NVIDIA RTX 5090 does not face a risk of “fire risk” according to MSI; AIB will take measures against the retailer who ignites the rumor
It was a bit of a shock when we pointed out a retailer in the Netherlands yesterday saying that Nvidia is Recalling the GeForce RTX 5090s due to a “fire risk” riskCiting that a MSI Suprim variant has been recalled, according to the retailer. The news made the headlines everywhere, and he could have panicked MSI, which was fast enough to publish a press release to approach the rumor, and here is what they had to say:
We had the unpleasant surprise to learn on 06/03/2025, via an article on the Kitguru website, only a Dutch retailer –UW game specialist—Le informed a customer that he was unable to comply with his order because 5 GeForce RTX 5090 32G SOC SOC of our brand would have been recalled due to a risk of fire.
With this declaration, we would clearly like to indicate that these allegations are absolutely false, that no recall program is in progress and that our products present any risk of this type. In addition, we would like to specify that this retailer is not one of MSI’s partners, and we do not work with them.
We reserve the right to initiate legal proceedings against those responsible for these very defamatory allegations, which harm the reputation of our brand, as well as against anyone contributing to its dissemination.
We recommend that you buy from one of our authorized resellers as indicated below.

Well, that has definitely eliminated the rumor of NVIDIA RTX 5090 GeForce RTX 5090 because with a risk of potentially fire risk, it would have been sure to say that something had been wrong with the on -board power connector. Team Green is already having trouble with the RTX 50 series with regard to supply problems, as well as other problems such as missing ROPs or black screen incidents.
For the moment, an average consumer would not have to worry that their RTX 5090 has exhausted themselves, because MSI confirmed that such a problem does not exist at all. However, we always advise consumers to pay attention to how they mount the flagship GPU RTX Blackwell.
