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 GA102-225 GPU, GPU and memory power phases, and GDDR6X memory from Micron labeled D8BWW. BTW, what a gorgeous clean PCB/component design, look at that. Of course, the board does need to be hooked up towards 3x 8-pin connectors, add to that the 75W for PCIe and you're at 525 Watts for board power. You can see the LED system now integrated onto the PCB. So no more clumsy LED systems on the cooler side. We're leaving the thermal past on these days for the photos-shoot, it is based on user request as people like to see how it is applied (spread) to the GPU. All components are nicely cushioned with padding and heatsinks, most of them leading to the cooler. And of course, you'll get the dual BIOS to switch between silent and gaming modes.

Specifics then; the GPU is fed 16-phases handled by two UPI uP9512R controllers. OnSemi NCP302150 DrMOS are paired with the GPU power phases at 50A each. Memory voltage is based on four phases managed by an OnSemi NCP81611 controller again backed by OnSemi NCP302150 DrMOS.
