MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Gaming X Caught on camera
You know it when you checked out my MSI Radeon RX 5700 XT Evoke review, we had significant concerns about the acoustic levels the card produces for a custom design. While addressing that to MSI they made it clear they'd be working on the Gaming X model as well which will be the silent offering.
I was just discussing the Gaming X card with MSI the other day, and we can already tell you that they will be released pretty soon, currently, both the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT models will be ready in the beginning of September (expect around Sep 2nd ). In that timeframe, the cards also will be shipped here for review.
Meanwhile, at Computex the card has been on display in an MSI video, so we can show you what it'll look like, as there are some design tweaks alright.
The photos are literally taken from video frame grabs and of horrible quality. But as always there's a certain kind of a cool factor with an old-school style photo.

Granted, the snapshot quality is poor, and the angles actually show the sides you don't see when the GPU is installed, but I must say this an ugly one.
I do believe that this is an engineering sample used to test the heatsink though.

That huge heatsink alone made a dent in aluminium supply worldwide
Makes me wonder, Navi is really hot or there is something that I am missing here?
My target is an RX 5700, but a silent one.
Thermal density is very high. Die size is "average" and uses a pretty high amount of power, so the heat has a hard time of being pulled away quickly. Larger heatsink + heatpipes helps to a degree to get the cold plate colder, but you can only do so much.

If you want silent and running at highest clocks, you'll want a big, dense heatsink. Kind of like every other card since the dawn of making heatsinks on GPUs :p

So far it seems Navi runs kinda hot, but like most AMD GPUs, you can probably drop the voltage a lot and suddenly the thermal/noise issues just disappear.
