little known feature, contrary to its name, the LEDs are actually RGB not just red/orange
Well that’s lame. We all know red means fast.
@@theplanetarian i get the meme but RGB still means you can choose red for the diode to be just that lol
Yeah i just figured it out after i get my 6700 xt red devil and more better because i can set it to purple
Pretty much the only people who know this have bought red devil versions of powercolor products before lol

Linus: Buys a huge house and renovates it to meet all his wants.
Also Linus: Continues to work in the unfinished corner of the garage...
He seems to be sitting on/in front of items I would consider furniture. Sure, it's not as nice as the rest of the house, but maybe the family had people over since it was Linus's day off.
Because his house will never be finished, he's a Jack of all trades house is a bag of problems. So the 7900xtx will suit Linus well since he likes to spend so much time fixing stuff
Well, that's his work shop area.
Who wears the pants in that family???
I think its a camera thing, its better to have space where the cameraman can manuvre around a lot, and any other space in the house would be too restrictive. also kids. I doubt the kids bother linus when they are filming in the garage, since the garage isn't the play-den, living room, kitchen, bedroom, or computer room, or theatre room.
A friend of mine has an RTX4090. This 7900XTX also has a completely overengineered cooler. Got to say, I think I like overengineered coolers. It's so silent.
Side notes: Dual BIOS options rarely have big effects out-of-the-box. They're mostly presented this way just to provide a pro forma "legitimate" justification to AMD/Nvidia, for deviating from the reference design by adding "dual purpose" on-substrate _hardware_ features. Sold as toggles between low noise and max performance modes. But in practice are explicitly meant to accommodate hard core overclocking, by providing one or more additional discrete bios chips, to serve as safety fallbacks in case a hacked or modified vbios fails to flash properly or won't post. It's a warranty claim, who's liable, plausible deniability thing.
As to the "only 2" DisplayPort (2.1) ports. DisplayPort supports _daisychaining_ of multiple displayport compatible displays. And with 2.1, you can daisychain up to 3x high refresh 4k HDR displas, off a single port from the gpu. Also Radeon does not limit their "ordinary" gpus to max 4 displays like Nvidia's GeForce does.
I'd still prefer having the option of 3 DP outputs to be honest. I guess I'm in the minority with 3 cheap monitors for work, and 1 HDMI TV for gaming, being hooked up to the same PC, but then at over $1000 there's really no excuse not to support it.
@@seeibedo you not understand what a daisy chain is or did you just not read what you replied to.
@@alexmills1329 He specified cheap monitors for a reason. All of my cheap monitors have DP inputs; none of them have DP outputs to support daisy-chaining. You can't daisy-chain if your monitors don't support it!
@@alexmills1329 ??? If none of my monitors has daisy changing it's no use to me. The fact is I couldn't use this gpu in my current setup which is ridiculous for the price
@@seeibe You are indeed a minority.
In general though, there _are_ DisplayPort _hubs_ available, enabling running multiple DP (and HDMI) monitors that do not have their own DP output - off a single DP port from a gpu. Technically speaking it operates as daisychaining does, without needing the monitors to support daisychaining. Wiring wise, it's closer to hooking the monitors up "the traditional" way. There is another bonus though: if your PC is further away from the monitors/displays - as with "proper" daisychaining, only the sigle "master" cable from the GPU to the DP hub (or first monitor in daisychain), needs be that long - the rest only need to reach from the display to the hub (/previous monitor in chain). Long DisplayPort cables are quite expensive, especially high bandwidth ones, and you do need those for the master link (and the first 1 or 2 in proper daisychain). Because it needs to have the bandwidth to carry the signal of all the monitors that follow, in that chain. Using a DP hub, only the cable from the GPU to the hub needs that max bandwidth.
Linus saying sorry so much at the end was the most Canadian thing he has ever done.
Red Devil GPUs have always been a good choice
they've always been worse than the equivalent Sapphire model.
@@twoeggcups Hard to beat Sapphire tbh
Always? Lol
Except for the horrible coilwhine.
Got a 590 still chugging along from them haha
I have always loved the PowerColor cards all the way back to the absolutely ridiculous HD7990 Devil 13 with dual GPU and 500W TDP on a single 3 slot card. Something interesting about that card, is it has a small LED at the back panel to indicate when their overclocked mode is active.
It was $1000 in 2012.
