Experience Primal performance with the Prime Radeon RX 9060 XT
graphics card featuring a compact 2.5-slot design for expansive
compatibility, enhanced by a triple-fan setup for supreme cooling.
Cooling
2.5-slot Design
The Prime Radeon RX 9060 XT features a 2.5 slot design with a
carefully arranged layout for the shroud, heatsink and heat pipes to
let the three Axial-tech fans leverage chassis side-panel
ventilation and deliver optimal thermal performance.
Axial-tech Upgrades
Three tried-and-true Axial-tech fans feature a smaller hub that
facilitates longer blades and a barrier ring to increase downward
air pressure for lower temperatures, less noise and higher
performance.
Dual Ball Fan Bearings
Different bearing types have unique pros and cons. Dual-ball
bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as
sleeve bearing designs.
MaxContact Design
MaxContact is a special ASUS manufacturing process that
effectively expands the surface area of the heat spreader that
sits atop the GPU by 5%, compared to traditional designs. This
improves temperatures by up to 2°C, in concert with an extensive
heatsink array and powerful Axial-tech fans.
0dB Technology
All three fans come to a standstill when GPU temperatures are
below 55°C, letting you play less demanding games or perform light
tasks in relative silence. Fans start up again when temperatures
are over 60°C, establishing a speed curve that balances
performance and acoustics for work or play.
Vented Backplate
Large backplate vents significantly enhance heat dissipation,
helping to keep the GPU cooler during intense tasks. This
additional airflow helps ensure optimal temperatures, boosting
performance, longevity and stability by defending against
overheating and thermal throttling.
Unmatched Reliability
ASUS GPU Guard
ASUS GPU Guard applies adhesive to secure all four corners to
reduce the risk of cracks.
Protective Backplate
The PCB is reinforced by a backplate that adds structural
rigidity, helping to prevent flex and to protect components and
trace pathways from damage.
Stainless Steel Bracket
The mounting bracket features grade 304 stainless steel, chosen
for its strength and high resistance to corrosion.
Engineering
Dual BIOS
Do you prioritize low core temps or low noise levels? Performance
mode lets the fans spin up to keep the card running cool all the
time, and Quiet mode keeps the same power target and top-end
settings while offering a less aggressive fan curve for quieter
operation at moderate temperatures.
Auto-Extreme Technology
An automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the
industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single
pass, ASUS Auto-Extreme technology reduces thermal strain on
components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals,
resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power
consumption and a more reliable product overall.
