090 is the world’s fastest GPU, and the HOF OC Lab is Galax’s attempt to make the fastest RTX 5090.