For amd cards I always pick up power color because I have never regretted using them. Always more dependable than the reference cards and never had to deal with recalls
the red devils tend to have really beefy coolers, my 6700 runs passively most of the time
Holy shit!
Nice.
Same amazing card
True, got a 6700xt from them and I NEVER hear it unless it gets above like 30% util at which point I can't tell if I hear the gpu fans or the case fans
6600XT also has an oversized cooler. It’s so massive you can barely fit it in an H510 which should not have an issue with card height, yet the power connectors are pinched against the glass lol.
Oh right, Linus said he would switch to AMD for this generation. That explains why this was filmed at his house.
Tax write off
Damn purposefully switching to a shittier product. Bold.
@@dougr8646 amd isnt shit tbh
@@dougr8646 important context, he said that before the 7000 series launched.
@@dougr8646 Imagine simping for a company that hates it's customers and sees them as cash cows
i wish there were more videos like this for AMD cards.
i have a RX 6700XT Red Devil and im pretty happy with it, its crazy silent and very cool operation, even on the Junction temperature, never surpass 75C, with GPU maintaining around 60C at maximum, and the fans are barely spinning at all, even here in Brazil on the summer when its crazy hot, Powercolor Red Devil series is one of the bests AMD cards for now, for me, even better then XFX and Asrock, and close or equal to Sapphire
I got an XFX RX 6600
I got a Red Devil 7900 XTX as well and I'm very stoked that you can already pre-order a water block for it from EK. Since AMD allows you to play with voltage maybe there will be a more impressive gain when the card is water cooled.
I am pretty sure you can't mess with voltages on this card other than undervolt if thats what you mean.
@@NetworkNinja84 Dude what are the difference between red devil, hellhound , sapphire and xfx merc319 merc 310 etc i dont know which to choose
I love the reading nook under the stairs! It looks so cozy 😅
I really don't know much about AMD cards, let alone the AMD-exclusive AIBs, but I've been told that if you buy an AMD card, you go either Sapphire or PowerColor. Kinda like how you _usually_ couldn't go wrong buying EVGA cards (RIP).
No idea if this is true; just what I hear people say, lol.
Amd reference cards are not bad, but it’s true that most people buy sapphire powercolor or xfx .
Whoever told you this was spot on. Both Sapphire's and Powercolor's cards are usually the absolute best you can get from AMD, though XFX's offerings aren't lagging too far behind either.
It's true but unfortunately depending where you live, the RMA/warranty of these cards is lackluster or straight up non existent so you're kinda forced to buy a Gigabyte or ASUS card if you want RMA within your country
Spot on. PowerColor is one of the largest vendors for AMD, just not that big globally. Mostly sold in the Asian region. Still. One of the best performing cards with multiple price tiers per product. They have something for everyone.
To me, red devil is best known for making sure all their gpus take up at least one more slot than other oems.
Interesting to see this video being done in Linus's at home lab.
Where I live, the Red Devil is about $1650 and the reference is anywhere $1300 - $1500 (if you can even manage to find either of them in stock somewhere)
I finally found one of the reference cards at $1350, a full month after the release, going to try it out and if it doesn't work then I will probably bite the bullet and go with a scalped AIB for somewhere $1500-1700.
Might be a fun test to see how an OC can push this card beyond the specifications and how it compares to the OC of a reference card
I have the red devil xtx and you can push it past 3000 without a hiccup. I play mw2 at 3100 core, 2750 mem, 1100mv 1440p competitive settings. At extreme settings voltage needs to be around 1115-1125 for stability. Gaming temps 46-48cgpu, hotspot around 70c
I bought this card today! My story is I bought a 6800xt 3 weeks ago @ micro center. Long story short, something was happening with the gpu and Capture One's magical brush (computer generated masking like mask subject in LR and PS). C1 would always crash and destroy my workflow. Went back to micro center and picked this card up. In capture one the magical brush is pretty much instant, and so much more accurate! The red devil 7900 xtx is well worth the $ from my perspective.!
Gotta love powercolor getting more western coverage finally. They are a huge vendor, just not globally like sapphire or xfx.
3:55 That face... "Hide the Pain Linus"
i was able to get the last Powercolor Hellhound RX 7900 XTX in my country and its been awesome so far, the red devil was like 300 NZD more but there wouldn't be any available to buy for a few months
Why put 3 DP ports on there if only 2 are supported simultaneously?
if one broke, it would be nice.
