ASRock adds Radeon RX 7900 XTX & 7900 XT GPUs with a completely passive cooling solution and vapor chambers for system integrators.
ASRock First To Introduce Passive-Cooled Radeon RX 7900 XTX & RX 7900 XT GPUs
ASRock, today launched two new editions of the AMD RDNA 3-based graphics cards in the Radeon RX 7900 lineup. The newly launched graphics cards are the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Passive 24GB and the Radeon RX 7900 XT Passive 20GB. Both GPUs offer a fully passive cooling solution, featuring a Vapor-Chamber heatsink, properly grooved for high airflow. These designs are similar to the ones showcased by ASRock at Computex which are meant to meet the demands of AI customers.
The heatsink features a V-shape cutting on the end for improved cooling efficiency and covers crucial components(GPU die, VRM, and VRAM section) for passive heat dissipation. The cards feature a single 12V-2x6 power connector at the right edge of the PCB, simplifying the cable connection for easier cable management. Furthermore, the cards are provided with a metal backplate to provide more durability to the GPUs.

12V-2x6 Power Connector
Efficiency Cooling Fins
VAPOR-CHAMBER Heatsink
Stylish Metal Backplate
Multi card For Accelerate Computing
The passive Radeon RX 7900 XT/XTX cards support multi-GPU collaborative computing for higher performance. Since the cards are dual-slot and measure just 261mm in length, these are ideal for system integrators where everything needs to be packed inside a small area. Being fully passive in cooling, the cards won't produce any noise whatsoever but will still offer competitive performance by bringing the clock speeds of the reference design.
Both Radeon RX 7900 XTX and Radeon RX 7900 XT cards are identical in design and dimensions. They are based on the Navi 31 GPU die but feature different specifications, including VRAM config, clock speeds, TDP, Stream Processors, etc. As per the information provided, these models won't necessarily be in the DIY segment and are likely to be seen as OEM-exclusive in system integrators.
Apart from graphics cards, ASRock also produces desktop motherboards, mini PCs, and gaming monitors, offering competitive features for enthusiast users. Its latest additions are the two new 180Hz IPS gaming monitors and the first thin Mini-ITX motherboard which offers support to Ryzen 9000 65W CPUs.
