I'm not sure, but I think the clicking noise is because of the pump may have some air bubbles trapped in there. Mounting the radiator higher than the pump should fix it a little bit.
glad to see someone with the same approach to the solution of this problem :D
Came here to say the same thing.
@@nehalmayekar1435 I think we all watched that GN video xd
I have the same card with my radiator mounted in top of case and the same sound persists. Just a noisy pump.
@@monkdot3263 how noisy is it?
Hahaha "Holy! RIP GPU... nice ending for the people that stayed. :) Love the video as always Roman.
3:39 raising the radiator at a higher level than GPU, it may help in removing that noise (not sure but it can cause air trapped to move out if the pump is present on the GPU side). It should be set before turning the pump on.
I have the 6800 XT ROG Strix LC version mounted vertically, mine doesn't make any noise and I run my computer next to me without the glass panel on usually, it's very quiet. I installed that Asus Armory Crate RGB software and it ruined the RGB in my system. It made my G. Skill Trident Z RGB strobe like crazy when installing and it also shut the RGB off on my card and couldn't control it via software.
The worst part is that this GPU wasn't supported by Asus's software as of 2 weeks ago so I uninstalled it. Otherwise the card is a total beast.
@@TerraWare dang, lost like 20FPS without all those blinking RGB there.
it sounds like cavitation to me
@@TerraWare armory crate sucks ass
@@TerraWare Hey Terra, where did you buy your 6800xt from? I want the same card.
Protective film on the protective film to protect the protected film.
I like taking the protective film off because I hate it and if it wasn't there in the first place I would be happier.
I know one who actually does that with his old Sony w810i phone lawl xD
dangit i had to broke 42 likes barrier ahha
Hey man you have to put more protective film to protect more protective film
Yo dawg...
Worked in steel industry for decades. The film comes pre-applied or is applied when the coil is slit or cut to length at the service center. It's there to protect surface while the material goes through the remaining processes such as punching or folding or plasma/laser/water cutting, etc. It saves many tons of product for the cost of a little plastic. It has absolutely nothing to do with the vendor. Critical part of the chain that will never go away.
How would polyethylene be there during plasma cutting? It'd melt.
Pricing: A Lot
Availability: Next to nothing.
Just like every other new GPU.
Cat already broke this one LOL
+ no DLSS + inferior RTX prefotmance = obselete product from day 1
@@eli5611 Yes...it doesn't support features that are present in 8 of the 10,000+ games released in 2020...what a piece of trash.
Truly you are contributing valuable information to the conversation and are a scholar among men.
@@Starscreamious we are in 2021. After that 2022 will come i guess - good luck runing Cyberpunk 2077, Control, cold war, BG3, and many new games ahead without it
@@eli5611 I'm still unable to buy a GPU due to no stock. I'm planning on buying a 6900XT or RTX3090 because I need the VRAM for 2160p gaming. I only care about raw performance.
protective film on fan hubs annoying too...
I routinly send complains directly to manufacturer by email, to complain about details like this. This is the only way to make them really take a notice, and think about their design and future products.
Totally agree with the pump noise! Very nice review!
Nice vid..
Managed to pick up the XFX 6900xt Merc 319 just before xmas and have not found many videos of it online.. new to AMD graphics cards and did not think about lowering the voltage of the card, Was finding it hard to up my score on timespy but as soon as I undervolted it a bit I got about 800 extra score just from doing that.
Great review! Although, it doesn't surprise me that the pump was making noise. The pump was at the highest point in the loop the way you had it set up, definitely getting air bubbles!
Thank you. This was a great review
Hey, since this is an AMD card, I'd suggest you to use AMD Memory Tweak XL for the overclocking. When I had my Vega 64, I had the same problems of not being able to undervolt while overclocking in MSI afterburner or similar software but I tried Memory Tweak XL and it worked flawlessly. It has frequency selection based on power states and each power state can be assigned a certain voltage. Also, instead of forcing a certain frequency at a certain voltage, it just sets the maximum limit to the frequency at that voltage so the card boosts according to the voltage. Sorry if my words are a little hard to understand, but I hope Memory Tweak XL works
I use the AMD software on mine for tweaking it. I didn't like that Asus software at all. I have a few profiles set on it too. Max OC/ Mild/ Different fan profiles etc. The usual.