I think that caveat is when it's running in UHBR modes, he said that within that same sentence.
3 is bigger than 2
I have the hellhound, the lower end model of this, and love it to death, wish I could’ve had the red devil but it physically wouldn’t fit in my case, whereas the hellhound just *barely* fits.
Red devil cards are giant man. The 6600XT barely fits in an H510 because of the height. The power cables are touching the side panel lol
Which case?
@Akoshus you can get right-angled adapters for PCIE 8-pin connectors.
@@serenahansen2394 it’s an 8+6 pin card so that won’t work unfortunately. Card still fits, not a fire hazard like the new connector is, so I am not complaining, just saying these cards are massive and can cause surprises with mainstream case sizes.
I have the RX 7900 XT Powercolor Hellhound and running it on a Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master with the Ryzen 9 5900x and no special cooling - just a AIO CPU cooler and no special overclocking, and currently hold several 3Ddmark 1st place records on several benchmarks.
Yeah.. Iam perfectly happy with my PowerColor Red Devil 7900XTX, but its just the standard, I didnt get the Limited, but, as he said the limited is the same card with two extra gadgets, like the design backplate and a magnet to put on your case..
I have one 4080 Founders Edition, and is too cold, and the vents are so silent, im very happy with that one.
The Red Devil card looks so damn cool!
The difference in looks is definitely worth the up charge. The better thermals and noise is just a bonus

@@johns.1898 Yes you Are.

@@neondemon5137 Shill harder
This is the one that I happened to have picked up at Microcenter when I was doing my new build a few weeks ago.
Also ran into the exact same issue where the backplate had to be removed because it hit the M.2 cover right behind it.
I had a Red Devil 5700XT and it was a good card but had coil whine. I do like the Red Devil branding though. I went with Sapphire Pulse when I got a 6800 and its been a great (and very quiet) card.
HOW DID YOU NOT OVERCLOCK IT?!
I know you guys haven't done GPU overclocking in a long time, but still would've been cool to see.
I really need to see a gpu with the new solid state cooling
Just recently got my hands on this and I have to say that I'm using all three DP outputs. I'm connecting them to three separate 1440p monitors. One is at 60Hz and the other two at 165Hz. Not sure if the note that only two of the DPs can be used at the same time was for higher bandwidth uses?
I’II appreciate you for being active on my channel, message me to claim your price on DISCORD 🎁🎁🎉🎉
We want to see new $500 budget pc builds or something similar.. lots of us don't have a $1000 unfortunately. By the time we pay for power and rent and water and fuel for the car and repairs to the car/home. Here in Australia life is expensive and takes me a year to save $500 lol so a budget Ozzy build would be great to see.. the idea of making budget builds videos from different countries worldwide would be perfect and its a tone of videos for you to make.. as price is different from country to country
A few OC settings I've found stable on this card. Mem 2600, GPU clock 2935 (in settings), Fan curve 30-65%, 15% power limit and undervolt to 1075. Got about an 18% frames boost in Furmark while being super stable.
Congratulations 🎉🎉, inbox me on DISCORD to claim price🎁❤🎁
I have the PowerColor Red Devil RX580 and it is great. Super happy with Powercolor so far!
you know we've hit the limits when you need an additional support for your gpu
Can I get thin gpu from 2040 that plays 4k 240fps? Without heat.
@@fynkozari9271 Yes. Just survive for 10 more years and save up your money!
I'm actually running my Red Devil 6900XT without the support as we speak (I've nowhere to put it) and the sag is pretty minimal. They're extremely solid cards physically, on top of everything else. As for torque on the PCI-E slot... I prefer not to think about it.
What is the test bench are you using? Nice stickers on your Framework laptop. OC BIOS doesn't mean it is hugely overclocked out of the factory though, you need to Do It Yourself.
Got mine a couple of days ago. Non Ltd. edition. Didn't see the merit in that and didn't want to get all that extra packaging. It was just a £10 difference anyway. Exact same card, but you still get that GPU support stand thingy in the box.
Why do I feel like I haven't heard of PowerColor in ages? They made the ATI AGP GPU in my first gaming PC build back in the mid-2000s. Memories...
You must be an Nvidia guy these days. PC and Sapphire are always top contenders.
