To cool the GPU you need to buy: Radiator (at least x120x240x25),reservoir , pump, connecting pipes, connectors, at least distilled water, fans. But if you add, CPU cooling as well you need a CPU block and a larger radiator. Optional control circuit for fans and pump RGP accessories display flow . but not required. GL.
but like i said in a previous post, its already 3rd post about this GPU, and still nothing new they told us :)
The PowerColor Liquid Devil Series will be available on the week of March 15th.
The real issue is how badly marked up these would be more because other models are already marked up. I can understand a slight mark-up over the basic 6900XT MSRP due to the semi-custom EK WB, but given how everything's been inflated due to demand of the air-cooled variants, this one could probably be marked up even more as a side-effect.
EK sells blocks for reference 6800XT/6900XT in range from 150€-220€ depending on which style one chooses

The regular Red Devil 6900XT for example cost 1449€ in Germany at Mindfactory. They have that card very often in stock.
So most probably these will cost in range of 1649€ to 1700€. :(
As also comparison they had Sapphire 6900XT Toxic limited Edition in stock for 1799€ but that is a special edition so premium price.
These are also kind of special. :rolleyes:
I hope PowerColor chooses higher binned chips for these otherwise only advantage of these would be temperatures and noise and not performance especially for 6900XT.
I had 6900XT Red Devil for one week before I return it back to Mindfactory.
I was not very lucky with that sample.
The performance was not that amazing. It was only about 5% faster than mine watercooled 6800XT while consuming much higher power to achieve this performance increase. :oops:
As a veteran water cooling "enthusiast".
Much easier to sell a card when you slap the original cooler back on.
It seem here in Germany we have many enthusiast who dare to buy used cards over eBay.:p
When I sell these cards I usually offer the original cooler as free addition to the package if somebody is interested to put it on again.
Vega 64 was sold very easily and with a good price on eBay of around 60% of original cost. I sold it after 2.5 years.
I was blown away when I sold Radeon VII watercooled on eBay.
Unbelievably I got 700€ for that in December 2020. :twitch:
My original cost was about 950€ with water block and I had the card for almost 1.5 years. :D
This made my move to 6800XT easier, financing large chunk of the 999€ that I paid for reference 6800XT which I have also now put under water. :D
