I WISH you could buy this at MSRP - AORUS Radeon RX 6800 XT Master Type C

The video opens with Linus and the team preparing to examine the AORUS Radeon RX 6800 XT Master Type C, highlighting that the product is sponsored content while focusing on its cooling design and distinctive features. Early on, the hosts discuss the card's MAX-Covered Cooling system, including two outer 115 mm fans and a unique 100 mm center blade with Wind Claw design, which is described as a mechanism to pull air across the entire heatsink surface. They explain on-box features like RGB Fusion 2.0, an LCD Edge View display, and the BIOS switch for OC versus Silent modes, while noting the sturdy three-slot chassis and backplate. The unboxing sequence reveals warranty details, a small metal badge, and the aesthetics of the shroud, emphasizing build quality and weight, before installing the card and showcasing the side LCD in action. In the testing phase, the card’s cooling philosophy is explained as an entirely unified copper heat plate feeding multiple heat pipes into the stacked fins, delivering strong thermal performance during a GPU benchmark that peaks around 60 to 66 degrees with the CPU contributing to noise. The reviewers observe the fans slowing slightly to maintain performance, compare the audible profile to a Noctua cooler, and conclude that the overall cooling and performance are solid, with RGB and LCD features adding personality. The video ends with final impressions, noting the card’s strong performance in stress tests, the practicality of MSRP availability being challenging, and a reminder to check linked retailers for the AORUS RX 6800 XT Master Type C and Gigabyte motherboards, closing with a lighthearted nod to the team and the ongoing supply dynamics in the GPU market.
