Air-cooled 5090 variants are not Resilience-equivalent to liquid ones under sustained inference. The +3 Resilience delta survives multiple test runs on a calibrated bench.
Blackwell Liquid Thermal Tune
Factory-liquid 5090 SKUs get +3 Resilience over air-cooled variants. Sustained-inference reality check.

Sustained-load thermal ceiling holds where air-cooled Suprim X throttles. Measured over 30-minute llama.cpp runs.
