hey everyone we're here at pax now after Gamescom at the gigabyte booth so gigabytes got a couple there are TX cards we did not see that Mike Gamescom and the ones here are from the gaming series so there's gaming OC cards there's a twenty eighty and a twenty eighty TTI behind the glass they are as I understand it probably the reference PCB designs we were not allowed to take it apart this time go figure but I can see the cooler though so we can give you some information on the cooler four gigabytes new series for the r-tx 20 launched and we'll go through some of that in today's video before that this video is brought to you by the NZXT e series power supplies the e series PS use our high end power supplies with real time digital voltage and temperature monitoring per rail wattage measurements and data logging functionality for power usage the e series PSU is also come with a 10 year warranty all the way down to the 500 watt unit and they run fully modular and with silent fan operating modes learn more at the link below so for the cooler on this one I think this is the 20 80 in front of me it both are three fan coolers this is gonna be really common for this generation because NVIDIA is now making its own dual axial cooler so anybody has kind of seeping into the market where the AIB partners typically would make their low-end cards with dual fan coolers so you're gonna see a lot of try fan coolers for this generation and that's what we have here today so to three fan coolers for each of the cards it's the same cooler as far as I can tell right now I should note nothing is 100% final I can tell by looking at it some of this stuff is handmade so it's it's a little bit early but we have some basics and one of the basic things we have is gigabyte now so the backplate on this it does not have at least on this model that copper block on back of the GPU that we previously criticized as being non-functional so that's cool to see they got rid of the the useless block on the back and just went with a straight back plate it's an aluminum backplate and there are in the present model there are two millimeter thick thermal pads and at least two locations maybe three between the back the piece to be in the back plate and those are our behind the GDD r6 memory and part of the vrm so it's not crucial to sync heat into a backplate but it does help and one thing I should note is if you touch the back of a card and it feels really hot that's a good thing that means the backplate is doing its job it's sinking the heat away from the parts that matter so they've got their own pads there we tested this in the past with other vendors other manufacturers and have found that it actually works quite well not sure if it doesn't this but it probably will be the same basic principle so for the cooler so if it's got three separate finding stacks so there's a fin stack over here on the i/o side of the card and that one's the most interesting because as I said this is probably almost certainly a reference PCB design at least right now and the reference PCB design looks to have some of the vrm components on the i/o side so typically you see it all kind of on one side to the right of the GPU unless it's like an HB I'm card in which case you have an l-shape vrm but this one has part of the BRM over here part over here and from the top top my had the ten eight the 20 atti i think is a thirteen plus three setup and we'll talk about this more later and the twenty eighty ninety i is something like an eight plus two or eight plus three we'll talk about it closer to launch but that's the layout we have so part of the VRMs on one side parts on the other and that's why there are three separate thin stacks one of which is straight over the GPU once over the right side BRM once over the left side VRM and for the rest of the cooling solution there's about a one millimeter or last maybe 0.5 millimeter thick they're all pad between the g6 memory and the cold plate or actually a a connecting plate for the memory that goes to the cold plate which is something we've seen before it tends to work pretty well so connecting the memory straight in to the cold plate which is on the GPU it'll make the GPU temperatures appear higher but in reality that's because it's sharing the cooling solution with the memory as well and that actually tends to be a net positive but it depends on the design heat pipes there are three on this side that I can see there are four on this side that I can see there might be more in there as I said not allowed to take it apart but that's my understanding right now an eight and a six pin connector and then there is a metal plate between the inductors and the fin stack over here so they've got direct contact between even the inductors and the cooling for what we can see right now and then I think final item of note here that's pretty interesting is this has two fan headers and also a synchronous cooling design which is something I think Nvidia's publicly talked about at this point but this is technically this is one of those areas where ebj did that first before on video this isn't a gigabyte thing doing what they did this is Nvidia doing what EVGA did with the asynchronous point so that's a point of interest for the future that there two connectors and it will have a synchronous fan which just means that you can run the fans of different speeds if you wanna cool the GPU differently from the BRM components and memory components stuff like that and I think that covers the entire cooling solution for the card so this is the gigabyte or the ars as it may be called later Gaming OSI model and we saw the twenty eighty and twenty atti today what we don't know is how do they custom PCBs look and we'll find that out closer to launch most likely the custom PCB is if you missed our Gamescom coverage will be coming a bit after launch for the most part because Nvidia gave everyone extremely late notice some of us the cards you're gonna see are gonna mean three fan coolers maybe some new cooler designs and up Fitz and then the reference PCB with custom stuff coming out later so that's it for the gigabyte booth at PAX thank you for watching as always and go to store that cameras axis net to helps out directly and go to patreon.com/scishow cameras Nexus
