In this one, we're working with Malcolm from the Thermal Engineering team and Qi (PM) to talk about power design, thermal design, transients, cables, and more for the RTX 4090. This is the last of the 4090 FE videos for now, though we'll have more GPU reviews soon (including partner models) and some AM5 Ryzen 7000 content.
Watch the other video with Malcolm on thermal design (and cutting the 4090 cooler in half) over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4lHgSMBf80
