The 3090 Ti Heat Problem: Supersized Cooler Tear-Down of EVGA FTW3

Dealing with a 500 W heat load isn’t trivial, and EVGA’s FTW3 is tasked with doing as much for the NVIDIA RTX 3090 Ti GPU. In this one, we tear-down the cooling solution that handled it. Sponsor: be quiet!’s Silent Base 802 Grab a GN toolkit (in stock & shipping now) or Modmat here! The EVGA RTX 3090 Ti FTW3 is massive, but it is built very well. The cooling solution is able to handle the immense amount of heat that NVIDIA is generating with its GPU, and although we still think you should buy something else (simply because of the price vs. the performance gain over, say, anything else -- even an ’old’ 3090), we think it’s worth looking at how well this one is built.
