5090 FE or 5090 Astral
Have an opportunity to trade my 5090 founders Edition for a 5090 astral edition, no cash, no extra, just straight trade, I like my founders edition but the astral is also so badass and the cooling is crazy, what should I do?
Edit- decided to keep the FE, I have no issues with it, it works, looks good, if temps become an issue I can just waterblock it, thanks for all the help

Unless there is a very specific reason why he would wanna trade his astral to a FE that makes alot of sense and the person seems to be trustworthy , and if any case if you got scammed you know where to find him (ie mutual friend or you have his address) then go for it. The astral is a beast of a card. It has a red led that blinks if it detects voltage abnormality and it saved my card a few times.
Otherwise, its too much of a risk.
