Leaked Footage Shows Chinese Factories Dismantling Thousands of RTX 5090 GPUs for AI Servers

Leaked video from Hong Kong hardware outlet HKEPC exposes industrial workshops in China systematically dismantling brand-new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 GPUs. Technicians desolder GB202 chips and 32GB GDDR7 memory, transplanting them onto custom AI server boards with blower designs. The grey-market operation helps explain why RTX 5090 stock has vanished from U.S. retailers, with prices now exceeding $8,500.
