9800 x2 Temp XFX R&D

[TulipGTX]

HI i am someone you can know about me from ( http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2140685&enterthread=y )

Anyways i have searched the net and seeing as there is no news on the temp of the upcomeing 9800 X2 well here they are i will not write the whole report only the cooler thing-

"....the cooler is passive in heat pipeing and has a limited port for copper we have achived total HD of over 4.55% - 5% as compared to 6% - 7% in G94 this is also the case for the exposed core and not the lower core (Sub0), as you may have noted we are looking at another G71 core slr problem again if we were to use a twin heat pipe system as we tried with the G71 Twin core the TTL logic IC's are just too cramped.

Our recomendation is to use the referred cooler design and to go with the specified thermal envelope. At max performance level done via. GPU multi-string manipulation we got a temp. value about 10%-12% more than a G92 at the referred speed and 19%-22% at a similar speed......"

The report is 20+ pages i cant type sooo good either...!!!

why not post some benchmarks eh?

Well i cant i am not authorized to even go into the lab i just bring reports and roster to the people who work in floor 7 and 8 as my boss is R & D incharge and liaison superwiser BTW the way i see it we are getting a lot of american ppl just counted 32 guys with special tags on their neck when i was at my desk..

aww, that must be depressing. You can PM me if you find out something . I wonder if employees get free graphics cards when they are released, let me know if you have any discount for me

Thats for the 9800gx2, not the 9800gt?

Give us more! please!

Thanks for the inside info. But I would be really careful about revealing so much info about exactly what your position at XFX is - based on what you've already posted, it wouldn't be hard for someone there to determine exactly who you are, which could cause problems due to the breach of non-disclosure.

As I've said in one of your other threads...don't lose your job over something like this. If you're not supposed to divulge information and they find out you did, they might fire you.

Could also be help accountable in court.

U guys dont worry i love doing this my job is such a boar this is my second job and i dont get that my money... BTW i did not sign any NDD because i was never suppose to know about these things....

OHh yes i have news, news news come on here http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2149356&enterthread=y i will post it there

Because its more than likely a load of bollocks

This poster reminds me of Intelia... I think we all remember her (him). I think his name was David? I dunno, I am aweful suspicious...

I don't think this is that guy. Intelia/Turtle's posts were recognizable because of certain really weird spelling and grammar errors in them that most people wouldn't make. On the other hand, there is someone in the CPU section who does remind me a lot of him.

So this GX2 stock cooler produces a temp value of 10~12% more than the G92 when the 9800GX2 is clocked at its "referred frequencies" which is lower than the G92. Not sure which G92 they are referring to, but i think it could be the 8800GTS (G92-400) since the 9800GX2 uses the G92-450 cores.

While also producing a temp value of 19~22% more than the 8800GT IF the 9800GX2 was clocked at the same core frequencies as the G92.

8800GTS (G92-400) has the core clocked at 650MHz.
8800GT (G92-270) has the core clocked at 600MHz.

Looks like the 9800GX2 will be pretty hot, and due to the nature of its PCB design i doubt we see any 3rd party HSF on the GX2.
