Starting with the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi, you are looking at a triple-slot and triple-fan design which features the Taichi 3x cooling system with ultra-fit heat pipes. The triple-fans adopt reverse spin to lower turbulence and enhance air dispersion. These include 13 fan blades and also get 0dB silent cooling technology, while the heat sink offers an air-deflecting fin design with a nickel-plated copper base and a total of 8 heat pipes.

The Taichi RX 9070 XT is equipped with a high-performance PCB with 16 SPS (100A) power phases & has a single 16-pin (12V-2x6) connector to boot it. The graphics card is designed to feature an OC out of the box rated at an impressive 3100 MHz. The design itself measures 330x140x61mm.

Next up, we have the ASRock Steel Legend series, which features two models, a standard white and a DARK variant, both of which come in a 2.9-slot design and offer triple-fan cooling. All models of the RX 9070 XT get the reference 2970 MHz clock while the RX 9070 gets a factory overclock of up to 2700 MHz. The graphics card measures 298x131x58mm.

Lastly, we have the 2.5-slot ASRock Radeon RX 9070 Challenger graphics card which adopts a triple-fan design with a max boost clock of up to 2520 MHz. This card features a metal backplate, and is cooled by Striped Axial fans which have 11 blades each. The heatsink underneath comes with the same nickel-plated copper baseplate with ultra-fit heatpipes (four in total) and you get a solid array of components in a custom model that measures 290x123x51mm.

These five ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT & RX 9070 series graphics cards will be launching on retail shelves on the 6th of March, so stay tuned for more information regarding prices.
