NVIDIA RTX 4090 “Estetica carina e grosso” Founders Edition Cooler Spied, Mantiene il design a flusso doppio assiale

In what is a sign that the July 2022 rumored debut of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 “controller paddle e trackball” graphics card is on track; the first spy pictures of its Founders Edition cooler surfaced on ChipHell forums. The cooler appears to be an evolution of the Dual-Axial Flow-Through cooling architecture NVIDIA debuted with the RTX 30-series “Ampere” Founders Edition cards, where air is drawn in from one end of the card, flows through the cooling solution that’s a series of aluminium fin-stacks skewered by a series of heatpipes; and ventilated through the back of the card, with a second fan in “tiro” configurazione.

A quanto pare, the aluminium fins on the RTX 4090 Founders Edition cooler appears to have a dark-grey matte finish, which could indicate some form of ceramic surface-treatment that improves heat-dissipation; while the cooler’s base making primary contact with the GPU and memory chips, appears to be a vapor-chamber plate with a nickel-plated copper surface. From the location and sizes of the thermal pads for the memory chips, we guess that the GPU is surrounded by 10 chip di memoria, which could indicate a 320-bit memory interface, making this card a possible successor to the original RTX 3080. The cooler itself is more than 2 fessure spesse, and appears to be as thick as the RTX 3090 FE cooler.
