Conclusion
...the card is eerily quiet, very cool, and exhibits excellent fan control whilst keeping coil while to a minimum.ASRock's strategy with the Radeon RX 6600 XT Phantom Gaming D OC is to build the most capable cooler for AMD's nascent GPU. The company succeeds in this aim as the card is eerily quiet, very cool, and exhibits excellent fan control whilst keeping coil while to a minimum.
A single 8-pin connector is a sage move, and whilst we're not enamoured by the RGB, ASRock does it in muted tones. There is nothing much wrong with the Phantom Gaming D OC card itself - ASRock does a good job - but the £470 street price sticks in one's craw, and there's not much ASRock can do about it.
If you have your heart set on the Radeon RX 6600 XT, however, and have the financial clout to procure one without buyer's remorse, ASRock's model is a solid choice.

Overclocks well enough
