Sorry about not showing the temperature test graph when I was talking about Temperatures, here is the graph here - ibb.co/cOWg9S - Thanks for letting us know what you think of this RX 580, I think most people think it was designed for mining, though I stopped testing the mining numbers due to too many people not wanting to see those numbers!
do the asrock cards have illegal "warranty void" stickers on them and do they keep your warranty for thermal paste changes like u showed in the video (legally they should, but one person won't dare to sue them... of course). would be interesting to know and also to point out in vids to hopefully end this practice of bs warranty stickers and such.
Tech YES City I hope more motherboard manufacturers get into the GPU market since they are always selling out due to miners. The more in the market the better the price. Good video man but when are you going to show some liquid cooling builds?
It is true! The only question is if public pressure will change that, if enough AMD-'fans' are angry then AMD might change this policy, if legally possible. Personally I think that it is outrageous for a company like AMD to tell an AIC-partner where to not sell the cards, unless there are legal problems but in that case the law forbids it and AMD can suffice with just giving advice.
Not true its because its pretty mich made to mine and targeted at miners. As to why they dont sell in the eu thats probably why. Its possible they dont meet safety regulations too who knows. People will continue to assume and bash amd for it lol.
Hey Bryan I understand you are saying you want better features. If I were Asrock and making RX 580 cards I would do two models the one you are showing as a stripped down budget model for those that dont need all the fancy frills (I would put better fans that move the same air but lower speeds for better sound) and then have the upscale model with RGB, back plate etc. That way they can cater to the biggest market. great video as always and if Asrock can keep that price reasonable they just make a load of cash.
Yep, it is set to 50/50 or 60w max on the PCIe wired VRMs, you can override this with WattTool. EDIT for clarification, this means the theoretical max is around 240w from the VRM, after that it will run toastier.
It's slightly more efficient since the mosfets can account for the vDroop along the 12v lines easier than if they were to for vCore lines, like on this MSI card. i.imgur.com/8Dp6t1o.png
Tech YES City no worries mate, with this card its probably like a lot of other 480/580 designs where half or so of the phases draw from the pcie slot which isn't ideal since the slot can provide less than the pcie power pin. Other more ideal designs are like the Sapphire Nitro, MSI Gaming and Asus Strix cards where 100% of core power is from the pcie power pin and only the memory is from the slot.
Man, thats a good deal even if the GPU market wasn't garbage right now. MSRP is $229 or something and seeing as its hard to get one for even $400 thats an amazing deal.
Solid review as always! I have only had one ASROCK product, that being a AB350M PRO 4 motherboard and I haven't had any problems with it, seems like a solid product for the price. I have read that this particular board has some issues so I am hoping the one I got doesn't because I put it in a build for a friend. I am always happy when there are more companies making graphics cards because more competition = better performance, competitive pricing. Boom!
Although as a note with exception of GTA V, each card only edged out it's competitor. The language really pushes the idea one car is far away from the other, when it wasn't the case. Either way fantastic job being the first to appear with a review for this!
"It's a late release" What are these ppl on about? It's well timed. Best I describe it as giving a starving man a feast to eat. Used market is a gamble for most.
> Nears 200W of power consumption > "6-phases running from the PCI express itself. [...] The 8-pins plug doesn't have a lot of functionality per-se" I highly doubt this claim, as the PCIe slot is specced to deliver 75W and the 8-pins plug 150W. _Specced._ (Meaning they can deliver more, but that'd be out of spec, and we saw what happened with the AMD cards and the debacle over the high power pulled from the slot.)
Ujiltrom M I doubt that as well. It’s likely that they just rout a very long trace from pcie connector to the vrm. Not ideal since it creates resistance, but it’s asrocks first time so can’t be too harsh
awesome work as usual, mate. it's exciting to see ASRock make a strong entry into the GPU market. i really like and stand by their products. you must share the name of your new fonts in your graphs - they are very clean and easy to read!
