      All "gaming" laptops are trash in some way.

The only exception is Eurocom, their laptops use actual desktop CPUs and have more NVME and RAM slots.

    It makes sense if you look at the pcb and heatsink layout. Blower is throwing air over the pcb heatsink parallel to the fins and out the back keeping stagnant turbulent air off critical components. Then the blow through is putting as much cfm as possible through the open heatsink and is not sppashing back onto the pcb. Makes sense to me. Same concept as arctics freezer ii and iii aios.

    nah it does totally have the potential to have the benefits of both. the fan is there for actual cooling, and the blower is just a built-in exhaust for the whole system so it doesn't get too heat-soaked. the fan being there for cooling allows the blower to run at a slow enough rpm that it isn't noisy. in theory anyway.

  • @slavislavchev5341

    I feel like trying to revolutionize a cooler design after this many years is a fool's errand. It's not like the laws of air mechanics and thermodynamics have changed. The best you're going to get is something comparable to what already existed, which is what we're seeing here.

      The laws of air have changed to restrict drones in certain zones.
      I'm sure the fan community has something to say about this, and apparently it is saying "blower"

      @MLWJ1993 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's not really about the temps that make negative pressure questionable. It gets a lot of dust sucked into the case & the dust filters, eventually seriously clogging up the limited airflow there already was. Positive pressure fares so much better in that aspect.

    • @musashigundoh
      @musashigundoh 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That heavily depends on how far you're willing to stretch the definition of a 80/120mm case fan - since technically, those over-9000 RPM Deltas they use in servers and mining ASICs count as case fans too.

  • @vulcan4d
    @vulcan4d 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Blower fans are still awesome at keeping the GPU thinner and it blows the hot air out right away. With that secondary fan the blower doesn't have to run as fast therefore reducing the noise so this is a clever design though there is still room for improvement.

      As a computer technician that opens a lot of laptops I don't recommend Acer to clients. They seem to use cheaper plastics and skimp on small things like minimal damping protection for the hard drive/SSD and the least amount of screws to hold it together. Acer do make some good high-end and gaming laptops and some good monitors but their mid to low end laptops are rubbish imo. Dell, HP, Asus, Lenovo, MSI and MS Surface are much better although HP, Asus and Lenovo mid to low can be hit or miss. Dell seems to be good throughout and Surface only really start in the mid range and are good also. MSI make great gaming laptops as you probably know.
      I mean no offence, I just recommend a better brand that's all.

    My daughter wanted to play Pandora, so I got this card as it included the game for free (I paid a LOT less.. sorry you had to take such a hit on the $$). I paired it with a Ryzen 7 7700x and 32gb ddr5. It was nothing but a crash fest, and I gave up. The combined heat in the case was so bad that I had to run it with the cover off.. eventually, I replaced that PC with a new build from various spare parts around the shop. She now has a Ryzen 3700x, 64 GB 3200 rams, and an RX 6700 xt. The new machine has been ROCK solid and is working great for school and play. She's threatened physical violence if I try to change it again ;).
    As for the 7600, I put that in a 5600x Alienware that I built to run MS Flight Sim and Realsimgear G1000 panels for pilot training. The visuals and performance were great. I mean, REALLY good. There were some weird driver issues occasionally that required restarting the sim, but they were few and far between. The card did NOT crash, however.
    Lastly, my 7700x system runs great with 6000 series AMD cards or 3000 series Nvidia. I'm considering making it my new primary workstation and switching from Intel to AMD. What are your thoughts?
    Cheers
    Rick

    I have just purchased an Arc A770 version of this, only tested on one game - world of tanks - temps went up to a max of 77 c after about 1 hour of use, mine is a very good airflow case. Ive recently set the fan curve to not run till 55 c and it seems quite happy with that when not under load.
    Case in question is a Thermaltake level 10

