The to die of our graphics card GPU, is the hardest part. It's a place where they all transistors And that allows it to work properly. So, any damage that happens to it can mean that the GPU can't work. If any of you are riding older AMD processors, before the advent of Athlon 64. You will know that the main problem of these types of species is that they were dead exposed. Also that it was very easy to damage it by placing and / or removing the heatsink from the processor.
So what is a metal frame?
Well, it actually has several Functions:
- On the other hand, it is blocking PCB the graphics card is displayed in the area where the GPU is connected. Since it has been transferred to the PCB, the more likely it is that the welds between it and the PCB overlap. This, for example, is always a problem with dedicated graphics cards for certain laptops.
- They defend themselves to die of the GPU. As we have just mentioned, the GPU graphics card has been introduced. The steel frame helps to distribute the pressure produced by the screws to bind to this die. So that it doesn't get hurt when too much pressure is put on one of its sides.
Why are there GPU models that do and do not?
Initially, AMD and NVIDIA GPUs did not carry any sort steel frame around him. There are also many types of them, which do not carry today. Generally, the larger the GPU size and its deadlift, the more likely it is to use a metal frame. But this is not a written truth, as we will show you now.
For example, i NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 They have the same small GPU. And that doesn't use a metal frame.
However, the GPU for NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Handles this metal frame.
But most RTX types This manufacturer has no metal frames.
On the other hand, AMD Radeon It looks like it might be used in the design of its GPUs. Both the AMD Radeon RX 5700 and the RX 5700 XT both use the frames we're talking about.
Or a generation ago, Polaris, He has also used metal frames on his GPUs.
So, it seems that the decision about using metal frames or not with GPUs, will have to do with that GPU And how it interacts with the translator.
Of course, as users like to mess with our graphics cards. It gives us more peace of mind to have this metal ring GPU It protects her
