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 guys 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). Looking at the PCB, what a clean and small PCB/component design, look at that. Of course, the board does need to be hooked up towards 2x 8-pin connectors. Spotted is a UPI 9512R voltage controller. Two phases go to the memory subsystem based on a UPI uS5650Q. All components are nicely cushioned with padding and heatsinks, most of them leading to the cooler. The backplane is metal, not plastic, and thus helps a bit with cooling.
