I stumbled upon ASRock’s showcase the other day, and wow, their “Taichi White” model of the Radeon RX 9070 XT really caught my eye. They’ve got these 9060 XT custom models too, but let’s focus on this Taichi White beast for a sec.
So, where was I? Ah, right. ASRock’s not just sticking to the usual white theme with their Steel Legend stuff. Nope, they’ve decided to go even fancier with a high-end version sporting their famous Taichi cooling system. And the clock speeds? They’re talking up to 3.1 GHz. Crazy, right?
Now, picture this: the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi White OC. It’s a concept now, but trust me, it’s gearing up to hit the shelves someday. This baby’s powered by the RDNA 4-based Navi 48 GPU and it’s kinda like the sports car of graphics cards with that boost clock. Seriously, I can’t even.
This card’s all about features too. It’s got a triple-slot, triple-fan design, all white and sleek. Those fans are 100mm each, doing their thing with a Striped Ring design. The cooling? Oh man, they’ve slapped on the Taichi 3x solution with these wild phase-change thermal pads. And LEDs. Don’t even get me started on the LED zones — all flashy with the Polychrome Sync software. Plus, there’s Dual BIOS and — wait for it — an LCD info window. Yep, ASRock’s first in their Taichi series.
Oh, and don’t forget the Radeon AI PRO R9700 Creator they showed off. It’s a hefty 32 GB card rocking the same Navi 48 GPU core, reaching up to 2920 MHz. It’s got this blower-fan design with a die-cast metal shroud, a vapor chamber heatsink, and an ultra-fit heatpipe. All packed in a neat little 2-slot design, using the Honeywell PTM7950 cooling solution. Fancy, right?
ASRock didn’t stop there. They also introduced their AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT customs, like the “Steel Legend OC” with its triple-fan and the dual-fan “Challenger OC.” These bad boys have a single 8-pin connector and can hit 3290 MHz. Being custom designs, they’re bound to cost a tad more but should hover around the $299/$349 US MSRP. Feels like a lot? Yeah, but that’s ASRock for you.
