Tri-X Cooling Technology
The Tri-X Cooling Solution is powered by three large 100mm efficient fans running anticlockwise to optimize wind flow efficiency. The tunneled fins on
the fans aid in increasing the convection of airflow to ensure that Tri-X cooling is a low temperature and low noise cooling solution.

Intelligent Fan Control

Fan speed is intelligently controlled to keep the GPU, Memory, PWM IC and other
components as low as possible in temperature to balance performance and fan noise.
Precision fan control
Standard industry fans may have up to 10% difference between fan rotation cycles (RPM).
The Fan IC Control on SAPPHIRE graphics cards reduce differential at approximately 3%.
This up to 70% improvement on accuracy ensures that cooling and noise performance of
every graphics card is up to scratch.
Two-Ball Bearing Fans
These feature Dual Ball bearing fans, which have an approximately 85% longer lifespan than
sleeve bearings in our tests. The improvements to the fan blades means the solution is up
to 10% quieter than the previous generation.
Back Plate
The all-aluminum back plate provides additional rigidity that guarantees nothing bends and
dust stays out. It also helps cool your card by increasing heat dissipation.

Hybrid Fan Blade

The traditional axial fan is quiet but lacks the air pressure to push down the air to the
components. A blower fan has strong air pressure but is noisy at high speed. The new hybrid
fan design combines the strengths by improving the downward air pressure of the axial fan
design while keeping the fan noise low.

Wave Fin Design & V Shape Fin Design for Improved GPU Cooling

The all-new innovative Wave Fin Design working in

tandem with our V-Shape Fin Design for GPU
Cooling reduces wind friction and centralises the
airflow around the GPU to dissipate heat efficiently
to produce lower thermal temperatures.

Integrated Cooling Module & K6.5 Memory PAD

Cutting edge Memory & VRM Cooling with heat pipes and the next gen K6.5 Memory Pad ensures you can push your
performance to new limits while keeping the SAPPHIRE NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT Special Edition Graphics
Card components icy cool. The new stand-alone memory/VRM Cooling Module cools the Memory, Mosfet, and the
Chokes. Heat pipes underneath the module dissipate the heat from the components with improved efficiency. When
compared to the K5 memory pad, the K6.5 thermal pad delivers 38% improved thermal conductivity between
components and the cooler.

TriXX Supported

The TriXX Software includes a range of features such as TriXX Boost, Software BIOS Switch and
NITRO Glow ARGB LED Effect which can only be controlled via TriXX. Customize your individual
style with TriXX Software and heighten your gaming experience!

Fan Check
At times fans need a service but it can be frustrating to return the entire card and wait
for a replacement to be authorized. The fan Check feature allows users to check the
cooler’s status and immediately contact customer support through Fan Service in case
of problems.

Fan Quick Connect

If there’s a fan problem, you don’t have to return the entire card. SAPPHIRE or our
channel partners will send out a replacement fan directly to you! That means they’re
easy to remove, clean and replace, with just one screw holding them securely in place.

NITRO GLOW

With tasteful shroud design augmented by ARGB LEDs, you can change the colors of the
LEDs, for a customized design. This can be controlled via TriXX software. Choose from various
different modes including Fan Speed Mode, PCB Temperature Mode or the Colourful Rainbow
Mode or turn off the LEDs.
