Reverse Spin

The center fan spins reversely to lower turbulence and enhance air dispersion through the heatsink.

Phantom Gaming 3X Cooling System – For Cool and Silent

Crafted for the best balance between the thermal efficiency and silence by all the details

Striped Ring Fan – Designed For Enhanced Airflow

ASRock’s all new Striped Ring Fan get more lateral intake and to provide better airflow through the cooling array.

Air Deflecting Fin – Guide Airflow to Go Through Regularly & Quickly.

Guide the airflow to go more regularly and quickly to enhance the cooling efficiency by the V-shaped cutting fins and the V-shaped air vents.

Ultra-fit Heatpipe – Consolidated to Maximize the Contact.

The heatpipes are consolidated to maximize the contact among each others and also the GPU baseplate for the optimized heat dissipation.

Nickel-plated Copper Base – Maximize GPU Contact Area.

With premium copper base heatsink design, the direct contact area to the GPU would be maximized to improve thermal transfer effectively.

High-density Metal Welding – Improve Heat Dissipation.

Effectively isolate all coverage of the gap between pipe and stacked fins, hence improve heat dissipation effectively.

Nano Thermal Paste – Perfect Thermal Teamwork.

Eliminate the gaps in the contact area to maximize heat transfer and thermal efficiency.

Premium Thermal Pad – Better Heat Transfer.

The premium thermal pad helps to transfer the heat of the components to the heatsink, improving heat dissipation.

Precise Screw Torque – Optimized Mounting Pressure.

ASRock adopts precise screw torque when assembling its graphics cards to optimize the cooler mounting pressure to improve thermal efficiency while avoiding damage to GPU die.

0dB Silent Cooling – Spin For Cooling, Stop For Silence.

The fan spins when the temperature goes high for the optimal cooling, and stops when the temperature goes low for the complete silence.

Polychrome SYNC – Create your own unique colorful light effects.

With the integrated ARGB LEDs, you can create your own unique colorful light effects which can also be switched on and off. It can also be synchronized with your ASRock motherboards that support Polychrome SYNC.

LED On/Off Switch – On or Off? Switch as You Want.

You can switch not only the built-in ARGB LEDs but also the ARGB LEDs equipping with the connected strips/devices at once.

ARGB Pin-header – More ARGB, More Fancy.

With the ARGB pin-header, it can connect ARGB strips/devices to make the lighting effects more rich and vivid.

Reinforced Metal Frame

Enhances the structure to prevent the PCB from being bent.

Stylish Metal Backplate – Solid, Fancy, Cool.

Designed to avoid PCB bending. The fancy outlook makes the graphic card more legendary in visual. It also helps to enhance cooling with the premium thermal pads equipped backside.

ASRock Tweak 2.0 – Pro and Easy-to-Use Tuning Utility.

Provides the smart fan speed control and instant performance tweaking.

8K Resolution Support

Not only can it handles 4K graphics but also supports the next generation 8K video output for the ultimate visual experience.

PCI® Express 4.0 Support

This graphics card features PCI® Express 4.0 support, with a throughput of 16 GT/s and enables two times the bandwidth compared to PCI® Express 3.0. Get ready for the next generation of PC gaming.

106º is pretty bad, my MBA model stays at 80º on the hotspot

We tested the card at 100% load … no throttling and no issues, plus it uses an overclocked GPU. It peaked at 106 but averages around 100, which i think is acceptable.

Winston i heard that several users I dont own this have tighten screw on backplate and got better hot spot temps cause the backplate werent properly seated i dont know if its true . I test a XT tuf hotspot is 79c . Thanks for a good reveiw buddy though.

Ok let me check… maybe I should tighten the backplate a little more 😆

How was it, did you manage to get any better temps with tightening the screws/other stuff. That 106 seems high, especially with the difference between GPU edge and junction temps being 46 Celsius. The reference models are considered faulty if the temp difference is over 40C (and junction reaches 110C). As I already had one such card, I am hesitant to be burned twice (pun intended) by a 7900 XTX 😀

Hi there, Winston you wrote that : ” the ASRock Phantom Gaming 3X cooling solution is doing a great job of cooling the graphics card. This is all thanks to the large heatsink with 6 heatpipes and triple ring fans.” And I had the impression that the ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming 24GB OC Graphics Card comes with 8 Ultra-fit heatpipes, according to the photos displayed on the ASRock website… At least I count 8 pipes on their photo. Can you tell me if I am wrong here…??

Winston 26 April 2023 at 02:38

Actually I recounted … total is 7 heatpipes. I have amended the review accordingly. Thanks 🙏

Heya, for people with bad temps. It seems boost clock is a bit much for the card. I found this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/radeon/comments/16g2p5u/asrock_gaming_phantom_7900_xtx_temps/ people suggest to UC (2300-2400 frequency, 1120mv, 2714 ram and +15 pwr), and then FAN speed drop by 500rpm, also power consumption from around 400W to 300W and loose FPS is like 1-3FPS. Can try this settings for you.
