I have to say temps are better than I expected, I was afraid this card was going to be a small furnace.
GPU VEGA NANO
- Thread starter VisualStim
- Start date
sorry i am a newbie to this forum
i reserved 3 holes for an external loop when go watercooled-aircooled hybrid
it is a little ironic that a triple AMD plaform using Nvidia Titan style venting holes lol
and there will be a custom FPC cable connect to the pcie riser card to tranfer pcie signal:
Wow, this is perfection. I'm liking these kinds of powerful gaming mini-PCs. About the size of a short Zbox Magnus (actually a bit smaller!) with all store bought parts aside from the riser and case.
I'm stuck at the DMV til the end of time, it seems, but when I do eventually get home i can screenshot GPU-z, so you guys can see all the specs, and run a benchmarking/stress testing program if you can recommend me one.
I've never had the Dell 330w brick to compare to, but the HP brick is gigantic, and square. Certainly far larger than the 180w brick that came with my Alienware laptop.
Came across this new review:
Probably far more in depth than anything I can provide. Looks like it does throttle pretty hard.

Fan-tastic! Can you please let me know where this blower can be sourced from? Thanks!
Check this:
Delta is Thicker one of 25mm,sunon is in 12mm thickness .i think they are used in AIO cooling,both can be either silent or...violent lol
Looks like the vega nano heats up about the same as the fury nano does under heavy load no surprise there! Difference is the vega nano does use a full vega 56 board so watercooling parts SHOULD be easy to find unlike the nano
This is great! ThanksCheck this:

Is there already a thread here about centrifugal blower fans? If not, I am thinking of starting one. These are perfect for thin custom cases, especially builds in old video game consoles.

Would be fun to organize a SFF Network contest, like bit-tech does for instance.
AMD will probably start getting bored soon and decide to sell a 2-GPU Vega 128.Or just let me borrow one for a couple weeks and I will send it back in (mostly) non-melted condition.
MARKETING SPOOF:
Do you feel like your PC isn't hot enough? Need to waste more of your money on power bills? Well, AMD has the solution for you! Introducing the new Vega 128! Featuring 1000 watts of power consumption and a TDP of 600W, all your first-world-problems will be solved! Buy with a Bitfenix Enso and a complimentary Costco card for maximum effectivity in gaming and eating!
(goes on with Costco food court pitch)
Get yours today! Totally not a ripoff! (shows a GTX 690 with a Vega Frontier edition cooler on it)
What would be really OP would be if someone took a Morpheus II from Raijintek and cut the rear section off of the thing to mod it to a mini card. I can only imagine the overkill!!!
I actually tried doing a blower fan mod to my VEGA56 NANO in a Dr. Zaber Sentry. I had a blower fan facing the back blowing air back in. The problem with this setup was it was blowing hot air back into the GPU. Naturally the stock fan blows air exhausting on both sides. I rotated the blower 90 degrees counter-clockwise in the photo below to face the outside of the chassis instead. GPU core temps remained about the same ~-2C but lowered the overall ambient temp in that compartment.
I do want a higher voltage blower fan though. I picked up a 120mm CoolerGuys blower but it was too large to mount in that section. I've since updated this setup and should have better photos some time tonight.

On another note the temps on this bad boy really are not that bad as long as you can get ample air to breath. The VEGA56 NANO in my Dr. Zaber Sentry in the vertical position running 4K games has my temps around 65c-70c at full load. Not too shabby. The issue is when you have that chassis in the horizontal position with the fan facing the floor with minimum height clearance for fresh air.
An open test bench experienced the sa,e temps of around 60c-70c at 4K level settings.

Benchmark say's "HIS" brand, it's not. I guess it's not marked correctly globally atm.

Very well-done! You should see the size (and weight) of this heatsink from my Pentium 4 PowerEdge: https://www.flickr.com/gp/165204374@N04/5FU7Tj
It is heavy AF for something the size of the palm of my hand!
Now that's one wonderful looking copper heatsink. if that can fit on the Nano with minimum modding and attaching a blower fan with cfm of the gods then that would be an interesting mod for sure.
For the VEGA56 NANO it looks like there are four screws securing the shroud. I'll check later on tonight.
Sadly, it's not vapor-filled and it's not very fin-dense either...
On the other hand, with a Noctua 110 CFM fan, everything would be perfect...
Seeing Guryhwa setup I have to ask to all of you: does a bare blower fan pull air both from top and bottom?
