7:40 That is sometimes standard practice for BGA chips, the epoxy is meant to help secure the chip better if the PCB flexes, you'll see this especially in laptops. The chip is still soldered on normally underneath.
Yeah that's a variant of edge bond, which reinforces the underfill, it can be done along whole length or just the corners. It's actually an insanely good idea when you have a huge BGA, potentially some externally induced flex in the board, and high local temperature gradient or large temperature swings. A good supplemental way to help the PCB survive longer with a chip this powerful, and it's one of those adjustment measures that had to be taken after ROHS to restore hardware longevity - together with BGA substrate changes and introduction of underfill. Also good for laptops as you say, because the board flexes a bit together with the chassis and because laptop cooling is generally pretty borderline.
@thecouchtripper Maybe because it's in an Alienware case :D Flex under external forces isn't generally a major concern in PCs, though fan vibration can contribute, it's mostly thermal expansion and contraction, because thermal expansion coefficient isn't strictly equal between different layers and materials, the result is ultimately microscopic warpage. Everything always moves even when you don't see it, and at the scale size of the metallisation structure in the FCBGA interposer substrate, these movements are significant.
That cooler looks very similar to the one I put on the 5700 I got at launch, it was some visiontek r9 390 deal, barely 2 slots, it did great as well. I don't know why they ever put a blower on a card that cooler is no more expensive to make I'm sure. Thanks for the shout out by the way but video needs more tazing
Hey Timmy Joe! I remember that video! It is so weird that they didn't just use something like this. It's clearly not that hard to make a good cooler. The stock 5700 cooler is all brushed metal, so I'm sure it's even more expensive to make.

Thank you for this! I just ordered a Dell 5700 and was specifically trying to find info on the hardware. Specifically the thermal characteristics and the number of power connector pins it needed. I should get mine in about a month!

I built my kid a budget 1080p setup, with a 165hz monitor, Ryzen 3600 on an X570 board etc. One of these exact GPU came up for criminally cheap on Marketplace, I bought it after watching this video. I originally planned to upgrade it later on, but it’s an absolute sweaty beast!! Then I did the BIOS mod to allow for higher MHz and Power limits, I honestly can’t see a need to upgrade it, at least not for 1080 gaming.🤷♂️
I have this exact card with a i5 10400f, a 144hz monitor and a 500w platinum power supply but only a dinky atx motherboard with 16gb of 3600 ram that only runs at 3200 due to the mb. Is there a way you can teach me how to do the bios settings to boost the card a video or written tutorial? Pls and ty Regardless I can play almost any game at high settings but an extra boost would be nicer for more intense games out there.
The glue is so the dye don't move at bake . They probably don't have bracket to hold stuff because they made various type of PCb. You can see the glue is well apply, this is they manufacturing process

I like videos like his, I can’t tell if he is reading off a teleprompter. If he is glad I can’t tell. If he isn’t even more entertaining. This is why I fast forward with channels like hardware unbox or LTT
I actually really like that RX 5700. Dawid says that it reminds him of older GPU's, and that is why I like it. It reminds me of my old X800 from back in the day.
I realize this video is about 4 to 5 months old and you may not have the pc or gpu anymore, but is it possible to bios flash the dell 5700 to a 5700xt?
Honestly that 5700 is all over the place, the clock speed wasn't consistent at all and performance of it should have been better then that. What driver version were you using????
I have been enjoying the content a lot lately! As for some feedback, i am not sure if this is a personal thing. But i would prefer if you talked over the benchmarks while they are showing up. The music and numbers don't do it for me. Let me know if this is just me or not!
This video made me buy that Montec case. Absolutely beautiful.. that and the Fractal North with the wooden front grill which I also bought lol.. I have problems I know
What happens if you solider on the second 8 pin? Does your card blow up or become a nuclear powered gaming killer card. if it's glued on, can you swap it for a better gpu? It would then be a nuclear powered pono hot gpu.
yeah, Dawid, the GPU isn't 'glued on', that's an edge bonding to help keep the chip secured since the solder joints alone aren't enough to keep it on the board. It's still kind of chintzy to do that, though... it should be better secured. I'd expect that on say, an Apple laptop (they do it all the time), but not a GPU.
Dawid Does Tech Stuff : man, I love that little red sleeper OEM RX 5700 8GB card. Do you know if it can be bought as an OEM GPU separately ? I love how it actually looks like an ATI HD 4850 1GB gpu from long ago :).
Hey dawid! Quick question regarding your setup. I have a very similar one, currently im running an AMD R7 3800x, an ASUS Prime x570-p and just bought myself a Kraken x63. Now, my question is, how did you configured/connected your radiator fans? I am asking because i connected the pump to the pump header and the radiator fans to the CPU fans, but they keep ramping up and are very noisy. I installed CAM v4 but the fans wont appear on there to configure their speeds, and if i just control them in the bios, they are CPU temp bound and i really wanted to be able to ramp up their speed based on the liquid temp instead (since thats the main temp in an AIO right?) Thanks for your time!
Love your vids, man. Like, I know you don't need someone telling you "Hey, go spend money!" but a few months ago I was skimming eBay for an inexpensive video card to pick up, and I did note that there were a lot of then-new (well, system pull, "new" in the sense of newly mfg.) 1660 4gb cards that looked even more basic and ghetto than the one from the Alienware system - maybe you could snag something like that and give it a test, too?
I have the MSI 5700 Mech OC, and I love the card, and I'm gaming at 2k. When I bought it I didn't think the extra premium for the XT card was worth it, and I think I was right. Looking forward to getting my hands on the new 6800 or 6800XT.
Weirdly awesome is putting it mildly. The XT version does have the 6pin and 8pin. It looks very similar to what Power Color and VisionTek were putting out but I haven't been able to get my hands on one yet to see if it's identical. Great for smaller cases that's for sure. Comparing it to the Strix and the Gigabyte Gaming OC (3 fan coolers) it runs on par with the Gigabyte but the Asus Strix version does cool better by several degrees. It blows the Asus Evo out of the water though.. which has 20% higher heat on a beefier looking two fan cooler.
The reason the temps are good is due to the fact the GPU is not pushed to the max like 99% usage. Hovers around 60 / 80% and therefor also not boosting to the max clockfrequency.... Known issue with that card @ 1080p unless you crank everything to ultra...
Cancel it. Get the water cooled option. Doesn't matter, AMD, INTEL.. that case needs better cooling than their dinky little air cooler can provide. The water cooling option cools fairly well overall.. and is definitely a needed step up.
Interesting video. Id be interested to see this compared side by side in performance to a sapphire or other top brand RX 5700. To see any possible differences in performance as well as voltage or power consumption.
Well.. I have a Asus Evo 5700.. and the Alienware 5700xt (similar to the one pictured) On Thermals the Asus card performs terribly.. It runs a good 5-8 hotter at the core.. and a whopping 30c hotter on memory. As a quick reference, if my Asus card was running the same program temps are in and around 75core 77junction 105Mem The Alienware one is running 62c 64c 78c. Or there abouts and it's the faster card. The stupid thing about this? One is running in the Alienware chassis and the Asus card was in one of those nice big Thermaltake Level 20XTs with 2 200mm fans bringing cool air in. SAD. I'd lay money on the Asus card using more power as well simply because it's factory overclocked and whereas the Alienware one is not. Apparently there are two different versions of my Asus Evo though.. One made in China, the other made in Taiwan. The ones made in Taiwan are not having the heating issues as the ones made in China.. something to do with the thermal pads used maybe. I dunno. I haven't ripped it apart yet.
G'day Dawid, Buildzoid has a thing for AMD Red Motherboard Graphics Cards so I'm sure he would love thist, also it would be interesting to hear his thoughts in a PCB Breakdown, I bet that 2 fan cooler is a lot less noisy than the Alienware Liquid Cooled RTX2080Super made by Asetek used in the same Alienware case, on that GPU AIO funny how Asetek is always threatening every other AIO manufacturer for anything even remotely like their pump on block design for CPUs, yet they have no problem copying someone else's design & saying it is theirs for a GPU 🤔