I was really happy when Newegg dropped the price on ryzen 7 1700 to $219 and the tomahawk to $74 could not resist as I already had some corsair vengeance 3200 that I had changed in my gaming rig and extra graphics cards and psus. Really happy with the result
Hey Bryan where did you get the tub of GC Extreme? I used to use this stuff religiously, season my oats for breakfast, etc however nobody local sells it anymore. I've resorted to a higher priced Thermal Grizzly for now, which is apparently better.
Very good news. I would like to see premium card, with backplate, premium components and quiet. I have Ryzen 1600x with ASRock mini-ITX motherboard, so I would be happy to buy next gen ASRock GPU for my build. Thank you for review.
Not 7 phases mate, there's some kind of doubling going on there. Check the VRM controller chip spec sheet (along with the other related chips), and how the phases are hooked up.
Prathamesh Patil In our country you can buy a GTX 1070 when the RX 580 lauched, twice the performance and efficiency for the same price, the only downside of Radeon cards is they are expense and perform less than their same priced Nvidia counterparts. SAME GOES FOR VEGA 56 AND 64 THAT ARE PRICED AT 1070Ti and 1080 above and perform less than them and eat a ton of power.
the original price of the 580 was equal to the 1060 the 580 has more memory than the 1060, freesync support, and better driver support and better dx12/vulkan perf
300maze In my country I was saying, it might be what you say in USA, but when it came here through retailers it was 30-35k, that's the price of a GTX 1070 here, freesync as you say yes it's cheaper than GSync, but most people I know just buy a 1080p 60Hz monitor, hook it up with a GTX 1060 and play, requires only one 6pin. RX 580 wants 8+6 pin mostly
Not sure if anyone has posted this already, but you should take high res pictures of the PCB (Front and Back) and send them over to Buildzoid at Actually Hardcore Overclocking so he can do a breakdown/analysis of the board. Seeing as this is a new card from a company new to the GPU market it would be very interesting to see what components they used and see how it stacks up to other cards from other vendors.
Love the review. Asrock make great motherboards & should get into graphics cards. Best to trade the 0db fan feature for RGB lighting and backplate if it is going to be a budget card. Noise cancelling headphones should be used to deal with those jet engine fans at 100%. Seems like a region restriction going on with Asrock for EU and possible the US just like Sony and bluray/DVD discs. Prices in Oceania must be cheaper than Europe and US. Not to mention the trade tax issues between US and China.
Fair to point out as well on Final Fantasy, The overall LOW's and frame times were wayyyyyy better and so its not just about fastest highest frame rate.
Great video, Brian! I also made a video review about this video card and I'm curious about your thoughts on the Overclocking? For me it seems that these cards have good OC potential. :)
Now we need these in Europe! Honestly, fan noise and backplates are a non issue if the price is right. I don't have any details on pricing either but I suspect we will be seeing ASRock playing to it's strengths here, value. If these come out significantly cheaper than the competition ASRock will be on to a winner here.
It's refreshing to see a more basic style card, less gimmicky flashy bits, no back plate. (Plus I like my asrock x370 Taichi) first asrock product, it is pretty good. I LOVE the black and white gear theme) Iwould say the stock thermal paste should be part of the review, and temperature vs noise. Every cooler is capable of good temps, but if it sounds like a jet engine, well.... Meh
i just bought this one new egg for $199.. i have an H81M-HDS mobo so i figured this card would work great. i just hope i can keep it/my pc cool.. might need to buy some thermal paste.
The rx 580 is a good card. I’ve had one since last August and I can run pretty much anything on high to ultra at (2560 x 1080) pixels. I can even push out 4K on non-demanding/older games. If the crypto crazy didn’t happen I’m sure people would hate on it as much. Who wouldn’t wanna play games with 60+ fps on ultra settings for $250-$300
maybe it's the diff maker but my Armor 4gig rx580 comfortably OC's to 1500mhz, and never gets over 50c even under load at a 60% fan speed. should the 4gig be clocking higher then the 8gig?
