[@greghilliard1767]

I'm so looking forward to using this card. Just have to finish my build!!

[@Nite-Lite-Gamers]

I went all out this time and bought a PowerColor 7900XTX LE and to be fair Im over the moon with it and its the quitest card I have ever had. I go into the Amd software and set it to balanced mode and the hot spot never goes over 89c with the fans at around 1700rpm. Solid card, I just wish it was cheaper, although it droped £100 since I bought it but I have no regrets.

[@dawn-moon]

I own the "normal" 7900 XTX Red Devil, and at stock bios in COD DMZ, I'm getting peak hot spot of 94 degrees Celcius, in a Lian Li Lancool3 with 6 140mm Corsair Performance Elite fans and 3 120mm fans, same type, installed below the Red Devil. You DO need a lot of case cooling for these power draws. I ended up undervolting 1% in Redeon software, that makes a hot spot difference of about 5 degrees. Coil wine is only audible on some game menus that are not frame capped and run at like 1000 fps. In properly FPS limited menus, you can't notice the coil wine... I'm happy I kept it AMD, from my former 6950XTX Red Devil to this one was just unplug and plug the same the 3 PCIE power cables, done :) ( weird thing was that W10 and the latest 6950 driver, did not like my 7900XTX rightaway, it had to be uninstalled, reboot, install , 2 or 3 reboots, then it was done )

[@AdamsWorlds]

I can see watercooled cards being the future. With the size of coolers needed now surly its the cheaper option to slap a waterblock on them. Would like to see "pre built" water cooling also. So you buy a unit with rad, block, res, and they come with 4 pipes 2 for the cpu and 2 for the gpu. Just plug and play quick connect/disconnect. I know this already exists but i can see it becoming a standard with every PC.

[@pascaldifolco4611]

It's also the present for me, as my reservoir (behind front rad) already prevents me to put a GPU more than 280mm long (and I have a rather big Phanteks P600S case...) 😂

[@GewelReal]

[@Alexandra-Rex]

I really like PowerColor's Devil logo. It's so simple and clean.

[@Drock7749]

It looks awesome! For me though, with that difference in price and the fact it is a strictly water cooled card, there should be a higher power limit than it has or at least the ability to increase it higher than it does without having to mod the bios. Personally the "unleashed" bios should have a bigger difference than it does. Other than that it looks to be a great card!

[@thorgen_ironside5279]

As always Der8auer delivering quality review

[@HappyHubris]

I have the air cooled Powercolor Red Devil and...you get similar improvement over a stock 7900XTX, albeit with higher temps/fans. Except mine was +$50 over reference price, and this is +$XXX over the reference cooler. And people have reported nice undervolts/overclocks on the reference cooler, too. Generally the GPUs that cost +$200 or more over reference just don't give you enough raw performance to justify that price, though some people might prefer to water cool or whatever.

[@redhel]

You have to compare it price wise vs buying an air cooled card + a waterblock really. Most waterblocks for the XTX are around that $200 mark so what are you gonna do

[@ironhelix45]

The fact it comes with an ek water block almost makes this a no brainer for watercooled builds. the red devil is 1100+the ek red devil block is another 277. That makes that combo 1377. The liquid devil is 1400. $23 to keep your warranty and not have to instal the block yourself seems like a no brainer. (pricing was in the US, ymmv). If you dont have to pay for shipping on the liquid devil you instantly save money because shipping from ek to the us is around 20-40 bucks.

[@aonirsplayground6224]

I guess at the top of the line performance/€ goes out the window and you want performance for *almost* any money. But heck even with that mindset the premium on this one is too much to justify, so much so it starts falling in line with products that are like made with gold for no other reason than "yes why not".

[@4fiHysteria]

​@@ironhelix45 EK blocks make no sense though, when you can get a cheaper bykski, higher quality similar price heatkiller, or spend more for better performance from something like Optimus. And in the US, disassembling your card cannot void the warranty anyways, just put the old cooler back on if you have to RMA it and you're fine. It's what I did when I rma'd my 3090 out of my loop.

