I believe they are inductors, part of a switch-mode power supply to reduce the voltage of incoming power to the level required by the cores (AFAIK ~1V).

- zokier 11y agoThe definitely are inductors (being labeled "Lxx" on PCB is a sure tell-tale sign), and the small 48ish pin packages near them are most likely SMPS controllers. Seems bit crazy that there are total of 18 of them, but I suppose that's what you gotta do when you are pushing possibly hundreds of amps of current.
- steckerbrett 11y agoMakes the normal buck converter arrangement too. Controller, inductor, diode. The GPU will be taking like half a volt so things are definitely going to be getting toasty.
- zokier 11y agoThose big two-legged components look like caps to me though.
