AMD's Radeon RX 6900 XT Liquid Cooled GPU Leaks at Multiple Retailers

Well i believe it still stands true that a single 120mm rad/fan is enough dissipation for each device you have in your pc. Don't expect cool temps though :D
 
My 6900XT is bouncing around the 2700mhz core mark when gaming, with the memory clocks maxxed at 2150mhz. I think I could boil a single 120 AIO, LOL! :D
 
You could boil a single 120 AIO since the Titan XP. It wasn't enough. TBH it won't be any better than the air cooler, only you are introducing another point of failure. The AIOs they used on the Fury X were absolutely terrible, and I have seen numerous people over the past 2-3 years have theirs die and then they were screwed. Nothing wrong with the card at all, the cooler dried up or the pump failed. Even from day one they were noisy.
 
I've never seen a 120mm radiator AIO for a GPU heatsoak until throttling. A beafy air cooler is usually better, but a 120mm radiator has always been adequate for what it's designed for. They're made for a specific client, not necessarily the enthusiast overclocker. This GPU proves it as it's for system integrators only. When's the last time you saw a pre-built PC with phenomenal overclocking headroom, temperatures, and noise? They're 'bling' computers for people who want something shiny and flashy and put no effort into it. A pre-built system with an AIO 6900XT makes you look cool to newbs. If you're gonna pay the absurd prices for one, you don't care about getting the best card for the money with the best engineering.
