ASUS Prime Radeon™ RX 9070 XT OC Edition Graphics Card User Manual

1. Bukatu daview

The ASUS Prime Radeon™ RX 9070 XT OC Edition Graphics Card is engineered for high-performance computing and gaming. Featuring PCIe 5.0, HDMI/DP 2.1, a 2.5-slot design, axial-tech fans, dual ball fan bearings, dual BIOS, and ASUS GPU Guard, this card delivers robust performance and reliability. It is designed to provide optimal heat transfer and enhanced durability for demanding applications.

• Axial-tech Fans: Features a smaller fan hub for longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward air pressure, improving cooling efficiency.
• Phase-change GPU Thermal Pad: Ensures optimal heat transfer by effectively filling gaps between the GPU and thermal module, lowering GPU temperatures.
• 2.5-Slot Design: Offers broad compatibility with various PC builds while maintaining effective cooling.
• Dual-Ball Fan Bearings: Designed for durability, lasting up to twice as long as conventional sleeve bearings.
• 0dB Technology: Allows for silent operation during light gaming or low-load tasks by stopping fans when GPU temperatures are below 55°C.
• Dual BIOS: Provides selectable performance and quiet modes for flexible operation.
• ASUS GPU Guard: Applies adhesive to secure all four corners of the GPU, reducing the risk of cracks.
• Protective Backplate: Reinforces the PCB for structural rigidity, preventing flex and protecting components.