My Red Devil RX580 is still viable for most games even if I don’t use it, and man the stock cooler did some work. Had gotten it right before the crypto boom that ran its worth up.
only 2 dp can be used at the same time? then what's the point of the 3rd one?
also: why does it require 3 8-pin? PEG is designed for up to 75W - so 75W + 2x150W = 375W - with a target below that no need for the 3rd lead
I love how he kept thesticker on the back of his laptop from that video.
I was worried Linus was gonna get his hair sucked into a fan for a minute
Was happy to randomly find this on the shelf at Microcenter a few weeks ago. No listing; just sitting there. Working like a charm.
Yeah well being the 2nd fastest card ever made, I'd say it probably does lol.
I have the 2070 super and have been eyeing out the 4070ti, but this is obviously a better card than the 4070ti.
Such a beast of a card really
@@GregoryShtevensh ya i really want a 4090 but it's just so fricking expensive for my budget and the 4080 is also up there in terms of pricing I will probably this or the xtx reference.
@@pedoslayer275 I feel the best option for me (am4 platform) is the 5800x3d and a 7900xt... I don't think going higher ( 7900xtx, 4080) will be much of an improvement unless I went AM5 or lga1200
Just a thought. When you have a super fast banner ie the Mercedes thing, don't put it on the bottom because when I pause to read it the timeline thing gets in the way. thanks
I just installed the red devil standard the other day, love it
I have a Red Devil 6900XT and I've been actually quite impressed with it. They did a great job, and feels like a Premium product.
If I could afford it, I’d probably wait for the liquid Devil version, as long as there’s no glued covers that block the screws like on the 5700XT Liquid Devil, I had to clean out the block and now it will never look the same again 😢
Love me some PowerColor, my Red Devil RX580 was SUCH a champ - but that's a big 'Oof' for sure, bummer man. Especially when factory liquid cards are so damn expensive, really should've taken better care when they designed it.
Still jealous of it though! lol, my XFX THICC II 5700XT(w/ the revised THICC III cooler) has been flawless and is one of my all time favorite air cooled cards(so damn sexy), but damn are all of the Liquid Devils cool as hell!
@@RyTrapp0 they dont designe the cooler for the liquid devil, its "just" a EK watterblock with there own logo. but yea, glue on the scews is something i dont need or want
Heyy just wanted to ask, why not show the raytracing performance? I mean, since you're there, would've been good at least to know how it looks. Love the content, thank you!
Yeah I felt like he just glossed over the fact that the xtx is actually good at ray tracing. Not quite as good as the more expensive 4080 but its at least on par with a 3090ti in most games.
I now have the Red Devil in use for about 2 months, I really like it , although the drivers sometimes crash... I found the issue though, turns out there are transient power spikes which overload my 850w PSU..... the highest recorded so far is 582w, although generally in 99.9% of cases it peaks at 480w, no matter the power settings or undervolting, seems to be happening when the GPU changes power states, so could be a firmware or driver issue
Hope AMD fixes their own cards soon.
I hope that the 7700 and 7800 series will be a good deal, while being more efficient than the 7900 series
These are the last GPUs I'm waiting for. I really hope they are good and I hope that they will be cheap and available where I live too.
Me too. Althogh I probably will never buy AMD gpu (rtx voice, dlss, ray tracing, omniverse, rtx remix, better vr support, nvenc, almost no issues with any games/ emulation, etc), I don't want nvidia to become a monopoly, I don't want to buy a card for $1000+ for 30% improvement over last gen.
Undervolting these cards by 10% will shave off around 100w while keeping same performance. If u tune boost clocks right with undervolt, it will give more performance than stock clocks using less power.
@@RafiYagami Nvidia wont become a monopoly as AMD has most of the console market supporting them to keep their PC efforts funded.
I wouldn't hold my breath, look at the 4060 Ti, it's extremely disappointing (3070 performance with only 8gb vram still) and looking at how overpriced the 7900 XT is, I don't believe AMD will do anything good in the midrange market either.
This gen just sucks for budget, better to go for last gen cards in the $300-700 price range imo.
Damn PowerColor is one of those companies that should've gone under a decade ago but held onto the Red Devil branding for dear life and went for it
EDIT: Maybe not "gone under," but been purchased for sure. It has a knockoff-y name and knockoff-y logo font. Its minimalistic style is en vogue now, but 10 years ago you needed to have a logo that kicked ass
I mean Sapphire and its Nitro line up is still kickin too
Even before the RD series came out, previous PowerColor stocks are actually decent tbh. I've own 2 back then and never had a problem (Non RD series).
