AMD Radeon VII Tear-Down & Graphite Thermal Pad

We take apart AMD&new Radeon VII video card, featuring Vega architecture, and look at the PCB, cooling solution, and assembly process. The AMD Radeon VII video card somewhat interestingly uses a Hitachi HM03 graphite thermal pad, as opposed to normal paste, which is something we can look at in future testing. The PCB will receive separate analysis, but requires some voltage measurements in order to determine the exact VRM locations. As for benchmarks for AMD Radeon VII (and the review), those will have to wait. The product launches on the 7th, which is likely around when follow-up content will post, including tests vs. the RTX 2080 / GTX 1080 Ti. ** Please like, comment, and subscribe for more! ** Follow us in these locations for more gaming and hardware updates: Host: Steve Burke Video: Andrew Coleman Links to Amazon and Newegg are typically monetized on our channel (affiliate links) and may return a commission of sales to us from the retailer.