[@ironhelix45]

@4fiHysteria byskie needs to have a block available to be able to use them. Right now they don't even have a 7000 category on their own website. They have one for preorder at 194. Ekwb at least has 7900 blocks available to buy and ship out now. Byskie's one block that I saw was for the sapphire nitro +. That card starts at 1200. Add the 200 for the byskie block and you are at 1400, same price as the liquid devil without the hassle of needing to install the block yourself. Also, I didn't mention that it came with the loop leak test kit. 30 bucks right there. Now I know not everyone will use that, but it is added for free. Don't get me wrong, I get that most of the time buying a pre-blocked card costs more than doing it yourself. In this case, purchasing in the US, the liquid devil makes a lot of sense because the cost of the card and block is comparable to buying the base card and base block itself. Most budget blocks that are out for the 7900xtx are for reference only. If you want an aib block your options are limited. I didn't see a heat killer block in my search, same with byskie until recently with their preorder of the sapphire nitro + block. Ekwb is a reliable brand that you can generally always trust the quality of their product. It isn't unreasonable to consider them as a gold standard of the industry. They are the only ones that I have seen with more than one aib block. Availible now, they have the Asus tuf and reference cards with the red devil cards launching at the end of March early, April. They are also the only brand that I've seen that actually has a tab for the 7000 series gpu. Not trying to shill for ekwb but when it's been 3 months since the launch of the card, and you plan on making a waterblock for the card maybe you should have a tab on your website to advertise that you are in fact going to sell blocks for that line. Edit: never heard of Optimus and just looked at their stuff, they don't even make amd card blocks, so why bring them up?

[@gsuberland]

I wonder if you could improve the coil whine using the same trick that CRT manufacturers used in the 80s and 90s: potting them in wax, or adding glue to the sides. Back then the reason for the whine was the horizontal beam deflection transformer being driven with a sawtooth wave at 15.6kHz. Would be interesting to see you add some hot glue to the sides of the inductors on a card with loud coil whine and see if it reduces it significantly. You could also try something more permanent like epoxy or cyanoacylate, although you'll probably want to try those on a cheaper card than this one!

[@sammiller6631]

You could improve the coil whine using a better power supply or a neighborhood with cleaner power at the wall socket.

Hey, I was wondering if getting a liquid cooled card is safe long term now that it's been a 10 months since you got it.

[@MrPhyrce]

@@bigai-ul4icthat entirely depends on what you mean by safe? I haven't had any issues with the card at all. It depends on what you yourself are comfortable with. I am fine ripping my PC apart to do whatever needs to be done. Water cooling is very much an enthusiast thing to do. I work on PCs for a living and have 0 issues diagnosing and replacing parts or draining and filling my loop. If you aren't comfortable building a pc and doing your own troubleshooting stick to air cooled or hybrid cards. The Red Devil performs nearly identically to the liquid devil for example, without the need for maintenance.

[@bluephreakr]

Hey Roman, had you considered for your WireView thing having the display press-fit into connectors similar to how the Raspberry Pi CU does attachment to other boards? It would permit use of the same display unit across multiple power boards so that less material could be required overall. If I am wrong about this, I am sure your audience will let me know.

Think about the extra performance per $. The AIB cards generally all undervolt/overclock well as is, so the gap between say a $1,050 card and a $1,200 card is likely very little (silicon lottery applying, of course). The "guaranteed" overclocks on all these AIBs are all much smaller than a simple undervolt on a reference card.

I wanted the standard Red Devil RX 7900 XTX. They are over $2000 NZD though (about 1200 euro). $2K knowing it will be superseded so quickly made me hesitate. I went cheap and got a Red Devil 6750XT new for a little more than half what they were on launch. It'll do for now. I also went cheap and recently upgraded my 3700x to a 5900X that was discounted, instead of going 7000 series. I'll wait for the next Zen gen to see if it is any good. I only play a little ESO at 4k, so do not need a supercomputer (it's plenty for my digital audio workstation stuff too). I sold the 3700X to my nephew for an extra large pizza delivered. I have to pull it apart, though. I put my M2 NVMe drive in the easy to get to slot. Using that slot makes my GPU run PCI-E 8x3, instead of 16x. I doubt it hurts, but it still bothers me. Now I have saved a bunch of money I can catch up on all the electric guitar stuff I need to buy, mod, and maintain etc, e.g., stainless frets on my Strat, or a new USB audio interface etc. There's always something huh?