I have same card, and my RX 588 is very lucky. I overclocked it to 1500MHz with +50mv, and i got even 1520MHz! I try to get 1545MHz on this card, because 1545MHz it's RX 590 stock clocks! My RX 580 will turn into 590))
Why not add a "Phantom" red led labeling similar to what Nvidia does on their fe cards in green, i agree that it should have a back plate, and maybe instead of just the silver paint on the shroud it should have red paint in the front half of the card and silver on the back, also have the ASRock logo be a silver/white led. Or make the led text rgb so the user can choose the color in Asrock's sofware.
Pretty simplistic, I like it. Though I think some better fans would be better so they can move as much air as the current ones but with lower noise levels.
That's not as easy as it sounds.... A lot of it is from the air just moving through the heatsink fins. Designing the best airfoil in the world for that fan would help, but its really going to be loud either way pushing that much air unless you drastically change the fan system. You could do a gigantic blower system with noise dampening multi path noise shielding insulation pumping through to the GPU, but that system is going to be a huge box probably the size of your computer that would need to sit outside your system. I don't think many people would want that... It could be done, but really, you can use a passive radiator to cool those RX cards with a very quiet water pump, its much cheaper, smaller, and easier to do. You need about a 480mmx120mmx80mm radiator with vertical fin orientation, and you should be able to cool it enough. that's just based roughly on some of my testing. My next silent cooler is going to be a car radiator capable of cooling the CPU, and mutli-GPU (have 6 GPU blocks on it, enough for my main system and my testbench, which I may just bolt to the side of my main system case). I'll probably run duel HX1200i platinum PSUs for my main system, and another will be powering the testbench (I like to pull some power!). I hope I don't need a fan on it, but I might.
Jake Garrett I'm a filthy casual having a noctua nh-d14 in my main pc as my centerpiece. Extremely satisfied with it. The whole pc is whisper quiet when it's on idle (I've set a custom fan profile, though I've tweaked it now since summer is closing), though it's definitely audible on load, mainly because of my graphics card. Would like to water-cool it but it's a hassle I don't want to get into right now. About the card, if just that fans aren't enough, maybe a rework on the cooler itself will do the trick.
Just what I'd expect from ASRock. Hit the minimum of good functionality at the lowest possible price point. It's a good strategy and definitely makes their products worth at least considering if price is any sort of factor for you. No backplates, RGB, or particularly fancy cooler means no extra costs on top of the raw performance, and I'm OK with that.
On my backup computer I got a gigabyte rx 460 4gb 27in 1080p monitor 60hz and it's perfect so 480 , 580 8gb 1080p 60hz it's perfect combination I'm going to upgrade my 460 4gb to next amd card on my back up pc .
My advice to Asrock would be to settle on a brand color for Phantom Gaming that isn't red. I would argue either green or purple, mainly to play off the Phantom in the name and all the inherent ghost stuff it implies. I'd love to see say most of the lighting RGB, but a light up Asrock, or light up Phantom logo that only lights up in the brand color.
Honestly, more options are nice. I would definitely like to see a less "edgy" design. I'm not a particular fan of cluttered heat spreaders. It's easy to clash with other parts in your pc but I am also hoping that they'll try and make mini models of them, much like they do with their motherboards. I think that's where they'll shine
As long as they price these cards correctly I am fine with it not having a backplate or RGB. If I were in the market for a video card right now I would keep my eye on this.
Cool and all for Asrock, but it isn't a spectacular performing/looking card. That and the RX580s/GTX1060s tier cards are getting long in the tooth, especially for the price they're commanding. Hopefully next gen Asrock will have something interesting.
