Asus ROG Edition 20: Prices, Availability of the RTX 5090, and User Reports on Hardware Issues

Widely Covered
ASUS has announced the prices and staggered availability for its limited ROG Edition 20 special models for the upcoming hardware. The lineup includes high-end components such as the RTX 5090 graphics card, listed at €5,799, along with monitors, motherboards, and peripherals.

Availability for these products is staggered across various dates in late 2026. Initial components, including monitors, power supplies, and peripherals, are scheduled to be available from late June to early July. The most expensive component, the RTX 5090, is planned for availability between late July and early August 2026.

A special highlight is the limited ROG Edition 20 complete package, which costs over €14,000. This exclusive bundle includes components such as the RTX 5090D v2 and Ryzen 9 processors and is only available through a lottery in Shanghai; it will not be officially sold in Germany.

Despite these announcements, there are also indications of potential hardware issues. A user reported visible discoloration on the heatsink of an ASUS ProArt X870E-Creator WiFi motherboard after using an ROG Astral RTX 5090 graphics card. Although this observation is based on forum information and does not provide official data on thermal overload, the importance of proper case ventilation is emphasized to prevent such marks.
