Taking apart the ATI Radeon HD 5970
Bit-tech har i deres seneste artikel lavet et meget specielt projekt, eller de gennemgår faktisk bare det største nuværende grafikkort fra ATI på markedet, HD 5970 der som sagt består af 2 kerner og i sagens natur er et Crossfire produkt på et kort. De har simpelthen skilt kortet ad for at vise os almindelige mennesker hvad der gemmer sig inden bag de store plader og køleren så alle bør kunne forstå hvordan HD 5970 kortet er sammensat og fungerer som det hurtigste kort overhovedet til dato.
It’s that time again! New, very expensive hardware has arrived in the bit-tech/CustomPC labs and Richard gets to break it take it apart to see what’s inside. Like a seven year old with a screwdriver and an overzealous engineering gene the new and exceedingly rare ATI Radeon HD 5970 gets taken apart so we can all see what AMD’s latest and greatest has going on beneath its Batmobile cooler. We’re also interested to see what’s different this time round compared to the other Radeon HD 4870 X2.
Since the door to our offices is too small to get this long card through, this Sapphire HD 5970 was actually lifted in by a crane earlier this morning. Taking it apart is simple enough: to start with, there are several screws on the back which require two small Philips head screwdrivers of slightly different sizes.
That done, the aluminium back plate peels straight off, but to get the heatsink off you need to remove the two bracket restraints enforcing heatsink contact on the two Cypress cores and two screws on the PCI bracket too.