I heard of this card 6 months ago , i want this RX 580 !!! , Been waiting 6 months now , And now i hear it is NOT coming to Europe ? WTF ??? There must be a way to buy it somewhere else and let it ship to Holland ?! I have a friend in Ohio , maybe i need to give him a call ;-)
Push lots of frames but get hot...And in a micro case its a havoc. I have paired it with a Ryzen 7 and it works fine,but fighting heat its a constant straggle. Ryzen stays at 45C while ASrock goes to 85c.
Ohhh the rx580..I wanted to buy this card at msrp but the prices was bananas like 550-600 euros that specific time so i bought the 1080 for 100 euros more (650) and one month later I sold it and i bought the 1080ti . But to be honest i wasn't planning to spend so much. But the Rx580 if someone buy at msrp or close to msrp its a very nice GPU!!!

Tech YES City where do you buy your MX4 from and how cheap?

Tech YES City excuse me but how high are the temps??
❤️ Who ŵant to chat with me? See mу SEXy photo pojf.meesocial.ru/profile ❤
thanks for that Brian. Your the first of my reviewers to put one up for the ASROCK.
And you are most definitely the king of outtakes...
FYI, it's because of other AIBs that asrock can't sell in EU. AIBs put pressures on AMD for asrock to not sell.
A shame if it's true.
Yeah, i was wandering what kind of legislation can block a freking video card from being sold.. sounds like bullshit.
well the EU's regulation fucking sucks too
I am a big ASRock Fan, I used their Motherboards for over 15 years now, but I cannot buy them here in Germany ... this sucks :(
It is true! The only question is if public pressure will change that, if enough AMD-'fans' are angry then AMD might change this policy, if legally possible. Personally I think that it is outrageous for a company like AMD to tell an AIC-partner where to not sell the cards, unless there are legal problems but in that case the law forbids it and AMD can suffice with just giving advice.

I hope Asrock does more cards.
Amd finewine back at it again.

Hey Bryan this was a good review and it’s interesting to see Asrock get into cards. Cheers for the content good stuff as usual 👍🏼
Hello Nathanael (cool name haha) check us out at kratosway.com
Hey Bryan I understand you are saying you want better features. If I were Asrock and making RX 580 cards I would do two models the one you are showing as a stripped down budget model for those that dont need all the fancy frills (I would put better fans that move the same air but lower speeds for better sound) and then have the upscale model with RGB, back plate etc. That way they can cater to the biggest market. great video as always and if Asrock can keep that price reasonable they just make a load of cash.
Really excited for ASRock GPU's, hope most of them can OC like this one. Thanks for the review man!
Cool seeing you here :P
Foxbit hey man ;)
Asrock really does good overclocking stuff.. I'm glad they do VGAs now.
True that. Love their motherboards, exciting to see them doing graphics cards as well!
Gday Do you know if Aliexpress sells a third party water block kit to watercool the AU Asrock RX 580 ?
The position of the VRM doesn't mean anything as to where its pulling power from. That design is most likely split between the PCIe and the 8-pin.
If it pulled the 200 watts from PCI slot the mb would be toasted
Yep, it is set to 50/50 or 60w max on the PCIe wired VRMs, you can override this with WattTool.
EDIT for clarification, this means the theoretical max is around 240w from the VRM, after that it will run toastier.
Oh thanks for clarifying that, I always thought it did.
It's slightly more efficient since the mosfets can account for the vDroop along the 12v lines easier than if they were to for vCore lines, like on this MSI card. i.imgur.com/8Dp6t1o.png
Tech YES City no worries mate, with this card its probably like a lot of other 480/580 designs where half or so of the phases draw from the pcie slot which isn't ideal since the slot can provide less than the pcie power pin.

Hey, man. Those glasses make you look like a totally different person. I suddenly get why no one is able to recognise Clark Kent.
Also, wow! Those fans are loud af.
Aditya Upadhye they wont be at 100% really at all
WayStedYou yeah, i know. But they are like a jet engine unless you have headphones.
