Aquacomputer Ampinel & MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC — Type A or Type B?

Friday, March 6th 2026, 5:54am

Hi all,

I'm planning to order an Ampinel for my upcoming build and want to make sure I select the correct connector orientation before purchasing.

My GPU will be the MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G Gaming Trio OC (model G5090-32GTC). I've read through the thread and seen mention that MSI cards tend to be Type B, but I haven't been able to find a definitive confirmation specific to the Gaming Trio OC. Any insight or feedback would be greatly appreciated. :?:

A GPU card can use either A or B, depending on which side of the board you approach with the power cable.

If the connector "clip" is toward the front (fan side) of the GPU and the 4 sense pins toward the back (G5090-32GTC)
and the power cable approaches from the front side of the GPU, you would need the "A"
if the power cable were to approach from the backside of the GPU, the "B" version would be needed.

Thank you for that clarification, it's greatly appreciated.