@@TerraWare same here, i really dislike gpu tweak
Hi, can you tell me what power supply you are using? Do you have 3x (4x2) power supply PCI-E cables going into the GPU?
Also what colour are the lights when you plug your power cables in?
Shiek jumping on the GPU at the end: is she nvidia fangirl?? :D
Most prefer nVIDIA GPUs over AMD GPUs.
@@basshead. yeah ppl are stupid and never open to other ideas
@@JamesBond-vi2eh They are stupid because they want the best GPUs?
Did you speak with Asus? I'm wondering if the clicking was something endemic to the card design or if you happened to get one with a bad bearing or something.
The sound of the pump is due to how you have the radiator sitting to the side below the card. It's called cavitation.
Got the Sapphire Nitro+ version waiting for me today. I had the 6800 XT version of yours there and had issues with directx failing, ended up selling the card when Warzone would crash over and over again. Any notes to compare aside from benchmark numbers?
Great video 👍
Thanks for this video Roman very informative. As for the price on this gpu I can confirm right now in Canada 🇨🇦 this gpu is selling for $1,700 CAD. So that would be roughly $1,327.08 USD for anyone who might be interested in knowing.
Thx for the commentary on single use plastics!! THat's a nice lookin card.
nice original content as usual
my 6800xt
2650mhz + 2100ram + 1030v undervolt (like in video: getting 1150 in demanding tests) , 9170 graphics in timespy extrem :) ... + home made watercooled loop.. seems i got the same temps , 70° max on tjunction
Reason why its making that noise from the pump its because the cables are, meant to be going down and the radiator should be mounted up, so the water flows down the cable not straight across where its struggling. Not a big fan of how it would look with those cables hanging especially if you have a liquid CPU cooler as well, then you will have cables every where and the build will look messy.
Can you further investigate options regarding a pci-4 compatible riser cable?
hello, wich 2 8pin connector would you use instead of the 3 connector gpu cames with??? the 2 from the external??? 1 external and the middle one???? or wich one? how can you know wich ones are the good ones
Does the 'clicking/rattling' stop of jou hold the rad. above the pump for a few minuten? If so, probably air .. if not... you again are right, not the sound hou want a pump to make
Kannst du noch ein definitives Video zu liquid metal machen? mit infos für den anfang (legierungsbildung) und langzeit-haltbarkeit? z.b. ob man in jedem fall nach einem jahr neu machen muss?
I have the 6800XT version of this...LOVE IT!!
I have the 6800XT as the exchange unit for the TUF gaming version and just recently whenever I turn on my PC I hear a sort of vibration-type noise. Pretty annoying sound that was not there when I initially installed it. Other than that during normal use it's fairly quiet. Bit of whine when playing certain games on DX12 though. Rad is mounted on top of my case as my CPU also has AIO mounted on the front.
I see that they made a new Strix, TOP model on the new silicon? is that any woth, and that should not have driver limit? worth picking up?
How did you manage to get a readout of the fan speed? No program I tried (GPU Tweak, MSI Afterburner, AMD Radeon, GPU Z...) was able to show me the actual fan speed. Also, I can't configure my own curve. It's either 0rpm or 100%.
I have the 6800 XT Rog Strix LC and it's great in temps and noise. Highest I've been able to get it to clock is 2.7Ghz 100% stable. It always maintains low 50's Celcius. Love the look too, it was made to be mounted vertically.
Have one to;) it's very nice oc straight to 2.7 ghz no problem daily use. The only problem i have with it is the same as in the vid. Rgb lights start once when i remove cpu or reset bios after that lights off;) never to be see again... I'm not a big fan of rgb but still will be nice to be able to turn it on for special occasions.
@@wulfyenstein Yeah 2.7Ghz and maxed memory 2150Mhz no problem. 2.8Ghz is a crash. I can get it to 2.76Ghz too but it's not 100% stable. 2.7 is more than plenty and I don't daily use it like that. I have a few profiles set and end up using Radeon Chill in certain games like Baldur's Gate 3 for example.
The RGB experience with me was that Asus's Armory Crate software is utter garbage imo. I installed it and it shut off the RGB in the card, it messed up all my RGB settings in my PC including ruining my G.Skill Trident Z RGB where it started to strobe extremely fast and doesn't work properly now (the RGB).
