That was exactly what I am hoping to see, and the card that fly off the shelves are... AMD 9070XT. So hope them finally slash off the stupid 70%+ margin and finally get something accetably mid-high end capable for what a gaming GPU should do... gaming

Finger crossed for that, but still, hopes arn't high though, scalpers likely will kept the sweet taste and try to jack up whatever GPU on release and with even 9070 costs a lot over MSRP... maybe next year after the scalpers finally lost some arms and legs

Given the bad supply, bad drivers, scalper price and all those heat/power issues, I wonder if they can get they hype train up... even if they have MSRP of $400 they likely won't do, as once it's released it will be $1400+

To be fair I can understand it can appear to be excessive thermal putty if over applied. But with it dripping out onto the motherboard I am thinking either they are using cheap putty with bad consistency so it will be susceptable to pumping out or that the "hotspot" of the VRMs as demoed in...

This looks like a fun project. But since it tis warranty void I woud thinkg it's better just to delid and get what better optimized jet channels a direct die water block can do. at leaset you don't try drill channels into the IHS which can accidentally cut into the die anyway

tbf to montech, they provide nice stuffs at a budget cost, the size and the GPU compatability, nice built and kinda good look is great, just that when the name states wood, I kind of try looking for something in my Fractal North, and it's so tiny that on a phone it is difficult to spot at first

To be fair the 5% could well be covering the shipping cost of say, $70 into it as all buyers buying will likely opt for the free shipping. The temporary tariff surcharge isn’t working as debauer explained in his interview that tariff is based on all materials used. So you have to declare each...

It took me a while to look where the wood is..

But, to be realistic, with the regulations, wages and/ or machinery all being made in USA any such product won't go from $100 to $200, it will be lucky if they can retain the margin and able to sell you below $500

Somehow I've always been skeptical for the various companies burning away crazy amount of fuel for AI training only for the LLM to use chance calculations to look right in chat type use..

you have be know that beside the actually running chips like the GPU die and the memory, the power delivery circuits do get hot as they deliver those 300+W power throught their circuits. although thte VRMs are usually attached to the heatsink via thermal pads, those are usually quite thick ones...

hum~ actually, the hotspot sensor was the GPU die hotspot, which of course itself is a problem, but if you read the igor's lab article, they are talking about the power supply rail/VRM region temperature, which is another issue and can be more serious. It's a Sxxt show til now, looking like...

https://www.techpowerup.com/review/asus-geforce-rtx-5080-tuf-oc/4.html from the teardown it appears it have at least pads for the power delivery components even to the backplate, but if it's like 90C-75C, it's still likely to not survive real long for the cost of the card. Combining with the...

I think the hotspot issue is on the PCB power delivery portion, not memory and GPU temp reported by software. So your chips might be fine but the VRMs cook themselves

I believe for the memory cards the main market they will be in are the big mirrorless/DSLR/Videocam market, those are the ones which need a portable card with quick read/write speed to not let the card bottlenecking the continuous shooting (My Canon R5 mk II raw photo are about 60-70MB per...
