5090 lightning z reviews

Spoiler alert, the Lightning is very obviously not a binned chip.
My Ventus 5090 (with a Gaming Trio BIOS to get the full 600 watts rather than the gimped 570) with an Alphacool Core water block and Kryonaut Extreme paste seems to clock as well as Jay's Lightning from my cursory testing. Out of concern for the power connector I've yet to even try pushing a clock that would be likely to cause the GPU to crash.

What temp is it running at full load? I put the core on a gigabyte 5090 and it gets up to 55c with a 31c water Temp running about 2950-3k in 3D Mark and about 3100in games. Seems a bit high to me and I'm debating ripping the block apart to see if is making good contact.
