We Found the Glue: Tear-Down of NVIDIA RTX 3090 Founders Edition

Rating: 4.6; Vote: 3
In this video, we're taking apart the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Founders Edition video card, which is mostly an upscaled and larger RTX 3080 FE. That said, we decided to tear it down further this time, down to the fans and the glue. The design could use some tweaks for user serviceability, but it is overall moving in the right direction.

I unlocked my 2080Ti today...NERVOUS AF. MSI 260/290w to 300/400w KFA Bios.
I'm not chasing records or above 350w, just removing the (1440p HFR) stutter when it hits the 290w wall, will hold same clocks, no more wall or tipping point.
Backed up Bios of course..
And got around the USBC issue that blocks flashing 2080tis by using a newer dated bios using USBC and higher limits.
2080Ti owners thread is godsend but IS missing the USBC stuff on first page.. look into page 300-350 lol for the USBC issues cropping up and being solved within 50 pages.

I really enjoyed that, thank you. I was particularly interested in the Delta fan because there are many cases where the through airflow should be better if it were reversed. For example any desktop case where the GPU is upright and cases where the motherboard is a different orientation like the Silverstone FT series (vertical GPU) and the Silverstone Temjin series (upside-down GPU). I wonder if Delta make such a fan?

Wonder if you can turn off the module where the Hotspot occurs to eliminate throttle at the expense of a little memory.
Question. Can you put the 3080 into the 3090 housing to see how difference there is in cooling with the large heat sink and fan? Didnt see the 3080 video yet to know if the PCB is any smaller.

reply

Steve, thanks for the disassembly, I see that the cooling system is similar in design to the 3080, but bigger. Are they compatible? Can the 3090 cooling system to be installed on the 3080? 3090 will probably be taken for water cooling. And her cooling would improve the potential of 3080 for example.

Dude, the glue engineer wants to keep his job.
Just be glad they don't have a apple engineer, who hides screws under the thermal pads and worse.
I just hope better models are out when I need a new GPU.
Maybe I won't have to deal with Nvidia drivers under Linux, to get something efficient.

Does the pcb need to be that big ? I see a lot of component-free board are there any traces in the layers that could not have been routed differently at the empty extremes of the card? The real question is does the card and shroud and heat-sink need to be that big ?
reply

If you were given a 3090 and had to tear it apart and reasamble it and if it does work you get to take it home for FREE but if you break it you don't keep it and have to pay full price but don't get the product. would you take this deal?
reply

I see a future point of failure, that ribbon cable for the fan power passing on top of the heat pipe will fail, had a old acer notebook the keyboard cable did that and I had to swap the keyboard every 3 to 6 months

So now you nearly need phone and laptop repair experience to service the damned gpu... not buying those even while i do have the experience. Even if i was willing to burn the crazy amounts of energy it needs