Why? Their products have been good for me since like 2005.
PowerColor used to be my goto back in the day, glad they are still kicking around!
I think there is never any difference between card in performance. And yes you can get better power delivery which helps further over clocking but that just doesn't deliver too much as they are already pushed pretty far.. all you are really after is the better quieter cooling solutions
Props to red devil doing really good job with their cards
*PowerColor
Looks like Linus rolled straight out of bed
What's the monitor he's using? The stand looks really convenient.
I love the 125w idle powerconsumption with a high refreshrate 4k displays makes me happy everytime
that was fixed like a week ago, lol
I had so much trouble with the PowerColor 5700XT. Hopefully things are a bit better with this generation!
I like your optimism. But defective products entering retail happens with products from all manufacturers. Was your warranty claim handled properly? It's one of the reasons I like brands like EVGA and Seasonic. Even though I've personally never had problems with their products.
Same, I bought one of the red devil 5700xt when it first came out and then a little while after. the card died.
i've got the red devil 5700xt and it runs like a dream..?
I bought a red devil oc limited (number 592 out of 1500) I had to send mine back because of no display everything else worked light up and the fans but no display, I contacted Powercolor today and they are sending mine back next week all fixed can't wait for it
Bought a used 3080 for a steel and haven’t use ray tracing once
I love the garage set.
The 12 pin connector doesn't communicate to anything. The 4 extra pins are only grounds to enable extra power on the cards.
"Better" is not a compliment.
No one said it was. They said it was better.
Thanks for rushing here to make this stupid comment.
I have the 6700XT Red Devil and absolutely love the card. It's always silent and performs like a beast.
i have one too. Did you overclock it? Mine has mad coil whine when i have radeon software installed, but is dead silent and more stable when i install drivers only, without the software. What about thermals?
@@alexandrutereify Luckily, no. There is some, but only when I'm in a main menu from an older game. You know, where the fps is uncapped and you can hit 9000fps.
I went with the Sapphire Nitro OC 6700xt card and it's also pretty awesome. There was coil whine/fans revving the first day I had it running but then it sort of broke itself in and I adjusted the settings & voltage in Adrenalin software, it has been really quiet ever since. All the games I could barely run with my previous card now I can max settings in 1440p or even 4k.
The main thing was, it didn't require a new power supply. If I had wanted to spend 200 more for a 6800xt I also would have had to upgrade the PSU. I had intended the 6700xt to be a placeholder until a good 7000 series refresh card came out. But now after using it for months it seems like the perfect card for my current system. I might skip this generation and wait for an 8000 series card instead.
@@mjkittredge I alsof bought mine as a stopgap of sorts. But after running it for a bit, I chose to keep it until propably the 9000 series. It runs all games I want to play on max settings on 1440p. Some, like you said even on 4K.
I really love my Red Devil.
@@Gamepunt_be 6700xt is just such a strong card overall, and the AIBs made it even better. Can't believe so many people preferred to spend several hundred more for a 3070 with less ram.
I'm still going to keep my eyes open for the refresh cards that come out later this year or next year. If they offer a big performance leap for a reasonable price I'll certainly consider upgrading.
That ending was the most Canadian I've seen in a while
JayzTwoCents made a video about this a few weeks back and they mentioned that the ones they got were production runs and the retail will be better improvements to the swappable backplate.
sure listen to the guy who cried about no one watching the videos of him helping a kid center but then yells at everyone for the exact opposite. not to mention he sold product he got for free with cash only purchases to get off having to claim the income/product for tax purpose. the west coast techtubers really have some screws loose, stick to steve and linus.
Just got my Red Devil lmited last week ( Thanks Micro Center! ) It's a beast, but I have to upgrade my case now. 😂😂😂
Corsair airflow 5000d mate, got my 6950xt red devil in it,a noctua nh-d15 cpu cooler on a b650e-e rog board and there's still room for a small family to move in
you have any problems with it? thinking about upgrading from my 3070 to a 7900 xtx but been having doubts because people say amd is not good and talk a lot about driver problems so i'm scared :( but seems like 7900 xtx is the best option at that price!
Powercolor and Sapphire are the best manufacturers for AMD cards. XFX can be decent aswell.
I got one of the Limited edition red devil 7900 xtx cards and i got the watervlock for it ordered from ek i cant wait since it appears to have a ton of overclocking room being limited by the thermals
Please make an updated video on how to get the absolute most out of battery power on windows pcs!!!
