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 GPU, GPU and memory power phases, and GDDR6 memory from Micron GDDR6X. 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 VRM is based on 10 phases managed by a UPI uP9512R controller paired towards DrMOS 55A power stages. The graphics memory voltage controller reveals a two-phase design regulated by UPI uP1666Q controller. The GDDR6X memory chips are once again Micron SKU D8BWW, rated at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps GDDR6X effective).
