ROG Strix Radeon™ RX 6700 XT OC Edition 12GB GDDR6 is a cooling and power-performance juggernaut. Axial-tech Fan Design has been enhanced with more fan blades and a new rotation scheme. 2.9-slot design expands cooling surface area compared to last gen for more thermal headroom than ever before. Super Alloy Power II includes premium alloy chokes, solid polymer capacitors, and an array of high-current power stages. MaxContact heat spreader allows 2X more contact with the GPU chip for improved thermal transfer. A reinforced frame prevents excessive torsion and lateral bending of the PCB. FanConnect II equips a hybrid-controlled fan header for optimal system cooling. A vented backplate prevents hot air from recirculating through the cooling array. ROG STRIX | Radeon™ RX 6700 XT TAKE FLIGHT The ROG Strix Radeon™ RX 6700 XT merges an industry-leading cooling solution with high-end power performance and additional creature comforts. Beneath the surface, a massive heatsink is cooled by a trio of Axial-tech fans that utilize a new rotation scheme and specialized roles for central and auxiliary fans. At the heart of the beast, top-shelf capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs effortlessly deliver hundreds of watts at a millisecond''s notice. A host of convenient features, including a Dual BIOS switch, 0dB mode, FanConnect PWM headers, and metal backplate, make this frame-crunching colossus an ideal choice for DIY builders. FANS | BIGGER, BETTER COOLING This generation, our Axial-tech fan design has matured with an increased blade count on all three fans: 13 on the center fan and 11 on the auxiliary fans. The center fan''s extra blades and full-height ring provide boosted static pressure to blast air directly onto the GPU heat spreader. The barrier rings on the side fans have been slimmed down to allow for more lateral intake and to provide better airflow through the massive cooling array. HEATSINK | MAXCONTACT To get heat up off the die and into the heatsink array, we''ve engaged MaxContact technology to polish the surface of the heat spreader and improve smoothness at the microscopic level. The extra flatness allows for better contact with the die for enhanced thermal transfer. HEATSINK | 2.9-SLOT DESIGN The heat spreader draws heat up into heatpipes that carry it through a fin stack that fills most of the card''s large, 2.9-slot footprint. DESIGN | FIERCE SHROUD A striking shroud with metal accents mirrors the design aesthetic of ROG and ROG Strix motherboards. Mixing surface textures and materials make a statement when vertically mounted and lit by chassis LEDs. For those who prefer a sleeker, more subtle look, the greyscale colorway allows it to seamlessly blend into the build.
