Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5050 GAMING OC: Blackwell with WINDFORCE Cooling

The RTX 5050 GAMING OC (GV-N5050GAMING OC-8GD) runs NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU, with 2,560 CUDA cores and 421 AI TOPS, at a factory 2632 MHz (reference 2572 MHz). Its 8 GB GDDR6 runs at 20 Gbps on a 128-bit bus. GIGABYTE's WINDFORCE cooler pairs three Hawk fans with server-grade thermal gel, a copper plate and composite copper heat pipes. It takes one 8-pin connector with a 550 W PSU recommended.

Hawk Fans with Alternate Spinning

Three Hawk fans spin in alternating directions to cut turbulence between them, and 3D active fans stop when the load is light.

THERMAL GEL

Thermal Gel, Copper Plate and Heat Pipes

Server-grade thermal conductive gel transfers heat from the GPU and memory into a copper plate and composite copper heat pipes, which spread it along the heatsink seen from this edge.

REINFORCED STRUCTURE

Reinforced Backplate and Screen Cooling

The reinforced backplate is fastened to the I/O bracket for rigidity, and the open screen-cooling section at its end lets air pass straight through the heatsink.
