This show the new amd fiji gpu with 4 hbm stacks. And confirms huge gpu core

[BiG StroOnZ]

Oh wow another useless leak from AMD.

[Victorious Secret]

So their solution to heat output is to smother the core in paste? 

 

Bold strategy Cotton, lets see how it plays out. 

[werto165]

dat wccf tech water mark tho...

[matjojo]

this should make cooling better wouldnt it?

[MegaDave91]

Walk the talk already, AMD.

[Sakkura]

I do feel like these leaks are getting a bit ridiculous. Actually a lot ridiculous.

[Unlikelyjoker]

OH GOD THAT POOR DIE, SOMEONE PLEASE FIX IT!

*Slowly adds more thermal paste while nobodys looking*

[Imachoirstarter]

Lets be honest... it could be anything under that sea of thermal paste.

You can actually see something that looks like an interposer, but there are a few other 2.5D chips out there, so its not confirmed

[cesrai]

Much detail much wow.

[LiamApex]

The fans look away and they add 100g of thermal paste to the core

...Really AMD? that's a metric fuck ton of paste! Seriously, does no one adhere to "less is more" anymore when it comes to this stuff? I still heat mine up to 80C and use a credit card to spread a pea into a spiral. The thinner the coating (and the more even) the better!

Remembered someone saying... AMD world leader in picture slides. lol

I'm pretty sure that's not how they do it in production lines... specially now that you have 4 memorys next to the core.

[Mattrixx]

On the bright side, you won't have to worry about cooling the memory.

 

Edit: I'm also pretty unhappy that we'll be seeing the end of large GPUs once stacked VRAM becomes a big thing. There's just something about large decorated shrouds over heatsinks under a big PCB that is "cool." Pun not intended.

take your damn time AMD [emoji20]

It's my impression that this is pretty common in GPUs. Here's an example of just the part stuck to the heatpipes:

its not from amd its from wccftech ...

[Shakaza]

There is a certain point at which you should not add more thermal paste. Usually you don't want it to go past the bounds of the heat spreader.

[MrRavens]

With this many leaks, the next GPU better blow me away. Right out my chair, out of my shoes, out the window, through the streets.

[patrickjp93]

I'm pretty sure that's not how they do it in production lines... specially now that you have 4 memorys next to the core.

Whether they do/not and whether they should/not are different matters entirely. I shaved 14*C from my GTX 570 just by redoing the paste with Promilatech as described. It's too bad you can't use EK Indigo on a GPU die.

Is this more like it?

Definitely the truth. By using good paste and applying a really thin layer I have always seen cooling improve by 5-10C under load vs. factory application. I think they apply thermal paste at the factory with a caulk/silicone gun, or a cement trowel.
