ASRock Launches New Radeon RX 7900 XT and Radeon RX 7900 XTX Graphics Cards Fully Passively Cooled with Vapor Chamber

As graphics cards have evolved, we’ve become accustomed to products with two or even three fans. However, ASRock shows that it’s possible to create efficient solutions that are completely passively cooled. The new Radeon RX 7900 XT Passive and Radeon RX 7900 XTX Passive models are cooled by a vapor chamber, aluminum heatsink, and backplate. Unfortunately, this also means lower boost and gaming clocks for the GPUs.

ASRock has introduced two new graphics cards for workstations, the Radeon RX 7900 XT Passive and Radeon RX 7900 XTX Passive. These models are fully passively cooled via a vapor chamber, aluminum heatsink, and backplate. There is a 12V-2×6 power connector on the board.

The ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XT Passive is a graphics card that measures 261mm long, 111mm wide, and 40mm high, making it a dual-slot card. The GPU clocks up to 2025MHz in game mode and 2395MHz in boost mode, which is similar to the base model versions of ASRock. Compared to the Taichi version, these values ​​are about 200MHz lower. Cards Radeon RX 7900 XT Passive It is primarily aimed at workstations and multi-GPU configurations, which is why the manufacturer has used a single 12V-2×6 power connector here, which aims to reduce the number of cables and make them easier to arrange.

ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Passive Graphics Card It has identical dimensions and a vapor chamber-based cooling structure, aluminum radiator, and backplate. The GPU clocks up to 2270MHz in game mode and 2500MHz in boost mode, which is 180MHz to 240MHz lower than the top-of-the-line Taichi unit. However, these results are similar to the base models from ASRock. In both cases, there are three DisplayPort 2.1 connectors and one HDMI 2.1 on the I/O panel. The manufacturer has not yet revealed the pricing and availability date for its new graphics cards, but they should hover around the prices of ASRock’s base offerings.
