Gotta say, ASRock is doing some wild stuff with their GPUs these days. So, picture this: they’ve rolled out this “Taichi White” model of the Radeon RX 9070 XT. It’s not just any version; it’s their top-tier kind of deal, clocking at a whopping 3.1 GHz. Now, is it just me, or does that sound bananas? Like, on paper it’s all specs and numbers, but in real life—my head spins at what that kind of speed must look like.
So, here’s the scoop. They already have a white version with their Steel Legend lineup, but now they’re kicking it into high gear with this Taichi cooling biz. Honestly, I’m not even sure why they went with “Taichi.” Maybe they’re trying to give off zen vibes while your computer lights up like a disco. Whatever their reason, this card is just a concept for now, but they say it’ll hit shelves soon. Imagine unboxing that beast.
Anyway, let’s dig into the hardware. The thing is decked out in a triple-slot, triple-fan setup, all frosty white. The fans are 100mm, using what’s called a Striped Ring design—sounds kinda fancy, right? Cooling-wise, they’ve gone all in with some phase-change thermal pads. It’s like science fiction stuff. Plus, it’s got these LED zones, so you can have your own light show. I’m tempted, honestly. Oh, and there’s Dual BIOS and an LCD screen. First time they’ve thrown that on a card, so that’s cool. Or maybe it’s just me nerding out here.
But wait, there’s more! They’ve also shown off the Radeon AI PRO R9700 Creator. This puppy’s packing 32 GB and clocks up to 2920 MHz. Highlights? Blower-fan design, die-cast metal shroud, and a stack of cooling tech I don’t fully grasp, but hey, it sounds impressive. They use this Honeywell PTM7950 cooling solution, which—I won’t lie—I had to Google.
As if all that wasn’t enough, they’ve got these AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT custom cards. A triple-fan Steel Legend OC and a dual-fan Challenger OC. Single 8-pin connector, and they clock up to 3290 MHz. Price-wise, a bit steeper but probably within, like, shouting distance of $299 or $349.
Why do I get so jazzed about this stuff? Who knows. Maybe it’s just the tech geek in me dreaming of building the ultimate rig. Anyway, just thought I’d share what’s buzzing in the GPU world.
