Product Teardown
Teardown
It is a request that is getting more and more daunting as we do not want to damage products. But user request on this is clear, you like a teardown and want to look to see what is going on at the PCB level. So here we go, meet the GA104-300 GPU, GPU and memory power phases, and GDDR6 memory from Samsung (K4Z80325BC-HC14), these are rated 1750 MHz, which delivers an effective bandwidth data-rate of 14 Gbps. Looking at the PCB, what a beautiful clean PCB/component design, look at that. Of course, the board does need to be hooked up towards 2x 8-pin connectors. The GPU has been assigned 10-phases routed through an OnSemi NCP81810 controller with OnSemi 302150 DrMOS. The memory subsystem is fed by two phases managed by a UPI uS5650Q and OnSemi 302150 DrMOS.
The teardown of the TUF Gaming has proved it's becoming more and more difficult to do a teardown, new thermal pads are being used that will stick and tear terribly. So we left most of them on as this card is rotated to other media.
