AMD Radeon R9 390X cooler leaked

Pictures have leaked of the 390X cooler and it looks like it's another Asetek design like the 295X2.

Thursday, August 14, 2014 — Asetek® today announced that it has secured a design win with an undisclosed OEM customer for a graphics liquid cooling product. The ambitious project is forecasted by the customer to result in 2 – 4 million dollars of revenue. Shipping is scheduled to begin in the first half of 2015. The design win continues Asetek’s success in the growing graphics liquid cooling market.

A bit misleading. Should just be "AMD watercooler leaked",

What's there to say it's got anything to do with a 390X?

original source article: http://videocardz.com/52302/amd-radeon-r9-390x-cooling-pictured

What you’re looking at is probably the first prototype of future Radeon R9 300 series cooling.

The overclock3d article is written so poorly that it doesn't even mention the word prototype or ~~link the source article~~ :rolleyes:

edit: looks like they added link to source now

Ah lol. OP, update with that please. Though actually, is it really worth it just because somebody said "probably". Nope, no it's not.

Slow news day?

Fake. Looks like a high quality render (on my TN at least).

They would not include watercooling as a stock cooler with there cards as that would push the price up and not fit in many PC cases..

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 12 Sep 2014 at 12:33

I remember reading a post by someone on Anandtech forums,who supposedly had been quite accurate with previous AMD leaks,that the next AMD highend card would be a massive chip.

This also might confirm it:

It says two tapeouts at 350MM2+ and 500MM2+ and Tonga was 350MM2+ so the next AMD highend GPU is most likely over 500MM2 it seems.

It's massive because they are stuck on 28nm.

Because it's a single GPU cooler which means it isn't for the 395X2, and it's an AIO water cooler, which means it's most likely not for the 370X either.

Granted the is no guarantee AMD's next flagship GPU will be called the 390X, it just stands to reason it would be called that, but regardless the coolers been leaked.

It's been confirmed by Asetek (the guys who made the 295X5 cooler, the AIO GTX580/680 coolers, loads for Corsair/Antec/etc).

Watercooled 290X with an OC

295X?

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 12 Sep 2014 at 13:15

I dunno that leaked image was quite accurate for Tonga as it was 350MM+ so it looks the R9 390X is going to have the biggest chip AMD has ever made.

Would be nice if we could get that design/color scheme with the usual blower-type coolers.

The current AMD reference design is starting to look a bit dated IMO.

Edit: Is this going to be the last 28nm generation for AMD? Because that looks huge for a single GPU card :eek:

Its going to be over 500MM2!! :eek:

Thats getting close to GK110 sized.

Orangey · 12 Sep 2014 at 13:38

Perhaps AMD are following the same path as NV? 28nm quickly replaced by 20nm full(er) fat, then hoping with fingers crossed for 16nm not to get delayed.

humbug · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:37

If both AMD and Nvidia are pushing out new 28nm designs at this point i doubt we are going to see 20nm GPU's before Q4 2015, they might even skip it altogether and go 16nm Q1/Q2 2016.

~Mike~ · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:42

Not sure I like this if true.

Orangey · 12 Sep 2014 at 14:53

It's really annoying. Why can't they just tell us if 20nm is worth it or not... been almost 18 months of speculating over it, with no info from either camp.

Gerard · 12 Sep 2014 at 15:09

Hmm, while I see the point of it on a dual chip card I think on a single card its a bit much.

Boomstick777 · 12 Sep 2014 at 15:20

Don't mind pre fitted AIO cooler at all. Would save me the hassle of doing it myself

Really don't fancy buying anymore 28nm cards though. Unless the performance VS price is worthy..
