Excellent!As an addition to the above, I'm happy now, the Pulse is much better than the XFX MBA card, boosts higher, undervolts happily, ram to 2750, core to 3100 so far and hasn't missed a beat, I'm very chuffed. Cooler is better (obviously) and my junction temps with the above settings on +15 power maxed out so far at 81 deg with core at 65 - happy with that for £930! (even though it was cheap, still too expensive for what it is!)
Very nice. What's the asic?
As a "victim" of the faulty cooler, it seemed to be a very nice card, obviously damned by the "fault" part of it - Was a shame - I'd personally only recommend the MBA now if you had a waterblock to put on it - Just in case - It wasn't fun waiting from Launch day when i found the fault to yesterday for my faulty card to be replaced with a Sapphire Pulse (which although bigger, is a MUCH nicer card) because the MBA cards are mostly out of stock.Is the 7900xtx mba worth a punt or is the potentially defective cooler not worth the risk?

That sounds promising!Well I am informed our next batch has been pre-tested by AMD before shipping, so if this is the case then any fresh stock should not have the issue. The original number I was expecting did reduce by around 11% in numbers due to the cards not passing the cooler testing.
Get the Pulse if they are a similar price (unless you need a short card) - more power, quieter, faster, more power headroom with 3 x pcie - Its a night and day difference IMOThat sounds promising!
Thanks @GibboWell I am informed our next batch has been pre-tested by AMD before shipping, so if this is the case then any fresh stock should not have the issue. The original number I was expecting did reduce by around 11% in numbers due to the cards not passing the cooler testing.
Both great cards, one is fat, one is long, similar specs but I personally would go for the Merc.Good Day Lads,
Got a question, If you had a choice between a merc and a red devil (xtx versions both) which one will you choose?
Got both of them in my country for same price.
I go for Red Devil, the Merc is fine but the fan noise is a bit too loud for the price. But the Merc has a higher power limit if you want to push the card more.Good Day Lads,

Which water block you go for?Nice one just bagged a waterblock for the Pulse with 20% off - Sadly ETA is March
I would go Merc to, I'm on my second one and both have been great cards. Though both have been really quiet and never been loudBoth great cards, one is fat, one is long, similar specs but I personally would go for the Merc.