Why would you run the fans at 3800 rpm?
Only two reviews so far in youtube, one from Thailand (1 month ago) and from you. Can't wait to buy this!
Just got a rx580 used for $160 and I gotta say in really happy with the performance that it puts out. Still would never pay full price for one though.
keiskay good for you, man! That's a great deal. Usd or aud?
Aditya Upadhye USD , if it was aus that would of been even better
keiskay yeah! Still, its a pretty good card. Even if you find it msrp.
That’s a good card even at 300-400, you got a heck of a deal.
Man, thats a good deal even if the GPU market wasn't garbage right now. MSRP is $229 or something and seeing as its hard to get one for even $400 thats an amazing deal.
Damn ASRock done great on they're first time.
i would love to see a taichi graphics card i think the form factor will suit the design really nicely
Solid review as always! I have only had one ASROCK product, that being a AB350M PRO 4 motherboard and I haven't had any problems with it, seems like a solid product for the price.

"It's a late release"
What are these ppl on about? It's well timed. Best I describe it as giving a starving man a feast to eat. Used market is a gamble for most.
How is it not a late release? 5xx series has been out for a year and have rumored
I like your Videos, they are very informative.
Never stop pls
Check us out at kratosway.com
Tech Yes City , can you ask ASRock 3 fan graphics card and a backplate. Congratulations on being the first to review the ASRock RX580.👍👍👍👍👍⌚
My R9 Fury gets 17k in firestrike. Very impressed with the RX580.
Love the old intro man.
Keep it up Brian!
> Nears 200W of power consumption
> "6-phases running from the PCI express itself. [...] The 8-pins plug doesn't have a lot of functionality per-se"
I highly doubt this claim, as the PCIe slot is specced to deliver 75W and the 8-pins plug 150W. _Specced._ (Meaning they can deliver more, but that'd be out of spec, and we saw what happened with the AMD cards and the debacle over the high power pulled from the slot.)
Ujiltrom M I doubt that as well. It’s likely that they just rout a very long trace from pcie connector to the vrm. Not ideal since it creates resistance, but it’s asrocks first time so can’t be too harsh
750ti did that too though as remember it, or some 900 series card, and noone gave a shit.
Adreno Erin // Most likely it's a copper plane for way lower resistance.
Alexander Rewijk // the 1050ti also doesn't need a PCIe power plug. It's just constrained to 75W of power consumption.
I doubt he has any clue about how VRM's are connected , he got that idea because the VRM's are near the PCI-e power traces :D
awesome work as usual, mate. it's exciting to see ASRock make a strong entry into the GPU market. i really like and stand by their products. you must share the name of your new fonts in your graphs - they are very clean and easy to read!
Good job Brian! I would dare say, a very impressive first attempt, that card... it has just one power connector - interesting...
What a beast! Can you compare it to other RX580s? Such as Sapphire, stock, Powercolour...etc.
I was really happy when Newegg dropped the price on ryzen 7 1700 to $219 and the tomahawk to $74 could not resist as I already had some corsair vengeance 3200 that I had changed in my gaming rig and extra graphics cards and psus. Really happy with the result
Purchasing second hand. The first user bought it aroun 2019
I'm using asrock mobo with similar age
Hope both durable enough
Holy jesus your studio looks so nice.
Hey look, it's the same as a Coloful Card. The VRM phases are not coming from the PCI-E though. They're coming from the 8 pin connector.
That PCB tho.. Clean AF
Hey Bryan where did you get the tub of GC Extreme? I used to use this stuff religiously, season my oats for breakfast, etc however nobody local sells it anymore. I've resorted to a higher priced Thermal Grizzly for now, which is apparently better.
You spun the fan backwards, which bothered me for a moment, then I knew why haha neat trick.
Does it have any coil whine issues? I had bought Sapphire rx 580 pulse earlier, returned it coz of loud coil whine noise.
