ASRock introduces passively-cooled RX 7900 XT and XTX with vapor chamber heatsink and slightly lower clock speeds

ASRock Radeon RX 7900 XTX Passive 24GB.

Most high-end GPUs feature three fans or an AIO to cool down the extreme heat they deliver. But ASRock found a way to do this without fans or liquid cooling with its just-announced Passive Series graphics cards, featuring the RX 7900 XTX Passive 24GB and RX 7900 XT Passive 20GB GPUs.

The 7900 XTX and 7900 XT feature a vapor chamber heatsink to efficiently move heat from the GPU to the aluminum cooling fins. The cards also use an aluminum back plate to provide more structural strength and possibly reduce sagging caused by the heatsink's weight.
