ASRock’s Arc B580 stands out with its impressive triple-slot, triple-fan cooling solution that achieves whisper-quiet noise levels. The stylish white design enhances its appearance, making it a perfect option for white builds using an affordable GPU.

I like the looks of this one. AsRock has a winner!

The card uses a single 8-pin connector, plus PCIe slot power, allowing a maximum power draw of 225 W

Er, the picture shows 2x 8-pin PCIe sockets.

Not much related but, if Intel released the new Battlemage GPUs now, When are they going to release a driver update?

They already have. The recent driver release is Battlemage ready.

Speed % is not supported. "Great" job. Again you can't limit the RPM to reasonable levels. At least the spikes when going out of idle are very subtle. Everything will depend on the fans though. For example, my Dark Rock Pro 4 is horrible regarding the starting noise because of some clicking/scratching sound.

lexluthermiester · 2024-12-13T15:01:48+0000

The fans are not a problem. It doesn't matter if they keep coming on while idle. I personally prefer for fans not to shot off at all regardless of load state. 25% minimum is my preference.

Thank you for the review.

Unfortunately ASRock support confirmed to me that this model comes with sleeve bearing fans. I would prefer not to buy it for that reason, even though it wouldn't be an issue for a few years.

I also have one question: Does this model have an identical max power limit as the reference B580? (228W)

You do you. The rest of us will not care.

If ever.

Show of hands: Who here will HONESTLY consider buying an Intel GPU? I want you to be 100% honest, not that you would "consider it" but if you can seriously see yourself purchasing an Intel GPU as your one and only videocard

Fairly certain @Solaris17 is going to as well.

already pre-ordered. Hope next year they come out with the 7 series tier earlyish so I can pick up GUNNIRs white version.

Currently VPN'd into my server adjusting my firmware parsing scripts for battlemage.

I'm getting this one and then a B700 as well later.

I will buy it, even with caveats I've mentioned elsewhere as it's both a good and interesting product. I'd already have one ordered if I could find one at MSRP, but I can wait.

From a technical standpoint, avoiding unnecessary starting and stopping would be ideal. Fan bearings experience the most friction when starting up from idle since static friction > kinetic friction. Temperatures are great on this card, so there's no reason why the fan should start and stop on ~20-30s intervals. Hopefully it can be addressed with a BIOS or driver update for the card in the future.