15+ years ago ATI video cards had red PCB solder mask by default. MSI mobos did too. Red used to be the hot ticket. ASUS had this baby poop brown solder mask, Gigabyte was mainly blue. ABIT was green or brown and SOYO came out with these excellent silver mobos.
Could swap coolers and add fans to reference cards...I had a gtx580 that had no cooler ...artifacted...I baked it...put a cpu cooler on it..still ran hot so I had a amd 5830..1gig card that quit working and put that cooler on the gtx580...some zip ties and a lil hot glue to keep zip ties from moving and that card runs great now!! My gtx hd 5830 :)
This looks like a good graphics card depending on the price but we can't buy just the graphics card. So maybe it's a good card to watch for in the future on used graphics card sites?
Can you please do a review for a 144hz monitor that cost 60$? I found it on lazada and it says that its a curved screen with 144 hz refresh rate monitor. Souns kinda sus for 60$ 🤣
This cooler looks like one of those early "leaked" rendered images of radeon cards when they went away from blower style coolers BUT didn't actually see the light of day. I would very much like to buy one of these for a sandwich style ITX build. Various cases in which this gpu would perform well comes to mind (dan a4, formd t1, ghost s1 etc.)
I got a Dell XPS 8940 last week with this card in it. I appears to have been bricked after a windows update. In the process of removing it from the MOBO, my fat fingers broke two brittle fan blades. Hence, I cannot return it. Anyhow, I've looked into flashing back an old BIOS, hoping that'll fix it. Anyone know where I can find BIOS files for this model? Edit: Mine is the RX 5700 XT version.
This is why I like Saturdays.

I need to see GPU-Z readout of that GPU. It might be an OEM only SKU that is cut down in someway or another.
This looks like a good graphics card depending on the price but we can't buy just the graphics card. So maybe it's a good card to watch for in the future on used graphics card sites?
Can you please do a review for a 144hz monitor that cost 60$? I found it on lazada and it says that its a curved screen with 144 hz refresh rate monitor. Souns kinda sus for 60$ 🤣
Real thinker why AMD would put this on cards for prebuilts while still using a blower reference design
This cooler looks like one of those early "leaked" rendered images of radeon cards when they went away from blower style coolers BUT didn't actually see the light of day.
I would very much like to buy one of these for a sandwich style ITX build. Various cases in which this gpu would perform well comes to mind (dan a4, formd t1, ghost s1 etc.)
Red PCB looks superb.
I got a Dell XPS 8940 last week with this card in it. I appears to have been bricked after a windows update. In the process of removing it from the MOBO, my fat fingers broke two brittle fan blades. Hence, I cannot return it. Anyhow, I've looked into flashing back an old BIOS, hoping that'll fix it. Anyone know where I can find BIOS files for this model? Edit: Mine is the RX 5700 XT version.
