No graphics card review is complete without evaluating its temperatures and thermal load. The ASRock Radeon RX 5600 XT Phantom Gaming series comes with two/three fans on the shrouds. The triple fan variant that we got to test features 0dB fan technology and also has an extended heatsink that should help sustain higher heat output of the Navi 10 GPU.

Note – We tested load with Kombuster which is known as a ‘power virus’ and can permanently damage the hardware. Use such software at your own risk!