    Dude, I would *love* for you to make a video doing a breakdown on how the number of degrees away from junction temperature empirically impact longevity.
    Like, I'm sure there's some kind of function: 10 degrees away from junction = 2 year life span, 20 degrees = 5 year, 30 degrees = 10, etc.
    I've seen a few of your videos where you don't seem to understand opportunistic boosting and squawk and cry about how it's "hot" without explaining how it being "hot" is bad.
    I can save you a bit of time: silicon degrades prematurely due to excessive power.
    The excessive power degrades the copper traces by causing the atoms to break off, leading to an eventual open circuit and death of the IC.
    You can see this in the Intel 13th and 14th gen.
    They're not crashing and degrading because they're "too hot". They are doing so because of excess power being supplied from the motherboard to eek out tiny benchmark gains.
    Repeat after me: If the Intel chips were run under liquid nitrogen and running at 3 degrees C, they would degrade just as quickly as if they were running at the edge of their junction temperature limits.
    Repeat it again: power, not temperature.
    Again: It's not temperature. It's power.
    Temperature is the *byproduct* of high power consumption. High power consumption is not a bad thing if the IC is designed to take that much power.
    The problem with the Intel chips is that they're designed for a 125 watt TDP (not a power consumption value, but a value to use as a proxy. It's the approximate heat output at base clocks.)
    If you take a "125 watt" (not really) part and pump 250 watts through it (yes really... really 250+ watts, some boards are allowing up to 999 watts for up to 4096 seconds or 8x the design power for an hour... when the turbo timer is usually 28-120 seconds.) and it runs at 20 degrees C under liquid, will it fail more quickly or less quickly than the same part running at 125 watts and 90 C under an air cooler?
    (Hint: Yes... obviously.)
    Stop. Obsessing. Over. Arbitrary. Temperature. Values.
    Also, while you're at it: NAND store data for *longer* with *less* wear due to requiring *LOWER* temperature inputs when the NAND flash chip is HOTTER.
    NAND flash runs LESS EFFICIENTLY requiring MORE POWER to save and maintain data when it is at a HIGHER temperature value.
    The purpose of the heatspreader on an M.2 SSD is to move the heat FROM the controller (which yes, does throttle under extreme heat... but it also has a junction temperature meaning, again arbitrary values are meaningless without context) *TO* the NAND flash... to heat up the NAND flash.
    New HAMR hard drives are so-named because they are... say it with me "HEAT-assisted magnetic recording". They HEAT UP THE SURFACE OF THE HARD DRIVE INTENTIONALLY to write more data in less space.
    (PS, hard drives heat death is due to *uneven* cooling which causes the lubrication to break down, not the absolute temperature.)
    That's why, again, arbitrary temperature values are meaningless without context.
    Sincerely, a technical architect (8 years), data center architect (6 years), and computer hardware engineering major.

    The cooling should be more than fine. The blower will keep the ram and gpu cool while exhausting the heat out of the ATX case. The standard fan/heatpipe/fin combo will handle the vrm/power handling components. This will cut down on a large chunk of the heat building up inside a ATX case. The key thing that will be needed though is for the case itself to have a proper fan intake to get enough cool air in the case for the card to utilize, while also having decent exhaust to dump whatever minimal heat does build up.

  • @Squilliam-Fancyson
    @Squilliam-Fancyson 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Think I got the idea behind this cooler design. With the blower the heat gets ejected through the IO plate outside the case, which makes the coaxial fan more effective in blowing through the finstack. it therefore does not rely that much on open spaces in the shroud. An aircooled CPU should also benefit from this cooler design as the air the gets blown through the graphics cards is cooler.

    The one lesson that I learned over the last two weeks is - lay the PC case on it's side when installing a new GPU! I used to always install one with the case being upright, but the 4080 performance GREATLY improved when I installed it with the case laying down! For some other reason, the rest of my system sped up and performed much better as well!

    Interesting concept for GPU cooling. I'm not surprised it didn't work out too well with the stability, I wouldn't be shocked if temps rose too high on some part fo the card your overlay wasn't watching.
    Probably a good idea to prototype a card like that to see how well it works, but it doesn't look like it was a good idea for a public release.

    Ejecting high heat right out of the case might make sense also assuming that airflow is limited. If some of the components produce less heat cooling the hot parts with hotter air and cooler parts with cooler air could net a benefit to going to a full internal circulation build. Also theres only 2 fans. End of the day you have to test both configurations in representative cases with all their other fans.

  • @OldManBadly
    @OldManBadly 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Since the 7600 appears basically to be a reference card style build, the only trick is the cooler. I think you are correct, the "best of both worlds" solution here is for ACER's own use. When they make prebuilts with horrible airflow, the blower part of the card will do a lot to mitigate the airflow problems, and the more normal fan will "help". Considering the amount of heat pipe, fins, and copper, it seems like even if the blow through fan wasn't working at all that there would still be significant cooling going on. So I think they have built a very good card for their own business. It is way too expensive for what it is, though!

    From the wording in the video it sounded like you did the tear down before the benchmarks? I would have preffered you do the benchmarks before, so we get an idea of stock performance. Like Acer might have used lower quality thermal paste, and so you gave the Acer card an "upgrade" when re-pasting it. Also, the 7600 isn't _supposed_ to crash a lot, so your card constantly crashing made me wonder if you re-assembled the card correctly, or even damaged it. Either way, a missed opportunity to see if the card performed better after a re-paste.

    The thing with this bifrost cooler design is (and Dawid does talk about this), aren't most blowers enclosed on 4 sides to form a little tunnel to shoot the hot air out? Does it still work if you make little cutouts all over the place to increase the airflow of the axial cooler?
