Teardown

Before we begin, a 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. You can see that at the example below for GDDR6X memory. We want to return the product as good as it came into the manufacturer (in reusable condition) so we had to direct that the card delicately. None the less, the GA102-200 GPU, power phases (20 stages, 16 GPU and four for memory), and GDDR6X memory from Micron labeled D8BGW. We spot a duo of UPI uP9512R phase controllers with memory using uP9512S. The photo at the bottom shows the dual-BIOS, we recommend leaving it at default performance mode, as the card is not noisy.
