Here's the first picture of the bare PCB of the upcoming ASUS ROG MATRIX GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card, courtesy of der8auer, who was given access to the card as part of a G.Skill overclocking event. We spotted a fully assembled version of this card on the Computex floor earlier. The PCB is essentially of the same design as the ROG Strix RTX 4090, but with some major changes. The card draws power from a single 16-pin 12VHPWR connector, and we're hearing that the card's power limits will be the highest ever allowed by NVIDIA for any custom RTX 4090, perhaps even getting close to the 600 W continuous design limit of the connector.

The card features a 24-phase VRM for the GPU power phases, and a 4-phase VRM for the 24 GB of GDDR6X memory across a 384-bit memory interface. We cannot make out the exact DrMOS components for this VRM, but der8auer says these are 70 A-rated MPS-sourced DrMOS (the ROG Strix uses 70 A DrMOS sourced from OnSemi). Although one can't tell just by looking, ASUS says that it has deployed a network of SMD thermal sensors across the critical areas of the card, such as individual rows of memory chips, or DrMOS. This is essentially ASUS's inspiration of the late EVGA iCX. There is a physical dual-BIOS switch, some consolidated voltage measurement points, and some fan and lighting headers, but that's about it.

And now take that power connector and... TURN IT 90 DEGREES !
 
Looks like inductors are getting snazy branding now. Soon all components down to the PCB level will have lights, logos and slogans. Good times!
 
Just an ordinary cheap PCB when you remove those shiny LEDs and bulky heatsink.
 
1:1 Strix. Matrix is just a joke serie now.

Those inductors are the same looking since 780 Ti or earlier.

Most inductors I’ve seen have just RXX labelling printed on top. Its the first time I’ve seen a company logo printed on top.

Asus been doing it since forever, and not only on their graphics cards. Though, I know what you mean: who really spends time looking at the branding on inductors which are (almost) always hidden by heatsinks?

MSI also has dragon logo on its inductors.

Even on GTX 680 they are using this branding. It's old stuff. The Matrix 4090 is just liquid based Strix. Just like 2080 Ti if I'm not mistaken. I think that was the previous Matrix. (Edit: Ye it was)
 
Appears to be identical PCB to original STRIX 4090 or are my eyes deceiving me?
 
It is + few more temp. sensors. Add water cooler..call it "Matrix"
 
stupid lol, a strix 4090 with a $30 aio and a much higher price tag - if you really wanna oc get a strix then ln2 it lol

There are already adapters that do exactly this, even 180°