Come to find out that this GPU isn't or wasn't supported by Asus's own RGB software. It wouldn't recognize it and wasn't in supported GPU list, yet. I uninstalled it but some of the bloatware remained behind which was still messing with my RGB. I had to download an uninstaller from Asus to remove everything. Absolutely ridiculous Asus, wth.
Why does it need to be so complicated. I had a Sapphire Nitro+ 5700 XT before this GPU and the software was amazing. It controlled the GPU RGB, had some overclocking and upscaling features and that's it. I don't want to install Asus's whole suite of resource hogging software. Give me something to control my RGB for the product I bought. Anyway this is the only thing I despise about this GPU, it's Asus's own RGB software which will ruin your experience because your other components aren't made by them. Apparently Asus wants you to upgrade all your components to their brand or else. No thanks.
Even their own GPU Tweak software used in this video to tune the card is lacking at best. Just use the AMD Radeon Software, you can do all your tuning from there much easier.
Sorry for the rant lol but stuff like this annoys me because this is an amazing GPU that is ruined by this stuff. The RGB is currently on the rainbow wave pattern and that's good enough.
hi derbauer if the pump is broken after waranty what we do how we will save the gpu ?
Please use the more power tool, by igors lab, you can increase the power above the 323w limit and set the undervolt like you wanted in this video also.
I run my 6900xt red devil at 2750 mhz with a 355w limit and 1140v, please see what you can do with that tool.
I have the Red Devil 6900 XT as well. I'm running 2700, 1110mV, 2150-fast, +15% power target, and MPT@320w (about 350w in gpu-z). My timespy extreme GT1 is 67.25 FPS. What is yours?
What does that mean you are running it at 2750. You set it to 2750MHz in the OC software? or you are seeing sustained 2750MHz, which means you must have the OC software set to somewhere around 2850MHz.
@@StatsGam4er I have my clock set at 2850, and it will sustain low 2800s.
It's been 23+ years since I was around some production shops, but, shiny materials needed to be coated to reduce reflectivity.The covering used to be white.
if you raise the rad above the pump does the noise go away?
Hi. Could you possibly get better cooling than that 280? like 360 perhaps?
Well done. I'm leaving a comment for reach because you deserve more views;)
can you please do a video on your gpu mounting technique? i dont want to damage my 6900xts back plate.
Are the fans changeable ? Are they hard wired or plug?
Would this card still run with just 2x8 connections? Or must I connect all 3?
Hi, Did you check up on pump clicking noise? Is it normal?
hi you can tell me the thickness of thermal pads?
der8auer, ever solved the clicking noise sound?
That clicking noise is air trapped in pump-radiator combo. Taking radiator above pump and doing "shaman dance" with card/pump-block below rad should remove it or at least damp it down.
Yes, Steve at Gamer's Nexus talked about this.
Do you happen to know which of the 6900xt AIBs are the best? Can’t seem to find any info. Maybe a ranking if you had it?
As per usual; MSI and ASUS.
It is possible to take the plastic housing of the gpu to put some fans?
I know there’s no one to one reviews, but does anyone know how this graphics card does against the RTX 3080?
Did you ever figure out what the pump noise was?
I always thought I was the only one that doesn't like peeling crappy plastic out of everywhere. thumbs up dude!
Are there any german webshops offering this? I can only find the 6800xt version
I understand the pump is making noise and not to say you’re stupid or anything but have you tried raising the radiator above the graphics card to see if it’s trapped air in the pump?
How’s the pump? Loud or quiet?
I've got the same Card and also have the RGB problems. Does someone have solved this RGB thing. I reinstalled the drivers, then it worked. Next day it didn't word again. And every time the Asus GPU Tweak 3 software doesn't find the GPU anymore, so i can't do set even one thing. I don't want to reinstall the drivers every day. I hope you can help me.
So...Available by Christmas?
Thank you for speaking about the excessive use of plastics in this industry!!
There's a thicker plastic film on the back plate which I can understand because of all the capacitors and everything but when I peeled it it took the serial number sticker with it as well.
Gimme metal and a plastic GPU bracket any day smh

@@Acraft8 You can get cheap GPU metal bracket or support that has a magnetic base and has two adjustable clamps. Look up "glotrends Graphics Card GPU Brace Support Video Card Sag Holder/Holster Bracket for Computer Cases, Universal VGA Graphics Card Holder,Anodized Aerospace Aluminum (Black) ". That's what I used )cost £12.99 at time of purchase) for a relative's build and the magnetic base is stupidly strong. I put it in where the hdd cage would be as it as Cit F3 case (extremely cheap and budget case bought for about £20 off ebay and came with two fans). Since the case was ridiculously light when empty I shook it extremely hard holding around waist level and the base never came loose.
