Alright, so there I was, diving into the world of graphics cards—yeah, thrilling stuff, right? Anyway, ASRock just can’t sit still and they’ve come out with something they’re calling the “Taichi White” concept. Honestly, sounds like a martial arts movie. But no, it’s a fancy-schmancy Radeon RX 9070 XT. Go figure.
These guys already have the RX 9070 XT in blindingly white through what they call the Steel Legend series. Apparently, they’re thinking, “Hey, why not make an even snazzier version?” So, they did. They slapped on their cool Taichi cooling system and cranked up those clock speeds. It’s supposed to hit 3.1 GHz. I mean, do we even need that much speed? Maybe for gaming like a maniac, who knows.
So, the ASRock Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi White OC is in the works. It’s all just a concept now, sorta like when you plan to eat healthy and then end up with a pizza. But this thing’s supposed to eventually land in the real world. It’s rocking the RDNA 4-based Navi 48 GPU—I barely know what that means but it sounds intense—with a boost clock reaching 3.1 GHz. Madness.
Plus, it’s got that triple-slot, triple-fan style, all in white. Those fans are 100mm and they’ve got this catchy Striped Ring design. For cooling, they’re using something called the Taichi 3x solution—sounds like a yoga pose—and even fancy phase-change thermal pads. Oh, and LED lights everywhere, because why not? Controlled by something called Polychrome Sync, like my life isn’t already colorful enough. Toss in Dual BIOS and an LCD info window—like a GPS for your graphics card or something.
Now, ASRock didn’t stop there. They also threw the spotlight on the Radeon AI PRO R9700 Creator, which has a massive 32 GB memory. It’s got the same Navi 48 GPU core with a clock speed running up to 2920 MHz. It’s got a blower-fan design, whatever that means, a die-cast metal shroud, and a vapor chamber heatsink for the geeks among us. Honeywell PTM7950 cooling solution sounds like a sci-fi gadget, doesn’t it?
And one more thing—ASRock showed off those custom 9060 XT graphics cards. They brought out the triple-fan “Steel Legend OC” and the simpler dual-fan “Challenger OC.” They come with a single 8-pin connector and can go up to, wait for it, 3290 MHz. Pretty sure that’s faster than my brain on coffee. Given these are custom, you might have to cough up a bit more cash. But they’ll hover around that $299/$349 US range, give or take.
There you have it, folks. Diving into this tech splendor was like raiding a candy store—overwhelming, kinda bizarre, but hey, someone’s gotta keep an eye on these high-tech hijinks.
