Zephyr GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Card Has a Pink PCB

[T0@st]

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.

Shitty GPU, but I dig the unique color. Reminds me of old times when we had purple, blue and red PCB. MSI used mostly red PCB for example.

Something like this would be on point for a Polly Pocket SFF build.

Really concerned about the infiltration of progressive aligned aesthetics into the PC hardware realm. The PCB is probably the least likely component to be seen from the outside regularly. We need to return to the age of pragmatic, functional designs. I blame the mass marketing of PC Building during the COVID era.

...

What's "progressive" about the colour pink?

 

[Tomgang]

How do I feel about it. I will let this gif express it.

Deffently not something I would want to put in to my pc.

I'm kind of surprised Yeston hasn't adopted white, pink, or even cotton candy blue PCBs for their Sakura series of cards. Sure, it's a minor detail, but still, it would improve aesthetics where there are cutouts in the backplate or from the visible side profiles

 

[freeagent]

I don’t know you guys..

I think it would look pretty sweet in some rigs

 

[Solaris17]

I like it. I like when manufacturers use different colors in the PCB.

Flamebait format,
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 we can get the PCB in Pink, why is it so difficult to get white GPU with white PCB?

 

[ZoneDymo]

just cool, good stuff, imagine being upset due to change or even weird, progress.

 

[Fleurious]

Looks good as a PCB colour. Just call it rose gold and you’re set.

 

[kawice]

Oh my gosh so pink...

Holly molly! One slot gpu?

 

[natr0n]

"drops a tiny red droplet in white solder mask/paint/whatever"

If you were gonna build a pcb/board pink is nice can see everything clearly.

 

[ExcuseMeWtf]

Holly molly! One slot gpu?

Two.

 

[sLowEnd]

This is probably the smallest 3060 Ti I've seen yet.

 

[Fungi]

I like it a lot, it'd be perfect in the sakura NR200P or something.

 

[zo0lykas]

i remember back in days RGB was giving some HORSE power, but the new META brings us something beyond! its PINK PCB !!! UNLEASH THE POWER !!!

Shitty GPU, but I dig the unique color. Reminds me of old times when we had purple, blue and red PCB. MSI used mostly red PCB for example.

We even had barf brown (or less-flatteringly, sh1t-brown) PCBs as alternatives to green PCBs (which in and of itself came in 3 different colors; dark green, green, and light-green), and when the color faded on the brown, turned into snot-colored yellow/brown.

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.

 

[Deleted member 229121]

DFI maybe? I remember their boards being bright themed but usually black PCB.

 

[Gmr_Chick]

I'm sure all gamer girls have their panties wet by now. Oh my gosh so pink...

Yeahhhhh no. Bold of you to assume we're all the same.

EXACTLY... I have been asking this question for years, and to date, nobody, and I mean N.O.FRIGGINGB.O.D.Y...., has ever given me a reasonable reason why

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