It's utterly ridiculous. I've had my PC for over a year now and I found yet another piece of plastic film on the motherboard when I cleaned it today.
Quick question if you can remember. Do the tubes from the cold plate rotate? Cause mine do and I am afraid the liquid might find a way to drip. Thanks
What hotspot temps does yours reach and at what overclocks/power limits?
hey I got 3 corsair sp 120 running at 300 rpm, I wanna make my rig dead silent with fixed fan curve , maby oc aswel , sound is half the goal
I have 6800xt with the same aio. Is it possible to refill the loop? There is something that looks like a fill port near the barbs on the radiator, though I'm not sure what's under the rubber there. Have anybody checked? It has been 2 years already ;)
Hey, I have the same GPU, and I have an issue!! The motherboard is Dark Hero AMD CPU 5950!! It will boot up but sometimes no display!! A white LED on the motherboard ON! Any Idea?
can this aio stand fit red devil? i can buy this cooler very cheap
Just secured one from Newegg tonight!! Can't wait to pair with a Dark Hero and 5950X!!
Dark Hero and 5950X is the setup I'm going for as well. 😎
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I have them on backorder with Tiger Direct. Should have in a few weeks
@@ralfiejr34 Thanks for the heads up.
I have used the 3080 Waterforce from gigabyte and the sound of the pump was identical... The radiator was mounted higher than the pump but after using it for more than a month it still made the sound... Very annoying
For pump clicking noise, put a small Magnet on top of the pump, and no sound, and not make any changes to the temp 😀
@1:00 also the GPU port plastic port covers which are really not necessary as the GPUs come in foam padded box. Secondly, even if you are buying pre-owned GPUs second hand etc... sellers usually never even include them. Therefore it's a unnecessary waste and expense to oems. @3:39 Yup, clearly audible. 16:28 RIP... 😅. Thanks for indepth review once again 😄.
you should check out jays vid about how to place aio correctly. that should fix the clicking noise
I may be showing some ignorance, but you have the card mounted vertically with the radiator standing vertically and lower than the pump so that any air in the line is going to and being trapped in the pump. Just an observation.
Is there a particular reason why you are twisting the AIO tubes like that? I have never seen anyone do that before, I think...
As long as there are no kinks in the tubes it's perfectly fine.
also armory crate kann man in die binary smashen. hab nach der letzten installation anfang des jahres von armory crate, das system komplett platt gemacht und hab dann einfach aura sync installiert und hatte dann meine ruhe. aber das mit den geräusch von der pumpe würd mich echt nerven.
its like 800€ more in comparison is it really worth 2k i dont think so there is a complete custom water cooling more effective were u can get a complete watercooled pc with 2 rads for round about 1k and some work
So jelly of you Roman, you already have a C8DH and I can't even get one in the BeNeLux.
i like the new intro
Unfortunately some people get worked up over smudges on the unit and try to return it.
All that overclocking on these RX 6000 series and the yield is like 2fps in benchmarks? I've seen some gain around 5-7 fps in gaming but you'd think with such a huge overclock potential you would see alot more frames.
I agree with you about the plastic. There's so much unnecessary packing material in so many products. It makes me kind of sad. Like.. what can I do about it.. nothing :/
lmfao
my 2080Super : 2220ghz core and +1,500 on memory
not bad?
Earned a subscriber as soon as he complained about the excessive plastic protective film. Very important to be environmentally conscious especially as a tech enthusiast...
So the power color rx 6900 xt ultimate which I have in my amd build is the same specs as the asus strix rx 6900 xt so both are litterly same also ur getting that clicking noise cuz the way u have the radiator at that moment once u mount it in pc the correct way u wont hear that noise it's just air being able to move to the pump which is bad for the pump it's working extra hard and will damage the pump over time.
Hey man, could you cover the RTX 3090 kingpin against this?
The pump was making those noises because the inlet on the radiator was lower than the pump on your table. Air bubbles get trapped at the highest point, in this case, the pump, which is bad.
Thanks for this. I just ordered this card from Newegg tonight. Can't wait!!
