Tear-Down: NVIDIA RTX 3070 Founders Edition Disassembly

Описание: We're taking apart the NVIDIA RTX 3070 Founders Edition GPU for full disassembly of the cooling solution, die shots, and a look at thermal paste and fan replacement. Only some glue involved!

Watch our RTX 3080 FE tear-down, featuring a drill:    • Tear-Down: NVIDIA RTX 3080 Founders Editio...  
Or our RTX 3070 Founders Edition full review:    • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition R...  

The NVIDIA RTX 3070 FE had some of the best pressure contact we've seen with our new pressure testing yet, benefiting also from a relatively flat coldplate. This tear-down takes a closer look at why the pressure distribution was so even and shows the step-by-step disassembly process / how-to for taking apart an NVIDIA RTX 3070 Founders Edition GPU. We'll also show hole spacing for water cooling efforts, the safest way to remove the glue from the ribbon cables, a GPU die shot and die sizing, and more.
