For several days we were very busy leaking GeForce RTX 40 and today we have something very big, the first pictures the cooling system which will theoretically use this new generation of NVIDIA graphics cards. I’m sure many of you have already said that “this sounds familiar to me.” You were right, what we see in the pictures is practically the same cooling system that the green giant mounted on the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, albeit with nuances.

The first noticeable difference is based on contact between GPUsits key components (VRAM and VRM) and the radiator, which he seems to have improved in the new block on which the GeForce RTX 40 will be mounted. The second important difference is in the rib density of this new radiator, which will use the new generation of NVIDIA graphics cards, which is clearly better than the GeForce RTX 3090 radiator.

those differences they are not a coincidence, and its similarity to the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti cooling system is not. Finally, said the graphics card also served as a “test” for the future development of the cooling system on which the GPU AD102 will be based, a chip that will use GeForce RTX 4080, GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4090 Ti.

This leak also allowed us to confirm the presence of the same double fan which we saw in the GeForce RTX 30, and how good the results came from NVIDIA. These fans are placed in opposite positions to perform the task of supplying and extracting air from inside the graphics card in a differentiated manner. In the attached picture you can also see decorations with a distinctive “RTX 4090 Ti”, a detail that only enhances the credibility of this leak.

Does it make sense for GeForce RTX 40 to repeat the GeForce RTX 30 cooling system?

I have tried perhaps all the graphics cards that NVIDIA has released within the GeForce RTX 30 series, I only miss the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti and I hope to pay off this debt very soon and I can no doubt tell you yesIt makes sense, for several reasons.

The first is the GeForce RTX 30 FE cooling system is highly efficient and quietthat is, it works very well, and with small changes that NVIDIA would make to the contact base and heatsink density, the cooling needs of the GeForce RTX 40 should be met without any problems.

Secondly, it must be borne in mind that this cooling system made it possible one of the most attractive and iconic designs, of all graphics generations that NVIDIA has launched so far. You already know that “when something works, don’t change it.” All in all, I’m curious how well this cooling system works, with those modifications, on the powerful GeForce RTX 4090 Ti.

Before completing and in case anyone doubts the veracity of this leak, I recall the source it’s the same one that leaked the GeForce RTX 3080 cooling system at the timeand he said the medium was absolutely right, so it deserved a lot of credibility. If all goes according to plan, the GeForce RTX 40 debut will take place in mid-July, although it is still unclear which NVIDIA models will be introduced first.

He will probably arrive first GeForce RTX 4080, GeForce RTX 4090 and GeForce RTX 4090 Ti, and that lower models will arrive in the coming months. In terms of selling price, I think this new generation will be a bit more expensive than the previous one, but also much more powerful, as we will tell you in this article. The article from the original source (Chiphell) is “revised”, which in my opinion gives it even more credibility.
