I’ve seen on here a few times that the general consensus is to stick with XFX/Sapphire/PowerColor and to avoid Gigabyte/Asus/MSI. Where does ASRock fall into that split? I’m in the market for a 7800xt. Of all those preferable board partners does one stick out as being better, or can’t really lose as long as it’s not one of the “bad” group?

    My Phantom Gaming 6800xt has been with me since release of the series and has been reliable. That being said I did take the heatsink apart repaste the GPU and tighten the screws to my liking. This dropped hotspot temps 10c alone. It wasn’t my first choice for brand but I got it at MSRP at the time.

      I did the same with my 6900xt AND undervolted it. Now my 3700X is limiting games so much that 6900xt basically never gets out of zero fan mode.
