  1. I wish I had put the thermal pad information into the video. I measured it as follows:

    1.0 mm for the memory

    1.5 mm for the capacitors

    2.5 mm for the voltage regulators

    3.0 mm for the backplate

    I plan on including the thermal pad information in all the future videos. Thank you again. 🙏

  2. I had to delete my previous comment because I found out I do have coil whine on my PNY 4090. There was a noise that was bothering me on my desktop and I thought it was my AIO pump but sadly it was my GPU.

  4. My one complaint is the support bracket they sell with it is useless as it contacts the 2nd fan. Scared the shit out me when I turned it on. Turned it off quickly and removed the support bracket

  6. Fantastic teardown of the 4090 👍👍 My PNY Rtx 4090 is now 6 months old. Cool and quiet, Zero coil whine in my experience . My old card was a Gtx 1070 strix oc and i loved it but she starts to show it's age . Specially in starfield 😅

  14. How is your PNY for coil whine? It is minimal or zero? and if minimal in what kind of situation and can it be heard over the closed PC case?

  17. Why a waterblock?The card runs cool as is I went from an Evga 3080ti ftw3 ultra with a hybrid kit on it to a PNY 4090 and runs cool and quite but you can't adjust the power limit which sucks so why water cool it?

  22. I have this card, and even though it's considered as the most "basic" of the AIB partner model list. I don't regret getting it because versus the more expensive AIB models your only getting a neglible 1-3% difference gain even if overclocked. On the other hand the difference in power consumption when overclocking is definitely not worth the electricity bill just to get an extra few frames. The cooling on the PNY is better on the FE model with the same performance. My opinion is if you want to save money and get a 4090 as close to msrp if you can't find a FE and not planning to overclock, then I would recommend this one. I also seen based off from other people's experience that this model doesn't have as much coil whine as the other AIB models too. For my experience I can vouch for this card as people seem to forget PNY has been around for a while and is very underrated compared to the other more popular brands. Everything else is just bragging rights, all I care about is how it performs, its thermals, and minimal coil whine issues. At the end of the day it's your gaming experience that matters, its still a freakin rtx 4090 which last I checked is destroying all the other cards out there on the market right now.

  26. Hello everybody.

    Does anyone know if the model PNY GeForce RTX™ 4090 XLR8 Gaming UPRISING EPIC-X RGB

    (SKU: VCG409024TFXMPB)

    also have as PCB design reference?

  27. Bought one in December running it in conjunction with a 13600K on a Z790 with C14 DDR4…runs amazing. Idle 30c gaming 60-65c. Cyber punk 4K on psycho/ultra runs butter smooth. Was super lucky and got mine from Best Buy at retail.

  28. Do you need anything special if you get the 4090 pny OC? Like, do you need a different component. I don’t really know that much about it and I can get the OC on MSRP but I am not sure what it means.