Installed this card yesterday. After tinkering last night I've discovered this liquid devil undervolts a lot more than the 7900xtx red devil it replaces (got tired of waiting for a water block). Which means it OC's higher. 100 shy of 28k in time spy so far and creeping up. Down to 1110mv. Previous card wasn't stable under 1130mv. Don't currently have 5950x fully maxed so I'm sure I'll go over 28k later when I get back to it.

[@rENEGADE666JEDI]

When you go below 3300mhz@1050v, we'll talk. My nitro+ works on these settings in modern warfare 2. But for RT games I have to lower the voltage to around 1085v

[@ShaneWymore]

I just installed the liquid devil 7900XTX and noticed that power color didn't install pads on the chokes. There's enough room between the block and the chokes to install them. Weird. I'll be adding pads and repasting tomorrow. I'm willing to bet that coil whine goes way down. Also, without touching settings I'm scoring 31200 in timespy. Boost clocks hit 2900MHz default on Unleashed BIOS. Pretty happy with this GPU, I'm waiting for a replacement from AsRock as I received a faulty GPU in the Aqua OC version. That card hits 3300MHz with the extreme vBIOS no OC but, it draws 530-580W when doing so. I'll play with the values on that one too when the replacement arrives

[@MadViking82]

I came from Red Devil 6900XT on which I put an Alphacool block. The upgrade path competition was between Liquid Devil 7900XTX and iChill Frostbite RTX4090. Went for the latter due to 2x the RT performance, better upscaling and Frame Generation. The price difference in Asia was only 250€ so it made sense. Frostbite has a 450W PL, however it can still be OC'd around 7% by upping the voltage to 1.1mv, and the clocks stay at 3.065ghz consistently at +130mhz core, memory did a solid +800mhz, passing the Port Royal stress test of 30 loops. Temps stay under 63C at worst case scenario, hotspot 75C, most of the time 45-55C core and 55-65C hotspot. No coil whine after the first two weeks of screaming like a pig. Just justifying my choice aloud on the internet! :D

One thing that can also be improved is location for water entry/exit into the water block. Waterblock's slot size or length in most cases isn't issue will it fit insade smaller cases, but problem is width. My question is why not separate those entry/exit points by moving water entrance to top left corner, and exit to bottom right corner, that way even if GPU is vertical mounted or regular, water can have natural flow. + Width of card is reduced.

[@antoniocepaj7544]

Also if they added one more power connector, why wouldn't be possible to have them put at end of GPU, instead of traditional way on side ? That way it would even further reduce width of GPU.

Where van you buy the 2x8p version of wire view? I love how it looks. I wonder what would have happened with this card if you lowered the target voltage like 50-100mv.since since you are still power limited it would be very interesting to see if you can hit 3000MHz+ with the low temps it might be possible. The clock curve will be steeper. Just like with RDNA2 you would want to stay below the power limit on RDNA3 to keep the clockspeed predictable and constant looking at what the cards I tested could run with the stock MBA cooler and power limits 3GHz should be possible with this card if you tweak it to the limit by also Undervolting it a little.

If you do some undervolting with OC, you get even better results

[@MADMarcus72]

I wonder if this would fit in cases like the Hyte Y60? That is the case I am currently using and with the 7900 XT it gets close to the glass where there might not be room for the water fittings.

[@davidhedgecock5857]

It should fit fine and also you could fit the water cooling connectors to the back of the liquid devil card.

[@chveyk]

Yes. I thought the "pictograms" from the EK are clear to everyone. But no, it turns out that the great derbauer is so "alternatively talented" that he did not understand them !!! The EK logo is an ARROW. showing "inside", and the "owl" logo is like an "out" arrow

[@PeakKissShot]

Any thoughts on the ASRock aqua 7900xtx vs this? I am running the aqua myself and it's wonderful so far.

