EVGA makes some beautiful coolers and cards inside and out.
They use copper
They used nickel plated copper on this card. (not aluminum if that is what you are thinking)
I find them to be pretty mediocre. I think MSI's Gaming X shroud looks amazing this generation.
Ben G I tend to agree. i think MSI did a good job. EVGA could have been a bit more subtle with their branding this time, but you must agree the presumption of MSI to only make a black and red card but also include RGB was not a strong design choice.
They also have the armor card, its black and white but has no back plate.
They should sell a disassembled version at a discount. Like Ikea.
or like intel's K processors "We'll sell you the PCB, you get the cooler. That'll be $30 extra"
Or just the GPU's pcb. No cooler etc, but offer the coolers as extras. That way you could get just the pcb, at a reduced price, then install your own water block.....
They need to put a heatsink on the card for QA and once the heatsink is on taking it off is just extra expense.
Actually Hardcore Overclocking They could easily make a waterblock style heatsink and use some form of a quick-release jig for Q&A purposes
That PCB looks beautiful
Looks like a 7 phase using doublers, I think I remember Buildzoid saying you can't really get anything over 8 true phases but don't quote me on that it's late
that's correct.
Actually Hardcore Overclocking imgur.com/a/txmoH Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
So what real benefit would doublers have in a situation like this then? Just redundancy if something blew?
9:27 in the video... spreads out heat.
Let the buildzoid make a review of the pcb please.
Man, that PCB looks awesome! Does the GTX1080 ftw share the excact same pcb or are there differences??
the classified and FTW are different. The FTW board is what is used for their hybrid card.
they changed the caps on the classy, used to be red 2000h caps, now its 5000h black caps...does not have to mean they are better though.
looks like a very thick PCB and well made card. Bummer it's comming so late in the generation
While i think the new acx is terrible and super "gamer" i will still get one because i love how they are built.
Let Buildzoid have a look at this asap, will be interesting to see
Holy shit it felt like you were talking to me in person... creepy shit
hey man im actually ordering this card in a couple of days and your the first to tear this card down i just have 1 question you see the metal plates the card has on it like on the corners and face of the card next to the red mesh looking things on the card are those things able to come off because im wanting to custom color those pieces gold so if they are able to come off i would be happy if you could let me know and you have the best channel for real about pc stuff
impressive that is my xmas present. question. why the EVGA logo on side does not said classified in red? Also as far I have read, what is that conector beside the two 8 pin conector?
Why didn't you disassemble the shroud?
Still have this card but just picked up a 3090 FTW3 Ultra, going to keep this one around as a backup and ultimately shadowbox it disassembled for display.
I miss the Classified theming.
Roman, no offense, love ya, but K|NGP|N is a bit too *EdGy* for me, and gold/bare copper goes with almost nothing in modern PC builds.
They must have applied the thermal paste just for this video, I just reapplied thermal paste to two of my 1080 FTW and it was a mess, thermal paste was on the die and beyond.
Hi Steve, I have the 1080 Classy, and it's super silent. with regards to the 122% and 132%, It's bizarre that it appears to hit the 1.092v limit before even hitting the 122% so most of the time I can utilise the GPU to 100%, but depending on game, it never goes more than 115% ish power.. I managed a +75Mhz core, +450Mhz mem, and it remains cool. Why are NVidia soft locking the voltage cores on all cards? It makes supposed better cards like the classified no better than reference (except noise) Manage 2086Mhz Stable @ 76 degrees on stock fan curve.
apparently i have a 1080 evga that nobody else has.... its built like a TI but it says 1080 SC but there none of the same across the internet.
Does this card suffer from the overheating issue today?
How the F do you disconnect the fan cables? I'm apart to rip the entire socket out the pcb. These don't want to disconnect!!!
How do you separate the fans and the cooler?
wea the kingpin at?? Dont the use copper only.no nickelplated.looks awesome
Doesnt look as nice as my 980ti air cooler. I just love the gun metal look of the cooler.
gr8 video
vrm cooling is pretty bad ...
60fps so cool
Quick question: does the EVGA 1080 Classified affected by the thermal issue same as FTW?
Also interested in this question.
I’ve been looking for a water block for this card and can’t find one anywhere, but I’ve read the 780ti/980ti classified ek blocks will fit? Can anybody confirm? as this card has a custom pcb
Tyia
Sooooooo, how are the VRM Mosfets cooled??
When he takes off the heat spreader back plate and shows the thermal pads that pulled the Micron logo off the GDDR ships, you can see an additional thermal tape strip on the plate that is vertical and sits right on the chokes.
VRM - Voltage Regulating Mosfet. They almost always get hotter than the CPU/GPU Core since they are delivering around 180 Amps around the board. VRM is not Memory! Not cooling the VRM is a HUGE oversight by EVGA as these things reach 110C+ easily and max out at 125C! As the storys are coming in, these things are causing the cards to flair up and cause fires!
Cooling memory is not necessary compared to your VRMs, a thing Motherboards also do when you see their heatsinks!
Keeping a cool VRM does more than just keep your card save, it helps increase the efficiency of the card as the hotter they are, the more power loss there are. Always look for coolers, weather it be for Video Cards or motherboards that have good VRM cooling (Mosfet Cooling) as it's the 2nd most important cooled part of the PC. This guy pointed it out 3 weeks before the cases with these cards causing fires etc! Good on ya!
+BelligerentWoW Yeah, I totally agree. I just got my new graphics card yesterday and I'm so happy I did my research before buying. I ended up going for the MSI Gaming 1080 rather than EVGA. MSI actually put a finned metal plate over the VRMs that's directly under the rear most fan, so the VRMs should always stay under 100°C.
the only affected EVGA cards are the ones made before September....
Another great video. Would a Kracken G10 fit on this?
EK block would be better perhaps. Though as he said if you're going to do that then just get a pre done solution or mod a cheaper card.
He is asking about a 30USD AIO waterloop solution..and BAM! EK waterblock, and pump and reservoir, hoses and much more...suddenly 800USD setup on the cooling..cmon man..
Ask NZXT if the G10 fits.
Why down clock, might as well buy a brick then? ;)
Taking GPUs apart, the long way lol
What is the difference between gddr and ddr ?
There really isn't much difference at all. The G just stands for "Graphics" basically. GDDR "IS" a bit more complicated to produce in most cases since it relies of an extra doubling of data rate over what typical DRAM uses; but for the most part they are quite similar. You can directly compare GDDR5 to DDR3 in terms of performance and specs etc.. for example, the "true" speed of most GDDR5 on GPU's is around 1,750 to 2,000mhz (which comes out to between 7,000 and 8,000mhz when you apply the double data rate etc..) which is roughly equivalent to the speed of average DDR3 RAM sticks (1,600mhz, 1,866mhz, and 2,133mhz are by far the most common speeds) And the new GDDR6 RAM that will come out in 2018 is basically equivalent to DDR4, it will run at more like 2,666 - 3,000mhz standard (Which is between 10,664mhz and 12,000mhz with DDR's applied) which are the same speeds that most DDR4 system RAM runs at.
that's a sexy pcb
Now they're burning up
steve help me pls
