Product Innards

 
The cooling solution is a simple but proper one. Multiple 6mm U shaped heat-pipes through a heatsink, with thermal paste tied to the block. You can also see that the VRM area has padding and thus is cooled by this block. 
  


ZOTAC did apply padding on top of the chokes and DDR5X. With the main cooler removed, you can see a small PCB and its components. 

 
Here we have the GP104 graphics processor from Nvidia covered with thermal insulation material. The choice and volume in thermal paste is a bit gruesome really, it is a sticky blob of something of which too much is applied. 

 
GDDR5X memory chips are made by Micron and are specced to run at 10 GHz GDDR5 (effective data-rate). Tweaked you are looking at a capability of roughly 11000 MHz (effective data-rate).
  

 
There are five power phases for the GPU and one for the memory subsystem. The chokes, the grey thingies, are covered with thermal padding and thus get cooling from the cooling block. 
  

 
A uPI based uP9511P is a rather recent and much used model voltage controller for many NVIDIA GP104 GPU based cards.
