The Radeon RX 6000 Phantom Gaming lineup from ASRock features an updated design and modern looks compared to the Radeon RX 5000 Phantom Gaming lineup. The cooling has been upgraded with new fans, bigger heatsinks and a more premium look.
The ASRock Radeon RX 6750 XT Phantom Gaming graphics card is huge and requires a lot of space. The cooling shrouds on all cards extend beyond the PCB. The back of the cards features a solid backplate that looks stunning. The backplate offers a lot more functionality than just looks which I will get back to in a bit.
In terms of design, we are looking at an updated version of the Phantom Gaming 3X cooling system and heatsinks. ASRock has really upped the game in a short time since their entry in the discrete GPU segment with the RX 500 series lineup.
The new heatsink looks great with the main changes being the shroud and heatsink design which retains an aggressive shroud design on the front and a combination of three fans. Two of the fans on the card are colored black while the one in the middle is a white-colored design. All fans have a acrylic texture.
Coming to the fans, the cards actually features the brand new Striped Axial system. The fans deliver an enhanced airflow to optimize cooling from not only the stripe structure on each fan blade but also the polishing surface on the bottom side.
The fans are outfitted with 0db silent cooling technology which means that you can undergo silent operation under light workloads. The temperature profile is set to 60C. The card also features full use of ASRock's Polychrome Sync RGB technology which looks great in action.
I am back at talking about the full-coverage, full metal-based backplate that the card uses. The whole plate is made of solid metal with rounded edges that add to the durability of this card. The brushed matte-black finish on the backplate gives a unique aesthetic.
There are cutouts in screw placements to easily reach the points on the graphics card. We can also see the Phantom Gaming logo on the back which looks stunning. Additionally, thecard has vents on the backplate that can push air through the backside of the PCB for further airflow.
With the outsides of the card done, I will now start taking a glance at what's beneath the hood of these monster graphics cards. The first thing to catch my eye is the humungous fin stack that's part of the beefy heatsink that the cards utilize.
The large fin stack runs all the way from the front and to the back of the PCB and is so thick that you can barely see through it. It also comes with the new air-deflecting design which I want to shed some light on as it is a turn away from traditional fin design.
The air deflecting fin design helps guide the airflow to go more regularly and quickly to enhance the cooling efficiency through the V-shaped cutting fins and the V-shaped air vents. The heat pipes are consolidated to maximize the contact among each other and also the GPU baseplate for the optimized heat dissipation.
The GPU baseplate makes use of a nickel-plated copper surface which provides a premium copper base heatsink design, the direct contact area to the GPU would be maximized to improve thermal transfer effectively.
To top it all off, ASRock uses their exclusive Nano Thermal paste which is said to offer a higher thermal interface and heat transfer compared to traditional TIM applications.
ASRock adds extra protection to its impressive PCB by including a reinforced metal frame on the side to protect the PCB from bending.
I/O on the graphics cards sticks with the reference scheme which includes three Display Port 1.4a & a single HDMI 2.1 port.
As for the PCB, the card uses a dual 8-pin connector to boot and features a 12-phase VRM. There's also a switch on the PCB which can be used to disable or enable the LEDs.