Very good news. I would like to see premium card, with backplate, premium components and quiet. I have Ryzen 1600x with ASRock mini-ITX motherboard, so I would be happy to buy next gen ASRock GPU for my build. Thank you for review.
How does it stack up to other existing RX 580s, like ones from PowerColor, Sapphire, Asus, etc? Good video by the way
Not 7 phases mate, there's some kind of doubling going on there. Check the VRM controller chip spec sheet (along with the other related chips), and how the phases are hooked up.
The RX 580 is very beast card. AMD should focus on driver support and optimisation to completely beat the GTX 1060 out of the box
RX580 have a same price with 1070 in my country. i go with 1060 coz lower tdp plus lower price but deliver almost the same performance as 580
Prathamesh Patil In our country you can buy a GTX 1070 when the RX 580 lauched, twice the performance and efficiency for the same price, the only downside of Radeon cards is they are expense and perform less than their same priced Nvidia counterparts. SAME GOES FOR VEGA 56 AND 64 THAT ARE PRICED AT 1070Ti and 1080 above and perform less than them and eat a ton of power.
Laxmi Narayanan KS agreed. same in my country. 580 and 1070 almost same prices. 1060 more cheaper.
the original price of the 580 was equal to the 1060
the 580 has more memory than the 1060, freesync support, and better driver support and better dx12/vulkan perf
300maze In my country I was saying, it might be what you say in USA, but when it came here through retailers it was 30-35k, that's the price of a GTX 1070 here, freesync as you say yes it's cheaper than GSync, but most people I know just buy a 1080p 60Hz monitor, hook it up with a GTX 1060 and play, requires only one 6pin.

This GPU is currently around 280 US dollars on Newegg right now. So not too bad
I hope to see them make MXM for factor modules for both their deskmini and laptops
Im still using a RX 580. Its real good in 1080P. I scored 14922 in firestrike.
I'm not a big fan of ASRock, but I'm happy to see them to extend their productline and entering GPU market. It's good for us, the customers.
Something that bothers me are the brightly coloured cables behind the fans. Make those black and the card gets a few extra looks points.
So Professor, how are the Power Puff Girls?!? :)
lol don't stop commenting ok?
Bahahahahahaha just read this while being forced by my 3 year old girl to watch PowerPuff Girls
Love the review. Asrock make great motherboards & should get into graphics cards. Best to trade the 0db fan feature for RGB lighting and backplate if it is going to be a budget card. Noise cancelling headphones should be used to deal with those jet engine fans at 100%. Seems like a region restriction going on with Asrock for EU and possible the US just like Sony and bluray/DVD discs. Prices in Oceania must be cheaper than Europe and US. Not to mention the trade tax issues between US and China.
This is available officially in Malaysia for USD 343. Picked it up last month as it is the cheapest RX580
Fair to point out as well on Final Fantasy, The overall LOW's and frame times were wayyyyyy better and so its not just about fastest highest frame rate.
Brian, does this card have dual bios? i guess not since i could not see the switch anywhere. Thanks!
Great video, Brian!
I also made a video review about this video card and I'm curious about your thoughts on the Overclocking? For me it seems that these cards have good OC potential. :)
Now we need these in Europe!
Honestly, fan noise and backplates are a non issue if the price is right. I don't have any details on pricing either but I suspect we will be seeing ASRock playing to it's strengths here, value. If these come out significantly cheaper than the competition ASRock will be on to a winner here.
How did you even get your hands on this???? cant find it anywhere even tho it released 19th april
Better yet Not just a back plate for the sake of having one, but one with plenty of vents or holes for heat dissipation.
Heya Bryan, just checking what were the max temps like when overclocked?
I would like a less aggressive looking card, smooth corners, bigger fans and make the side logo bigger with LED lighting (I Kinda like Asrock's logo).
