ASRock RX 7900 XTX Taichi 24GB OC Unpacking / Three 10cm fans violently dissipate heat
The next-generation flagship Radeon RX 7900 XTX GPU from AMD features the RDNA 3 architecture and employs a chipset design with a 5nm GCD and 6nm MCD. This allows AMD to select the appropriate semiconductor process technology to achieve the desired performance-per-watt target. The GPU also includes upgraded 2nd generation Infinity Cache, Ray Accelerators, new AI Accelerator units, dual media engines, and the cutting-edge Radiance Display engine.
The Radeon RX 7900 XTX Taichi comes with 96 CU compute units, 6,144 SP stream processors, 96 RA ray tracing acceleration units, 192 AI acceleration units, and a factory overclock of 2680 MHz. It also features 24GB GDDR6 and a 96MB Infinity Cache, enabling a memory bandwidth of 3500 GB/s.
However, when using overclocking settings, the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Taichi requires three PCIe 8-pin power connectors, and a 1000W power supply is recommended.
The ASRock RX 7900 XTX Taichi comes with a DIY metal graphics card support frame as an accessory. The frame is supported by a triangular magnet at the base and includes two fixing buckles. When mounted horizontally, the support frame can be placed directly beneath the bottom right of the graphics card or secured in front of the card using the fixed keyhole. This ensures that the graphics card remains stable and avoids bending issues caused by gravity.
The ASRock RX 7900 XTX Taichi sports an attractive and robust armour design. It features three axial fans: two 110mm counter-rotating fans on the left and right and a 100mm fan in the centre. The middle fan also boasts eye-catching RGB lighting effects for an impressive appearance.
On the side of the graphics card, a metal mid-frame cover and numerous cooling fins are visible. The side features the word “RADEON” and Taichi RGB lighting effects. The graphics card requires three PCIe 8-pin power connectors, and an ARGB pin is located near the power socket. On the back panel of the PCIe bracket, there are switches for toggling the LED On/Off and selecting between BIOS Q/P modes.
Ultra-thick cooling fins, V-shaped cut corners, and V-shaped air vents are visible on the front of the graphics card. These features help guide the cooling airflow through the fins more efficiently, contributing to better thermal management.
The metal backplate of the graphics card features the word “TAICHI” and an RGB logo. Additionally, the front has cooling vents that allow airflow to pass through the card, further enhancing its thermal management capabilities.
The graphics card requires a 3-slot installation space, and the metal mid-frame is reinforced with screws and brackets to increase overall structural integrity. The card supports up to four display outputs, featuring three DisplayPort 2.0 ports and one HDMI 2.1 port.
Upon disassembling the cooling system, it’s evident that the metal mid-frame reinforces the circuit board’s strength. The cooler employs a copper base that directly contacts the GPU, and heat pipes surround the memory for effective heat conduction. The radiator’s eight heat pipes guide waste heat to a comprehensive set of cooling fins, which are then cooled by three large fans that actively dissipate heat.
The lighting effect of the graphics card is mainly on the front RGB light ring, the TAICHI light board on the side and the TAICHI Logo on the back.
ASRock Tweak overclocking tool and Polychrome Sync lighting effect software
The ASRock RX 7900 XTX Taichi graphics card comes with factory OC settings, which can be activated by switching to OC Mode using the ASRock Tweak overclocking tool. This enables an automatic overclock to a high frequency of 2680 MHz. Additionally, the software offers preset, Silent Mode, and user manual adjustment modes.
In summary, OC Mode increases the power limit by 10% up to 372W (default is 339W), while Silent Mode reduces it by 6% to 318W. The manual adjustment mode allows users to fine-tune the GPU and memory clocks, fan speed, and GPU power consumption limit as needed.
Regarding lighting effects, the front central fan, the side Taichi light board, the Taichi Logo on the back panel, and the ARGB pins provided by the RX 7900 XTX Taichi graphics card can all be adjusted and synchronized using the ASRock Polychrome Sync software. This enables a cohesive and customized lighting experience across the various components.
