ASRock’s custom RX 5700 XT Challenger OC will release in early-August

So far, ASRock has been the only company to officially reveal its custom RX 5700 series of graphics cards. This new series of graphics cards use ASRock’s new “Challenger” series brand name, releasing their cards with factory overclocks and a dual-fan cooler design.
 
According to Techpowerup, ASRock has committed to releasing its RX 5700 Challenger series graphics cards on the second week of August, though at this time it is unknown if ASRock has any other custom RX 5700 series graphics cards in the works. Perhaps an RX 5700 XT Taichi or Phantom Gaming?

Both the RX 5700 and RX 5700 XT will feature a custom twin fan cooler design and a backplate, with ASROCK hoping that their cooling efforts will result in higher performance levels than AMD’s reference RDNA graphics hardware. ASROCK has released the specifications below, but at this time these specifications are subject to change.

The ASROCK Challenger RX 5700/XT OC will feature twin 10cm fans and utilise a 4 heat-pipe cooling solution with power coming from twin 8-pin PCIe connectors. The preliminary specifications for these graphics cards give them base and gaming clock speeds that are higher than AMD’s reference models, though these specifications could change as ASROCK custom offerings are further developed.