It's refreshing to see a more basic style card, less gimmicky flashy bits, no back plate. (Plus I like my asrock x370 Taichi) first asrock product, it is pretty good. I LOVE the black and white gear theme) Iwould say the stock thermal paste should be part of the review, and temperature vs noise. Every cooler is capable of good temps, but if it sounds like a jet engine, well.... Meh
i just bought this one new egg for $199.. i have an H81M-HDS mobo so i figured this card would work great.
i just hope i can keep it/my pc cool.. might need to buy some thermal paste.
The rx 580 is a good card. I’ve had one since last August and I can run pretty much anything on high to ultra at (2560 x 1080) pixels.
I can even push out 4K on non-demanding/older games.
If the crypto crazy didn’t happen I’m sure people would hate on it as much. Who wouldn’t wanna play games with 60+ fps on ultra settings for $250-$300
ASRock Kick-Ass, very good review man.
The backplate with rgb should be great, but first the price in EU please.
maybe it's the diff maker but my Armor 4gig rx580 comfortably OC's to 1500mhz, and never gets over 50c even under load at a 60% fan speed. should the 4gig be clocking higher then the 8gig?
I like your glasses. Keep it up the great job!
I have same card, and my RX 588 is very lucky. I overclocked it to 1500MHz with +50mv, and i got even 1520MHz! I try to get 1545MHz on this card, because 1545MHz it's RX 590 stock clocks! My RX 580 will turn into 590))
Why not add a "Phantom" red led labeling similar to what Nvidia does on their fe cards in green, i agree that it should have a back plate, and maybe instead of just the silver paint on the shroud it should have red paint in the front half of the card and silver on the back, also have the ASRock logo be a silver/white led. Or make the led text rgb so the user can choose the color in Asrock's sofware.
Bwa ha ha, the outtakes are getting much finer with that finewine tech yes ology!
What card you guys use at StarLabs Dr.wells?
Just kidding im salt about this " also the card is blocked from being for sale in the EU"
ill be moving to Australia in a few months any ideas to where I can buy parts for a good price?
Please up date on price when available great review
Pretty simplistic, I like it. Though I think some better fans would be better so they can move as much air as the current ones but with lower noise levels.
That's not as easy as it sounds.... A lot of it is from the air just moving through the heatsink fins. Designing the best airfoil in the world for that fan would help, but its really going to be loud either way pushing that much air unless you drastically change the fan system. You could do a gigantic blower system with noise dampening multi path noise shielding insulation pumping through to the GPU, but that system is going to be a huge box probably the size of your computer that would need to sit outside your system. I don't think many people would want that... It could be done, but really, you can use a passive radiator to cool those RX cards with a very quiet water pump, its much cheaper, smaller, and easier to do.
You need about a 480mmx120mmx80mm radiator with vertical fin orientation, and you should be able to cool it enough. that's just based roughly on some of my testing. My next silent cooler is going to be a car radiator capable of cooling the CPU, and mutli-GPU (have 6 GPU blocks on it, enough for my main system and my testbench, which I may just bolt to the side of my main system case). I'll probably run duel HX1200i platinum PSUs for my main system, and another will be powering the testbench (I like to pull some power!). I hope I don't need a fan on it, but I might.
Jake Garrett I'm a filthy casual having a noctua nh-d14 in my main pc as my centerpiece. Extremely satisfied with it. The whole pc is whisper quiet when it's on idle (I've set a custom fan profile, though I've tweaked it now since summer is closing), though it's definitely audible on load, mainly because of my graphics card. Would like to water-cool it but it's a hassle I don't want to get into right now.
About the card, if just that fans aren't enough, maybe a rework on the cooler itself will do the trick.
1,400,000 points in Fire Strike?! ASROCK I NEED THIS CARD IN MY LIFE!
I just got one of these on a 4 he sale for $299 with $30 rebate and $129 gift card for 2 brand new games!!!!
