ASRock Supercharges Radeon RX 9070 XT With Up To 3.1 GHz Clocks on Taichi, RX 9070 Steel Legend & Challenger Series Also Revealed
ASRock has unveiled four new designs for the AMD Radeon RX 9070 series, which include the top Taichi variant, followed by Steel Legend, Steel Legend Dark and Challenger custom designs. These models all feature top-of-the-line components and cooling solutions.
Starting with the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi, you are looking at a triple-slot and triple-fan design which features the Taichi 3x cooling system with ultra-fit heat pipes. The triple-fans adopt reverse spin to lower turbulence and enhance air dispersion. These include 13 fan blades and also get 0dB silent cooling technology, while the heat sink offers an air-deflecting fin design with a nickel-plated copper base and a total of 8 heat pipes.