Wheres the rest of the benchmarks
Just because you talk about the excessive use of plastics and the way you cared about our enviroment, I subcribed. Just for that.
Just got one brand new for $1000 USD I’m excited tbh 😁
I got a used one, still good.
I bought once GPU with this cooling (EVGA 1080Ti Hybrid) and I returned it same day, beacuse guess what - no pump speed control! Pump ran at 100% all the time, it was unbearable. I dont know what´s wrong with this pump, possibly some air bubbles in the pump
I gave a like on this purely for the protective film comments. I bought this card at Microcenter. Awesome card, it really is. But that film was so thick and everywhere. And really stuck on there. I had to use a razor to get some of it off because it kept tearing. How can it be protective if I have to use a razor and potentially scratch it? Microcenter near me in Boston, MA get these as well as Nvidia cards pretty regularly. There is a line outside 4 hours before they open everyday. And thats without people knowing if they got any stock in.
I see you got 100% stock of this card :D.
There is absolutely (almost) no info about the Red Devil RX 6900 XT. I have the limited edition here. I would love to see a video from you about it. Please make one 🙏 you would fulfill a wish for many many people.
I just got this card and that noisy pump buzzing gives me a headache. Is it normal or is it a defective?
I tried all recommended fixes but nothing works. Someone plz help
What hotspot temps does yours reach and at what overclocks/power limits?
Not asus fault if there is plastic film... It s the compagny making the sheet of steel
I just got the ROG STRIX 3080 Ti version of this and my pump sound exactly the same and it's been doing this for over a week and my raditator have always been the highest point. Also, I've tried shaken the radiator to make the boubles move through and I could suddently hear the water flow through fast but pump still says these weird click sounds.
I have a rog strix 6800xt and the pump rattle ends up coming through the speakers if you listen quietly
Pretty obnoxious. Thinking about returning and getting something else .
@@Merknilash
Damn it's a shame... I have a new card coming in a few days, I am hoping the pump noise is gone on that card
What hotspot temps does yours reach and at what overclocks/power limits?
If I can get this i might but the price mark up is too much to justify to get one over a 3080 ti......will save to get either around April or may
The protective film is there for transport and handling in logistic centers/factory. Cause there are ppl who will return the card if there is a scratch in the stainless steel or plastic. And then it will just get scrapped the whole product for one scratch that could be prevented using a plastic film over it. Soo what is more enviormently friendly? one plastic film or scrapping the whole card.
When I started in like 2004/2005 nothing had these stupid films. So people should change their way of thinking.
In logistics and manufacturing facilities employees wear rubber gloves to avoid damaging the product, instead of that plastic the cards should be protected in esd bags as in the past, serves the same function and more. Nobody throws esd bags in the trash because it serves to put the card back when it is no longer in use or to sell in the used market so no waste.
@@der8auer The way of thinking should be oh my card has a scratch, lets not send it back. as a defective product. I saw this in the Logistic business, did you know that if an iphone box, the cardboard box has a scratch it is considered a defective product and scrapped. literally there are "trusted" companies who has the trust of apple and other companies that they will destroy the box and the content so nobody will get it. I 100% agree on how wasteful this world is, the issue unfortunately are not the companies, but the consumers and here I really mean the word consumer.
Obviously most companies do this iphone was just an example.
the protective film is about protecting the part from scratches that would bring customers to ask for a refound of the product ...because when guyz pay 1500£ a product they want it perfect so no its not a waste of ressources
I got this card and absolutely love it . Is a little eh on crackling but in view 51 dont hear it
More screen time for the cat, please!
I wanna see this card in a real build cus i think it gonna be so tight in any normal case
You shouldn't have a 'normal' case when you get this type of GPU.
The radiator fan assy's need to be above the pump otherwise you are pumping air food for thought
The more I look at these OC videos for the 6900 XT the more I feel I won the Silicon lottery wiht mine. I run mine @ 2625-2725, an dit hovers betweeen 2690-2715 core, with the memory slider maxed. I haven't even played with voltages, and I'm just on air. My house is 72 F. GPU doesn't get above 68 C. According to the temp I get off my Z63 kraken screen.

i bought the 6900 red devil because of 3x6+2 pins cant wait for my waterblock im sure it will hit 3000mhz
2Why 40mm and not a full face block?
The little plugs for the hdmi and pci e slot I don't mind but them little sheets of plastic are useless to me😅