[@siberx4]

The difference between the two BIOS profiles is the fan curves ;)

[@VforVentouza]

I had it for a few days and absolutely loved how it looked and how it ran. Sadly it was not compatible with my VR headset, which I guess is what it is, but the coil whine was just too much. I have a very silent PC on my desk and this was simply ruining it. I'm very sad about it cause I really loved its looks.

[@alexandrepimenta3480]

Please Man, what qdc conections you use?? Tks for the videos.

[@itsyaboia-dub1120]

I would like to see a custom waterblock on the ASRock phantom to compare this to.

[@agoogleuser7899]

Nice water flow through the block.

[@dot5799]

When can we expect TG WireView to become available (both 12VHPWR and 8-pin variations)?

[@jasonmcclure5491]

This is the the gpu I wanted but got the asrock aqua 7900xtx. Is there anyway you could do a comparison between the two also there is quit alot of price difference 1300 for aqua vs 1700 red devil is it really worth the extra

[@B19902133]

I bought the Red Devil limited edition, kinda wishing I had waited for this release lol.

[@cryo2383]

Hello Sir, where can we buy the watt meter you use on the pci-e connector? Thank you

[@Akkbar21]

3:30 how can he tell about the flow direction from what we’re seeing here? How can he tell it’s wrong? Would appreciate a reply. Ty.

[@samvega827]

Is it bad to run a block reversed like that? I never even thought about that before lol. I have the asrock phantom gaming 7900xtx that I just put on an alphacool waterblock and I love it!

[@barn0wl]

I wish they sold this as a block for the red devil, it looks so much nicer than the normal waterblock

[@Squashed8Ball]

I’m confused; this is a Red Devil but with a water block preinstalled and thus it’s sold as the Liquid Devil.

[@RevansNightmare]

It’s not the same look on the block. I understand what he’s saying. I’m just mad that ek hasn’t sent my red devil block it yet after delaying the pre order delayed twice.

[@jackofalltrades4091]

what about undervolting this card.... or is that not a thing, like will you get lower temps at the same clock?

[@1211evis]

Hi when can buy the PCIE power meter? it look really cool

[@jkomodo]

I've thoroughly searched through most 7900xtx's and the strongest one I've witnessed was the sapphire nitro+ as it's over locking sets it often to the 4090 in benchmarks.

[@TieuBachBach]

Sapphire still leading for AMD card since ATI brand name till now. The quality are top and cooling at the same, board and finish very best.

[@onomatopoeia162003]

@@TieuBachBach true about the ATI brand.

[@no-one_no1406]

Good video! Next question though is... how can we modify the xtx cards to remove or increase the power limit? MPT doesn't work any more :/

[@OrjonZ]

You have to mod the card. No more software hacks.

[@no-one_no1406]

@@OrjonZ Yes. But how? AMD I don't think uses a resistor to measure current draw, so can't just solder that? Can the power controller chip be reconfigured, like on the radeon 6 series?

[@RecycledSkills]

What are the port sizes? G1/4? I assume the same as the standard EK block?

[@mutasimrahman6833]

My MSI gaming 7900xtx doesn't allow me to set the fans to 0%. Is there any way for me to fix this? I've tried all of the various fan control software out there (Fan Control, Argus monitor, Afterburner, etc.)

[@sergkot3462]

Is it worth that a reference pcb variant + ek waterbllock?

[@Skop_p]

I know the video is about the gpu. but im more interested in that 3x8pin wireview.

[@PajakTheBlind]

Are there ways to get a hardware readout from the card to motherboard sensors to manage the fanspeed?

[@tk0rahl327]

What's the difference if any between the red devil with ek block and the liquid devil?

[@phantomap1522]

Quick note, in the video when you are showing graphs of frequencies, the Y-axis reads "Power Draw in W", it took me a few blinks to reset my brain and figure out that this doesn't mean I need a 3 kilowatt power supply :')

[@jdgrupp]

Amazing for a single slot design.
