Gigabyte’s AORUS RTX 5090 INFINITY is listed in Europe for an eye-watering €6,194.84. For comparison, NVIDIA’s official RTX 5090 MSRP is €2,329, 166% so this card costs about €3,866 more than the MSRP, The INFINITY is a high-end custom model with a massive cooler, 32GB of GDDR7 memory and a boost clock of up to 2,730 MHz.

Gigabyte has reportedly increased GPU prices in Japan by up to 40%, depending on the model. The price hike affects GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards and is linked to higher production costs, including more expensive memory and chip manufacturing. NVIDIA is also said to have raised prices for its board partners. Similar price increases have already been reported in South Korea, suggesting other regions could also see higher GPU prices in the coming months.

Mole CLI can reclaim tens of gigabytes at once, and V1.52 makes cleanup more precise: shared developer folders stay protected while verified old Fusion bundles can go. It stays free and open source, while Mole Mac brings the same care to a native app.

A Ryzen 9 7950X3D CPU exploded on a Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER motherboard when the computer suddenly shut down during use and failing to boot afterward. The user did not overclock the CPU and only ran DDR5 RAM at 6000 MHz on a very old BIOS from May 2023, before Gigabyte released firmware updates for Ryzen X3D processors. AMD denied the warranty claim and said the damage was due to human error, which adds to the growing number of similar AM5 CPU failures reported on different motherboard brands.
