Cold Rolled Steel Frame Experience a superior and beautifully crafted frame on the NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 9070 Graphics Card with a Cold Rolled Steel Frame that fortifies the shroud structure and durability while encasing the sides of the PCB for a strong encasement alongside the All Metal Backplate. Integrated Cooling Module Integrated Cooling is an advanced thermal management solution engineered to provide efficient heat dissipation across all critical components of a graphics card. This innovative design ensures direct contact with the GPU, memory modules, and VRMs, delivering uniform thermal regulation. By addressing all major heat sources, the Integrated Cooling Module helps maintain stable operating temperatures, improving overall system performance and reliability. Ideal for demanding workloads such as gaming, content creation, and overclocking, it ensures optimal thermal efficiency under sustained use. Free Flow The Free Flow cooling design is tailored for axial fan systems, featuring an advanced heatsink fin module that optimizes airflow paths. By reducing turbulence and channeling air efficiently, it maximizes heat dissipation, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy thermal loads. High TG Copper PCB The GPU is mounted on to the high-density 12 layer 2oz Copper and high TG PCB to match the rapid speed, high current and increased power requirement of the GPU and memory to guarantee high stability of the PCB during operation. Fan Quick Connect If there’s a fan problem, you don’t have to return the entire card. SAPPHIRE or our channel partners will send out a replacement fan directly to you! That means they’re easy to remove, clean and replace, with just one screw holding them securely in place. Optimized Composite Heatpipe The composite heatpipes are fine-tuned for each individual cooling design with optimal heat flow, efficiently and evenly spreading out the heat to the entire cooling module. Two-Ball Bearing These feature Dual Ball bearing fans, which have an approximately 85% longer lifespan than sleeve bearings in our tests. The improvements to the fan blades means the solution is up to 10% quieter than the previous generation. L-Shape Graphics Card Supporter The L-Shaped Graphics Card Holder is a versatile solution designed to secure heavy GPUs, prevent sagging, and simplify removal of the graphics card from the PCIe slot during upgrades or maintenance. Crafted from durable materials with a sleek design, it ensures stability, longevity, and seamless integration into any modern PC build. Use the rubber tip of the bracket to help conduct the extraction of the graphics card easily and safely when removing for cleaning and maintenance. External ARGB Control Sync Enable the external synchronization of RGB LEDs between the graphics card and the motherboard using the 3-pin header in the tail. Gamers can then choose if the graphics card performs the RGB LED effects independently or if the motherboard acquires control. ARGB Light Bar With tasteful shroud design augmented by ARGB LEDs, you can change the colors of the LED, for a customized design. This can be controlled via TriXX software. Choose from different modes including the colourful rainbow mode or turn off the LEDs.
