Ampere's Launch Edges Closer: NVIDIA "PG133A" Board Gets RRA Certification
That Ampere's launch is edging closer is sort of a lapalissian truth; as time advances, a new consumer gaming graphics card from NVIDIA becomes ever more likely. However, we are now witnessing what amount to be the final steps in NVIDIA's preparation for launch of their next-generation RTX 3000 series. NVIDIA has submitted with the Korean National Radio Research Agency (RAA) their PG133A board design for certification, which is being pegged as the one that's been in numerous leaks already, with that fancy PCB and cooling solution.
Such certification is one of the last steps before a product comes to market, and timing seems to be inline with the #ultimatecountdown teaser that NVIDIA has been spearheading, the results of which should be clear by August 31st. It remains to be seen if the Founders' Edition will feature the leaked cooler across all products, of if NVIDIA will be staggering its design (maybe re-purposing that of last year's RTX 2000 series) for lower-tier SKUs in order to shave costs.

Should be RTX, not RX.
Having the VRMs on it's own heatsink is a good thing.
Check out: rra.go.kr/en/index.do
They have 1 fan fighting against the PCB and some side fins with no direct airflow to cool the main PCB portion of the card. Unless the PCB fan is doing most of the cooling on the GPU...
This is one of those "wait to read reviews before buying" products for sure.
- Near-impossible disassembly that requires breaking seals and reglueing parts back together
- Extremely dense fin stack that clogs up with dust exceptionally quickly
- No idle fan stop, coupled with extremely high idle-RPM of 1500RPM that is not just audible, but louder than some of the compeition at load!
Yeah, Nvidia have lost their reputation for making good coolers.The 900-series and 10-series blowers were excellent (for blowers) and a decent reference blower is important because the AIB's don't bother.
My mother has an HD4650 in it and working just fine.
And a friend is using still and HD7950 as her gaming card to this day :P
Just solid stuff all around really, very reliable.
This shows two pcb-s and two heatsinks (gpu and power delivery) ... it may be right given the position of the power connectors. Foreground heatsink doesn't have to be in two parts though (it may cool gpu with the help of the second fan given the size of power pcb).
