[@jon4715]

But he didn’t explain the reason for the fan scoop! He explained that higher velocity areas had higher fins…but those are limited by two-slot card design. Can you explain the reason for the scoop?

[@alihammad6318]

@@jon4715 I can a little, I'm an aero eng student. So obviously he already mentioned the velocity distribution is different for the fan across its radius. The other thing that changes is the pressure gradient - the outside of the fan generates more static pressure, the inside generates less. Imagine the shame of the pressure gradient as a dog food bowl - the outside is higher, small inside. When you have a pressure gradient, it can cause some acoustic weirdness and more I don't know about. What the concavity does is it normalizes the pressure gradient, so effectively the resistance to flow of the air is effectively equal across the fan, rather than making the slow moving inner part of the fan blade push through the same resistance as the outside. This should help with acoustics, I'd guess there's more interaction as well and maybe helps the airflow be more consistent.

[@3fgy73fg]

@@alihammad6318 Thank you for explaining this! Aside from the benefits in cooling, does it increase the total amount of heat pulled out of the heatsink? Like you said, it helps all air move air at a similar speed, but does more air moving through less fins pull more heat than less air moving through longer fins?

30:35 TSMC chips have a really fun property: The substrate is low doped silicon, which means it's transparent to a certain range of infrared light. So when you look at a flip chip on a PCB with a NIR camera, you can see through the silicon and look *at the transistors*.

[@GamersNexus]

Is that true? That's awesome if so!

[@kevinerbs2778]

That's not a good thing. That means their using its thinness to spread its own heat, because if was thicker the thermal properties would suck. It also means it's going to warp with the PCB, with time, heat. It will flex & eventually crack over time. It's "planned obsolescence", right when it breaks the new model will be out.

[@neburo69]

@@GamersNexusfor me this makes sence, because black silicon can absorb light in the range of 1100-2500 nm, which exceeds 90% absorption efficiency.

[@hocln2556]

@kevinerbs2778 completely wrong, because the main PCB isn't holding any weight of the GPU at all. The PCB is basically sandwiched in a cooler and doesn't has any gravity or mechanically force applied on it to warp (except the cooler mounting pressure). If we go further with your intention, then every CPU should die because of the warping especially with Intel LGA 1851. The dies on this CPU are also very thin.

[@kevinerbs2778]

weight doesn't matter for fatigue from heat. It stretches from heat & expand from heat. It will shrink from cooling off. So, nothing you said was true at all. The hole reason it's even clamped between it is, because IT WILL SHRINK & EXPAND WIITH IT.

Every tech giant should play back this video, this is how its done people, an engineer that knows his stuff, no sugar coating pr nonsense, credibility of his enthusiasm and knowledge, showing the indepth concept to reality for the Geforce 5x Series Cooling solution and the revolutionary PCB redesign, I like his clear definition and statments about simulation , and physical testing, how they use practises that are undisclosed to ensuring the quality of assurance we all as consumers want in our GPU's, & too Steve bringing the highest quality technical information available to our screens, ive used YT since the dawn of time ;) 2006, you was one of my first YT channels i ever watched consistantly. lol.

@@andrewmorris3479 Nah. Getting the Asus TUF 5090 OC with PCM, coz phase change material, while less conductive, is set to perform almost as well for the entire lifetime of the card. For CPU, I'm using TG Kryosheet (graphene) which is even better than PCM.

[@R6ex]

@@pingpong1727 Online search indicates some PS5 have problem with liquid metal after some time. Liquid metal is great for short period and fades, requiring reapplication regularly. I mean, if we can reapply liquid metal yearly on our CPU, not much of a problem. Graphics card? Especially this new FE complicated design with multiple PCBs ... yikes! I see this as more of a planned obsolescence strategy. Sure, it works wonders when new, but for longevity, I'd rather get Asus's cards with less-conductive, but WAY more durable phase change material instead. After all, for an expensive 5090 card, I'd expect it to work optimally for many years in my rig!

The only time I've ever worked with Liquid Metal was when I was repairing my PS5. It got to where it was overheating even when it was perfectly clean so I fully disassembled it. A huge dry spot had formed over the APU so I had to reapply Liquid Metal, and it was a bit nerve racking. Fixed the overheating issue and it's worked perfectly ever since. Say what you will about the 50 series cards but imo its the most gorgeous FE ever. I have a 4070ti Super so I'm going to wait until the Super refresh to upgrade, but I need it in my life.

[@brianoreilley1952]

As a person who loves computers, I love how much Malcolm loves his job. I think it would be a dream of mine to work for a company like that! I've also realized that even if I wanted a 5090 founders edition, it wouldn't fit with my build since my build is an all white build.

[@Dennn90]

Considering how many heavy, three slot + cards are suffering from cracked locking tab on the pci-e slot, or cracked solder joints (ripped pars) under chips, due to sag or improper handling, this easily detachable pci-e connector is a great idea, not only you can replace it (hopefully they'll sell the parts) it also more rigid (made of metal) and sag will no longer affect the pcb and connection with memory chips or the gpu core. And on top of all that, the board itself is small, means more rigid and the bulk of the structure is the heatsink, not the pcb itself. I'm not even talking about ITX custom build options with such a small board. Engineering is impressive.

[@yumeN0dengon]

I'm not sure I understand how it's coming together, because it looks like the entire weight of the heatsink is resting on a small piece of PCB connected to the rest of the board by an even smaller connector, with a tiny, thin piece of metal serving to bring some rigidity in that area. That doesn't look robust at all to me. What am I missing? EDIT: it looks like it's screwed into the board's backplate as well, which is no doubt much stronger than the thin plate I was talking about, but it's still a smaller area experiencing the strain gravity.
