Got it, here we go!

Okay, so here’s something that caught my eye — Inno3D’s rolling out these new GeForce RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 graphics cards, right? But wait for it: they’re offering them in these single-slot, iChill Frostbite Pro water-cooled versions. Yep, you heard me. Single-slot.
Okay, let me backtrack. Their iChill Frostbite thingies were usually dual-slot, thanks to Alphacool’s design magic. Suddenly, boom, new single-slot variants under some Pro series banner. I don’t know, it feels like they just listened to a bunch of hardcore fans yelling for more. So, here we are.
Now, here’s the kicker. They’ve done away with the acrylic blocks. Instead, you’ve got these sleek non-acrylic worked-over ones still by Alphacool, squashed into a single slot. Wild, right? Now you can stack up to four of these bad boys into your custom loop setup. Perfect for AI nerds or workstation aficionados who don’t want to skimp on the graphics grind.
Picture this – the front rocking carbon fiber vibes and connectors sneakily moved to the back. Plus, you’ve got the same snazzy custom PCB, keeping things minimalistic with four display outputs. And a backplate to cool off the flip side goodies. Oh, and tiny intel straight from Inno3D themselves, whispering to us about faster clock speeds on these RTX champs. Prices are going up, though, surprise surprise.
But wait, there’s more! Alphacool decided to show off a line-up of their coolers — Apex, Core, ES, all having their moment. And yeah, the cooler used in the iChill Frostbite Pro was also on display. Just putting it out there.
No news on the exact prices or when you can get your hands on them, though. Inno3D’s still tinkering with those waterblocks, apparently. I’ll keep my ears to the ground for any further juicy goss.

There it is, all wrapped up like a late-night thought that decided to linger longer than it should.
