AMD reference card 9070 XT change of pads. 10 April
https://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-rx-...eplacing-thermal-pads-fixes-high-gddr6-temps/
6c lower VRAM temps with changed thermal pads to T "grease"(I guess putty) in Furmark but, has Samsung memory and 8 heatpipes heatsink.
Also if you notice heatsink exhaust is not covered by the plastic shroud, similar to some 9070XT XFX and Gigabyte.
AMD reference card heatsink thickness and exhaust is let's say ideal(but is a smaller card and we have to consider that, I believe is 12cm width by 5 cm tall) and than we have Pure which cut off a hefty amount of heatsink thickness same as the most expensive card from Acer, Predator. Than we have the Acer Nitro which is funny, they remove the fins from the hottest part of the card to the tail.
Why?
I guess Acer on the Nitro card they hopped the heat pipes will carry all the heat to the tail of the card where the third fan has a blow trough and is more efficient in cooling the whole card
Meanwhile GPU, VRAM and VRM will not agree to that. Without high RPM that card I believe will run hot.
Above all is very strange that is very hard to find pictures of Nvidia or AMD cards from this angle(like u see the Pure card above or the AMD reference), showing to amount of shroud/heatsink coverage.
If heatsink is revealed in high % and has no aesthetics, yes, is no marketing in that, I know is ugly but is necessary. The more the exhaust is covered the more noisy card you'll have and more often you'll change TIM.
