That's quite expensive, shame it's only compatible with reference design though.

Hmm not sure whether it is expensive its about the same price as a DIY bundle from OCUK only difference is you get the GPU block not the CPU block plus its a 360mm radiator. Add a CPU block to it and some extra piping and its not that badly priced. Perhaps.

Furry muff not looked into it massively.

No I've started to need to stop got itchy upgrade fingers.

Luckily for you only true water cooling is the alternative with your GPU.

I've got my brothers 6800xt Tuf to do this weekend. See how that's improves his temps. The stock cooler is very good though to be fair.

Feeling frivolous?Or the Toxic
That's good, I was not sure how good the Tuf cooler actually was as not many reviews about.
There is a review of the 6800XT by Hardware Unboxed and its the 2nd best air cooled card behind the Merc. Mainly because they used the Strix cooler, and fans on the Radeon Tuf, instead of the cut down version that was used on the Nvidia Tuf.Feeling frivolous?

Seems like the 30-35° delta that I was seeing on the stress test between GPU temperature and the hotspot temperature on my Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6900 XT has dropped to 26 to 30° after the last two updates. It’s hitting about 72° with a hotspot of about 98-101 degrees.
Previously if I was seeing 70 to 75° on the GPU the the hotspot would be between 100 and 110°
in order to preserve the warranty I think I’m gonna wait to re-paste it.

I say put liquid metal on the GPU die and a bit on the cooler cold plate. Live for today Doc!
For tomorrow our warranty is voided and we bend over to receive thy comeuppance!

Good showing there, looks to be the fastest GPU overall. Why aren’t they reviewing the XTXH version though? Could add another 5% onto those scores.Guru3D has put their PowerColor Radeon RX 6900 XT Red Devil review up.
