AMD certainly impressed with the performance of their new Radeon RX 5700 series. However, now it’s time for the custom cards to shine! We’ve got our hands on the new Gigabyte Gaming Oc edition of the Radeon RX 5700 XT. That means an aftermarket cooler, overclocked out of the box, and ready to rock. It deploys the well trusted Gigabyte Windforce 3X cooler. It may not innovate when it comes to design, but it’s a cooler that’s proven more than capable in the past. With five copper heat pipes, alternate spinning centre fan, zero RPM modes and more, it should unlock extra performance from the RX 5700 XT chipset.
Of course, Gigabyte did a little more than stick a cooler on the top. The card now features their improved power phases and MOSFET design. Gigabyte brand this as their “ultra-durable VGA” hardware. Of course, this should result in better power delivery and stability to maintain the cards overclocks. They’ve also added a full metal black plate, power indicators, and a little RGB lighting,
“The WINDFORCE 3X cooling system features 3x 80mm unique blade fans, alternate spinning fan, 6 composite copper heat pipes, heat-pipe direct touch and 3D active fan functionality, together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures. The middle fan spins in reverse to optimize airflow for heat dissipation , enabling more efficient performance at lower temperatures.” – Gigabyte
