Key Specifications

Triple Fan Cooling with Striped Axial Design

The ASRock Steel Legend features a triple-fan cooling system with Striped Axial Fans engineered for enhanced lateral airflow. This design draws more air across the cooling array, reducing operating temperatures even during extended gaming sessions. The 0dB Silent Cooling technology ensures fans stop completely when temperatures are low, delivering silent operation during light workloads.

Premium Thermal Solution for Sustained Performance

ASRock has engineered this card with a nickel-plated copper base that maximizes GPU contact area for superior heat transfer. Ultra-fit heatpipes are consolidated to optimize contact between components, while high-density metal welding eliminates gaps between pipes and fins to improve heat dissipation. A premium thermal pad and Nano Thermal Paste ensure efficient heat transfer from critical components to the heatsink.

Polychrome SYNC RGB Lighting System

The Steel Legend features integrated ARGB LEDs with Polychrome SYNC support, allowing you to create custom lighting effects that can be synchronized with compatible ASRock motherboards. The ARGB header enables connection to additional RGB strips and devices for expanded lighting customization. An LED switch lets you easily turn lighting on or off based on your preferences.

Intel Arc Gaming Technologies

Built with Intel Arc architecture, this card supports Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) for AI-enhanced upscaling in over 150 games, delivering higher frame rates without sacrificing visual quality. Intel XeSS Frame Generation creates additional frames for smoother gameplay, while Intel Xe Low Latency technology reduces input lag for competitive gaming. The 160 Intel Xe Matrix Extensions (XMX) engines enable advanced AI capabilities for both gaming and creative applications.
