I didn't realise the orientation before, that's "fan side" up, so no active VRM fan?

Is it possible the AIO block on the GPU also flows through a VRM block? O.O

If so the TAKE MY MONEY!

If you mean RAM with VRM then yes. It was explained that the cooler will cool the GPU + HBM stacks.

So basically like a proper block does it like what you get after-market from EK ?

No I'm thinking like a AIO cooler but with a bit extra for the VRM, like this universal block:

But obviously the VRAM wouldn't be passive as it's with the CPU.

Well, to help. I did some really hi-tech photoshopping and here's the card in the correct orientation (for most of us looking at it in our PC's).
This **** was difficult, give credit if you use it elsewhere please

:D :D :D :rolleyes:

Well **** Me you're smart how did you turn it around the right way, what a genius you are ;)

that GPU looks horrid, it looks like a metal box for putting shirt buttons in, or boiled sweets, at least AMD are brave i suppose

Ugly? That's a personal preference, I see nothing wrong with it. The way it performs is far more important than how it looks.

I'd rather have a fast, well cooled card, than an overheating one.

If the looks of a graphics card helps you *ahem*, then you can always use some glue to stick a nice photo of your choosing on the front of it? :p

VRM's are not RAM dude.......... They are not located inside the RAM.

I suggest googling VRM for GPU's and educating yourself on it. Basically the VRM's can get very hot on the latest cards, requiring good cooling if your pushing high overclocks.

Wouldnt that generate a lot of heat?

RAM doesn't use that much power and the Die would have to be considerably bigger to fit the memory. On paper as a number it seems a significant increase but spread over a much larger die, it is negligible when considering the contact area for the cooler, hell we might even find that this allows us to keep temps lower easier. My worries are with memory stability if things get toasty. We know the core is fine working at 95 degrees but i wouldn't trust my memory running at 95.

Does anyone have die size and power usage or is it too early? I did search through random pages and couldn't find any info.
 
The HBM chips are not "on the die" they are right next to the GPU, like GDDR they are separate from the die.

I want great engineering, heat dissipation, and low noise....i have never understood why some value the look of a computer part...its not even on the outside!

its not even a case of each to their own, as manufacturers seem to cater for such tastes rather than concentrating on engineering quality....we need to quash all dissention and get back on track...:)
