More AIB Radeon RX 5700 Card photos leak (XFX, GBT and HIS)
Next week you'll see a number of board partners release their custom Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards. We've already addressed quite a bit of them, and some new ones have surfaced.
The three companies below are HIS ICEQ X2 (yes they do still exists but solely focus on the Asia market), Gigabyte Gaming OC and XFX with their Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II. Have a peek, all cards will get a small bump in perf over reference and 8GB GDDR6 of course.

Hi Hilbert, when do you think a review will go live on the AIB cards?

Are my eyes seeing this right: there is a card dubbed Thicc?
Oh, c'mon.

The first AIB reviews will go up on Monday. Lots of shipments however are delayed due to a Typhoon in the Taiwan region.

Thank you Hilbert. Sad to hear they're going through a typhoon though!

I don't see how those would not solve the noise. They are the same coolers you can find on other cards. Unless they have to spin at 80%+ to cool the 5700 the noise should be fine.
Cant wait to see some reviews to see if the noise issue has been addressed from the blower cards.

From the company that brought you a card dubbed “fatboy”.

Never noticed before, looking at the Gigabyte card, the middle fan's blades are sloped opposite from the other two fans. It is beneficial for the middle fan to be rotating in an opposite direction from the other two fans? Some kind of dust buildup deterrent?
Edit: Went to Gigabyte's site. Supposedly provides smoother air flow. Interesting that it was purposely setup that way.

Lol, I had 2 of those over years. And those were only cards which managed to die on me.
If you really want blowers, go for reference. I have strange feeling that in some cases reference will prove to be better than AIB version.
