Inside a GPU Die: Exploding 2080 Ti GPUs by Overheating, ft. TiN
7,677This video shows you what the inside of a GPU looks like. Using 3 engineering sample 2080 Ti Kingpin GPUs, we show why overtemperature protection exists.

Our previous video with TiN talked about his DIY video card mods: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewkVNoMbcCc
This video shows the inside of GPU silicon, including the layers between the solder balls, the substrate, and the GPU die. The idea started when we saw a customer's KINGPIN card with an exploded GPU die in the center. TiN set forth to demonstrate the dangers of disabling overtemperature protection without any cooling, although it took a few attempts to get a spectacular failure (and, ultimately, a hammer helped us show the inside of the GPU). This allows you to see what really happens if a GPU overheats.
