NVIDIA's latest RTX 4000 series graphics cards have undergone a significant redesign, focusing on an improved cooling system known as "twin axial flow through thermals." This innovative design draws air from the outer side and expels it through the top and connection port sides.

The fan design enhances airflow compared to its predecessor. While the absence of RGB lighting may disappoint some users, the GeForce RTX logo emits a stylish white glow, adding an elegant touch to the card's overall aesthetics.

Although the new DP 2.1 standard is not yet incorporated, the RTX 4000 series graphics cards feature HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 ports, supporting 8K 60 Hz HDR through a single HDMI cable. The card's IO panel includes an air vent with connectors and an aluminum fin stack encased within an alloy frame.

The fin stack contributes to the majority of the cooler's volume, with the first fan drawing in fresh air and expelling it from the sides of the card, while the second fan pulls air through the fin stack and vents it upwards.

To effectively dissipate heat from the GPU and memory, the cooling elements are connected to a vapor-chamber plate via six heat pipes.

The cards are equipped with a 12VHPWR power connector header and come with a converter cable that connects to 8-pin connector(s). The package includes documentation and an adapter that converts the 8-pin PCIe power inputs to a 12-pin power connector. It is important to maintain a distance of 3-4cm from the plastic connector and avoid bending the cable too closely to it. We expect some Aboard partners to make use of the older 8-pin PWR header.