Very interesting results. So far my Power Color Red Devil RX 6900xt has been a great investment for my pc. My next card will be just a little shorter so I can use a little bit better cpu cooler , but even using the one I have my cpu hasn't gotten over 60 C at any time.
Got one red devil Limited 2504/3000 batch. Got it up to 34094 graphics score in time spy. 31090 stock. For some reason I keep playing on 7900xtx and 1440p instead of my 4090 rig, even tho 4090 Is much better and 4k, and I am an Nvidia fan boy but do like play with AMD.
i think for one part its because overclocking on this cards is not just " max everything and done". you have to think a little bit and try
is it really that much of a difference most benchmarks ive seen its just the ray tracing that nvidia destroys amd, everything else is 10 to 20 frames of diff. You really think is worth to get the 4090? im still wondering wich one i should get.
@@luismarcoperezthemsel1677 I had same doubts, so bought both. 😆 then still traded red devil for 4090 rog strix. Just get 4090 and you won't have second thoughts.
@@luismarcoperezthemsel1677 unless you really want AmD system, then go for 7900xtx Taichi

Got it at launch. Went into microcenter and they had several left. Best purchase I’ve ever made man I love mine. It looks so cool in the case
Well here in Israel the difference from 7900XTX to 4090 is about 300$... So the choice is obvious to buy 4090 as i did , got my self inno3D RTX 4090 ichill X3

All these massive coolers have me regretting my Hyte Y60 case choice for my current build 😬😭
Don't care about Ray tracing at all
Unlucky
I bought a Sapphire Pulse 24gb 7900 XTX and ended up sending it back. The heat was literally insane and crashing my computer. Gonna just hold out and wait for the 4080ti release...
Sounds like you got one of the reference models with the defective vapor chamber. That sucks. :(
Maybe pay someone else to do it for you
@@TacticalTushie To do what? It sounds like it was a defective unit lol
@@Foggy404 the pulse is not the reference card. User error 100%
“the heat was insane" what does that even mean? Sapphire makes quality cards so I doubt it was anywhere near over heating. And as far as heat coming off the card goes, anyone thinking that makes a card bad is a moron

£1,174.99 here in the UK.... No thank you!

I was so scared he was gonna get his hippy hair caught in that fan.
I've got one and it overclocks like a beast (I've also got a ref model, and that one sucks). I saw a +15% performance increase after overclocking the Red Devil.
I finally got a Red Devil 7900XTX(non- limited ed) MAX power draw Ive seen is 530W while gaming. Highest clocks Ive seen while gaming is 3185Mhz, 89' Max junction temps.( fan control manual Power Limit 15% NO OC ) I LOVE IT!
I love Linus being oblivious to getting killed in the game at the end.
I have a Red Devil 6800XT, and once you undervolt it the thing is dead silent (then you need to underclock a bit to get rid of the coil whine :D)
i ve already bought this card and yess my card has coil wine same like yours but it doesnt matter because u have to listen very focus for hearing the sound. ,i am using with 5800x3d (with corsair 240 aio) and pretty good for now. welldone powercolor. i played 5 games and all of them are ultra and rtx settings on. f1 2022, forza horizon 5, cyberpunk 2077, cod mw2 and battlefield 2042, max temps 64 except bf 2042. i dont know why but when i am playing bf 2042, gpu temps 71-73, cpu temps 75-82 celcius.
all gpu and cpu stock, just cpu with kombo strike 3
I'm confused, why does the card come with 3 DP ports, but you can only use 2 at the same time?
I hate that this video was so short I was kinda hoping to hear opinions based on the other 7900 xtx cards to get an idea which I should be looking into
Linus, remember this: "Should your editorial direction change..."
I have the RX 7900 XT Powercolor Hellhound and running it on a Gigabyte Aorus X570 Master with the Ryzen 9 5900x and no special cooling - just a AIO CPU cooler and no special overclocking, and currently hold several 3Ddmark 1st place records on several benchmarks.
Love the throwback unboxing video
I am actually unhappy with the zero fan speed mode. At least a silent but running fan will ensure general cooling of all parts
you can't afford a $5 case fan but you're unhappy with the features of an $1100 dollar graphics card? methinks you're not the target market.
they should try to uv + oc ing the card to know if the sample at techpowerup is correct
