Asus has announced a new flagship RTX 4090 graphics card that uses an all-in-one liquid cooling system combined with a liquid metal thermal interface. Dubbed the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090, Asus has clearly stated that its advanced cooler combined with a highly efficient thermal interface guarantees the highest possible boost clocks, producing the fastest gaming graphics card on the market. He said he has set goals.
Adequate power delivery and efficient cooling have become the primary ways to enable consistently high CPU and GPU performance these days, so when designing the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090, the company focused on advanced voltage We used a proprietary printed circuit board (PCB) with a tuning module (VRM). ). Cooling, on the other hand, is provided by an all-in-one liquid cooling system that draws heat not only from the GPU, but also from the memory and his VRMs, exhausting it via the included “extra-thick” 360 mm radiator.
But Asus says the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 has a secret ingredient that its rivals don’t. It is a liquid metal thermal interface material (TIM) that ensures excellent heat transfer from hot components to the cooling system.
Asus hasn’t disclosed what kind of liquid metal TIM it uses in its graphics cards (some laptops use ThermalGrizzly’s Conductonaut Extreme). Such thermal interfaces are typically made of gallium or gallium alloys, which are liquid at or near room temperature and have excellent performance. Conductor of heat.
However, using liquid metal thermal interfaces also presents some risks and challenges. First, they are conductive and can cause short circuits if the material is spilled or not properly contained. Second, these materials can be corrosive to certain metals such as aluminum. Third, liquid metal application can be more complicated than with other types of thermal paste, requiring careful handling and precision.
Asus has used liquid metal TIMs in its laptops for years, so using liquid metal TIMs in graphics cards doesn’t seem like a big deal to the company.

ASUS hasn’t revealed the full specs of the ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 at the moment, but they certainly want this graphics card to be the fastest in the world. Whether or not this product will truly be the fastest out-of-the-box remains to be seen, but it offers some notable overclocking potential when compared to his regular GeForce RTX 4090 graphics board with a regular cooler I have no doubt you will.
The Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 will be a limited edition card that will be available in Q3.
