- The Chinese firm converts the RTX 5090 cards into two -slot ia accelerators using custom PCBs
- Factory automation in China converts the NVIDIA Games GPU to data center hardware
- Export restrictions are omitted as the RTX 5090 tables are reworked in AI modules ready for rack
A video that circulates in Bilibili shows how Chinese entrepreneurial technicians are turning GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards into high efficiency AI accelerators, avoiding export restrictions in the process.
Instead of using retail GPUs as they are, a local manufacturer is eliminating the chips and GB202 memory modules of the game tables.
Then, the components are transferred to personalized PCBs of two slots and combined with blowing style cooling, optimized for server rack environments.
Large -scale production
The operation seems to be running at the factory level. The Robotic Weapons Extraction GPU modules, the selection systems and the place are re -assembled in redesigned tables, and the automated welding equipment ends electrical work, before visual inspection systems confirm alignment and construction quality.
The process is fast, repeatable and efficient, far beyond what could be expected from a small workshop, but what makes this company even more notable is the large volume of the RTX 5090 cards seen in the video, despite the restrictions on its export to China.
Nvidia has not officially launched the 5090D variant, designed to comply with US sanctions and, yet, the shelves of the RTX 5090 full power units can be seen in modernization.
Three channel cooling game models are too large for server chassis, and their power connectors are often placed awkwardly for the use of rack, so the cards are physically modified to adapt to the limitations of the data center.
Redesigned fan cards change energy entry to the end of the PCB tail, simplifying cable routing and avoiding the risk of overheating.
From the hardware point of view, the GPUs work identically.
When changing them to Slimline, tables compatible with the server, Chinese companies are essentially creating their own high -end AI accelerators.
If the hardware for players can be so easily adapted for AI research and models training, then questions about the effectiveness of current export controls should surely be done.
It is clear from the scale of the operation in the video that there is a strong demand for ia accelerators from reused RTX 5090 cards.
For AI developers in China, it means that they can obtain the computer power they need without having to depend on official supply channels.
