MSI GeForce RTX 3070 Gaming X TRIO review - 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). 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 gets 9-phases and is controlled b an OnSemi NCP81610, DrMOS for the GPU are OnSemi 302045. Two ophases go to the memory subsystem based on a UPI uS5650Q. You can see the LED system now integrated onto the PCB. So no more awkward LED systems on the cooler side. All components are nicely cushioned with padding and heatsinks, most of them leading to the cooler.
