Sapphire RX 5700 XT Nitro+ Review

The lack of included cable may seem a minor complaint as Sapphire’s TriXX 7.0 software, which includes a feature called NITRO Glow, does a perfectly decent job of controlling the lighting in the graphics card. The better approach, as we show in our video, is to use ARGB to link the graphics card to your motherboard.

This is especially significant if you decide to invest in Sapphire’s optional ARGB fan upgrade kit when it is launched at the end of the month. It is disappointing we did not receive a sample of the fan kit as it would have been interesting to see the full ARGB show in action.

TriXX 7.0 also has a hardware monitoring function but cannot be used to overclock your graphics card.

Swapping out the fans is a simple matter of removing one screw for each fan and the lifting away the assembly in one unit.

Dutch Retailer talks to Kitguru and retracts ‘RTX 5090 recall’ claim

Earlier today, a KitGuru reader reached out to us to let us know about a rather bold claim from a retailer based in the Netherlands. Our reader Ben, who spent €3399 on an MSI RTX 5090 Suprim more than a month ago, was informed by the store that they would not receive their graphics card anytime soon due to a 'product recall'. Specifically, the claim was made that Nvidia had recalled a number of RTX 5090 graphics cards due to a potential fire hazard.
