Zephyr GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Card Has a Pink PCB
Zephyr has produced an NVIDIA GeForce custom graphics card that sports a very unique pink printed circuit board—bright and pastel colors have featured on cooling solutions in the past, but this new-ish product presents the first example of a PCB with a tinge of blush. Renowned hardware tipster harukaze5719 broke from his normal delivery of very cold and macho tech on social media, and shared his discovery of Zephyr's GeForce RTX 3060 Ti compact ITX card.
International buyers will be disappointed to learn that the pink Ampere card is a China market exclusive, with the company only offering a limited number of products on JD.com. VideoCardz notes that the card's specifications are not at all special, despite its interesting compact form factor and brightly toned cooling solution design. It is a non-overclocked model based on the older RTX 3060 Ti GDDR6 GPU variant with a standard 1750 MHz boost clock, 8 GB VRAM configuration, and a single 8-pin power connector.

What's "progressive" about the colour pink?
Deffently not something I would want to put in to my pc.
I think it would look pretty sweet in some rigs :laugh:
but I do agree with the sentiments towards pragmatism in hardware design+aesthetics.
Black PCBs and White PCBs (IMO) are best for utility and aesthetics both.
Black "matches everything" and arguably is the better 'thermal' choice. White is good for 'showy' PCs w/ lots of lighting. (Even if you don't see the PCB, it'll help diffuse whatever light hits it)
If you were gonna build a pcb/board pink is nice can see everything clearly.
There was also that one bright orange PCB from one mobo maker a long time ago, back when it was being advertised as a "gamer" mobo, IIRC.
Yea I know there are some with white fan blades and/or shrouds and maybe backplates, but they always skip making the entire pcb & cooler system & pci brackets white, but insist on calling them their "white" versions anyways, which IMHO is false advertising....
If anyone here sees/finds one like I want in the next 6 months or so, please don't hesitate to pm me at your earliest convenience :)
