The question still needs to be asked... Why was this not found during testing, before you released the product? Why did it take paying customers to find out that your product was faulty?
Only reason why I would go for the new form factor is if they support higher transfer speeds in real world applications. Building a new workstation with 96GB in two dimms. So they would also have to at least match current capacity for two channels.
Thanks Der8auer for the kind words to the viewers I totally understand the way you bought the NVIDIA card and sometimes it is good to go a little beyond your limits for something special, in this case also for something useful for someone else, a good cause.
I was surprised how small the PCB manufacturing part was compared to the rest. Oh, and how clean everything was. Even the monitors at GPU testing were clean and dust loves working electronics.
I think it's a dummy display model for a shop window. For display purposes only. I worked in a mobile phone shop, and we would have dummy display models of expensive phones on the back there is a RED tab that says (Sample for display purposes only) they are made by a props company and are just used has point of sale or has props for TV.
Ok, how about Titanium Nitride or Tungsten Carbide coating using a PVD process??? Yes it is going to be maybe 2-8 times as expensive as nickel (assuming $10-$40 per square inch) but I think on balance it would be the best performing option within a reasonable cost scale where liquid metal is going to be used - in both cases there is going to be no reaction with gallium and the thermal conductivity is significantly higher than nickel... This would also be an innovative industry first which would imo justify the extra cost of the part to the consumer using liquid metal (I'd certainly buy it, and with corrosion issues around nickel I just wouldn't buy a nickel plated direct die block to use with liquid metal period)
In about 4 years we may get GPUs with the new glass interposer technology that has significant advantages in thermal transfer over current organic substrates. They are claiming over 30 percent improved conductivity. Developing new heat tranfer plates for this might be worth while development target. Water Cooling has new frontiers to look forward to .
Jesus my 13700k drops as low as 5 ghz on 200 watt I guess the 13900k is way better then. If i use 90 watt it drops to 4,4 when gaming Copiee all ur settings in the try.