I got this card for 199 for black friday
Me too they price matched it for me lol
Just what I'd expect from ASRock. Hit the minimum of good functionality at the lowest possible price point. It's a good strategy and definitely makes their products worth at least considering if price is any sort of factor for you. No backplates, RGB, or particularly fancy cooler means no extra costs on top of the raw performance, and I'm OK with that.
On my backup computer I got a gigabyte rx 460 4gb 27in 1080p monitor 60hz and it's perfect so 480 , 580 8gb 1080p 60hz it's perfect combination I'm going to upgrade my 460 4gb to next amd card on my back up pc .
Ashes of the Singularity is really more for CPU testing, the GPU benchmarks are iffy at best...
Spencer Reynolds Ashes was originally designed to show off Async compute for AMD'S cards.
Those 3dmark scores are eye opening
when you put "rx 580 8gb oc" is it the oc version or the manual oc?
My advice to Asrock would be to settle on a brand color for Phantom Gaming that isn't red. I would argue either green or purple, mainly to play off the Phantom in the name and all the inherent ghost stuff it implies. I'd love to see say most of the lighting RGB, but a light up Asrock, or light up Phantom logo that only lights up in the brand color.
bryan you dyed your hair, i cant see the grey bits anymore ;) looking fresh
Hey wen you benchmark can you add Titalfall 2 to the mix
Stay up the good work from Norway. :P
Those glasses work the best for u man.
Is it possible for you to compare with the other rx 580s ?
I need to know when i can buy it? looks amazing
Looks cool, im curious if its going to work with nvidia as an aib
Looks good Bryan :D
i just hope they make a whole bunch so all of us can get some
Honestly, more options are nice. I would definitely like to see a less "edgy" design. I'm not a particular fan of cluttered heat spreaders. It's easy to clash with other parts in your pc but I am also hoping that they'll try and make mini models of them, much like they do with their motherboards. I think that's where they'll shine
As long as they price these cards correctly I am fine with it not having a backplate or RGB. If I were in the market for a video card right now I would keep my eye on this.
Cool and all for Asrock, but it isn't a spectacular performing/looking card. That and the RX580s/GTX1060s tier cards are getting long in the tooth, especially for the price they're commanding. Hopefully next gen Asrock will have something interesting.
RGB would be nice. But if the price is way out there with the other cards, well.... I'll wait.
I heard of this card 6 months ago , i want this RX 580 !!! , Been waiting 6 months now ,
And now i hear it is NOT coming to Europe ? WTF ???
There must be a way to buy it somewhere else and let it ship to Holland ?!
I have a friend in Ohio , maybe i need to give him a call ;-)
Shame about the market locks on these cards, i really wanted an all Asrock build :/
So which one is better? this one or the Shappire nitro+(grey)?
It seems like a solid unit, I’d like one.
Push lots of frames but get hot...And in a micro case its a havoc. I have paired it with a Ryzen 7 and it works fine,but fighting heat its a constant straggle. Ryzen stays at 45C while ASrock goes to 85c.
AOSE I believe the appeal on how the game built fully on the new api DX12 which can help to test the new gpu in better api.
Ohhh the rx580..I wanted to buy this card at msrp but the prices was bananas like 550-600 euros that specific time so i bought the 1080 for 100 euros more (650) and one month later I sold it and i bought the 1080ti . But to be honest i wasn't planning to spend so much. But the Rx580 if someone buy at msrp or close to msrp its a very nice GPU!!!
Can't wait to see what ASRock can do with say a... Vega 56 :D.
Nice specs, and nice specs!
Please record the sound like 2-3ft away from the fan. Or a similar distance you record your voice. So we can compare it
Be better to use a sound level meter as their to many variable between reviewers.
*OUT OF THE BOX THERMALS!!1!*
I dont understand where u get it that the vrm runs from the PCIe slot... the 8 pin is 100% sure just run throught the pcb to that vrm.
Very nice card from Asrock. A backplate wouldn't hurt though.
