Intel Making Moves: Acer Arc A770 BiFrost GPU Review, Thermals, & Tear-Down

Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste (on Amazon - https://geni.us/JMVNtOE ) & Hydronaut for water cooling (Amazon - https://geni.us/Fsray )
Acer is one of Intel's first board partners to enter the market, and the Acer BiFrost Predator A770 GPU is a weirdly designed, unique video card. The BiFrost card runs an axial fan and a blower fan next to it, combining what we'd expect of a 'normal' board partner with what we'd expect of... Acer. This is an important move for Intel, as it needs these partners in order to see successful, wide distribution of its Arc Alchemist GPUs and future Battlemage GPUs. The A770 BiFrost went through our lab for game testing, thermals, acoustics, and build quality.
