Short board free PCIe power supply, suitable for most small case 1080p basic games.
AMD released the Radeon RX 6400 graphics chip a while ago, and ASUS accompanied the launch of the Phoenix Radeon RX 6400 and Dual Radeon RX 6400. We borrowed the smaller Phoenix Radeon RX 6400 to play with.
The specifications of the Radeon RX 6400 seem to be generally disapproved by players, and whether it is good or bad does not need to be repeated. In reality, the Radeon RX 6400 and its competitor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti are both PCIe-free power supplies and easy to miniaturize design. The market reference price of physical products falls around 4,990 yuan, which is suitable for games with low requirements/low requirements. Installed application.
Phoenix Radeon RX 6400 Design Configuration
In any case, ASUS offers the Phoenix Radeon RX 6400 and Dual Radeon RX 6400, and there are some similarities between them. Like the appearance, the heat dissipation module cover is the same tone, only simple lines are used to create a visual sense, while the Dual Radeon RX 6400 has more LED lighting effect decoration, adopts dual fan design configuration, and adds more metal reinforced back according to the length. plate.
Phoenix Radeon RX 6400 adopts Axial-tech fan, which advertises that the longer blade (about 9.5cm) can increase the downward air pressure and other characteristics, and its axis is a double ball type. As for the aluminum alloy heat sink, the official did not add more ink, it should be the same as the past design. The cooling modules of the two products are similar at first glance, except that the Dual Radeon RX 6400 has 2 fans and has a 0dB stop function.
Whether this level of products requires dual fans is a matter of opinion. In short, the lengths of the two are 196mm and 201mm respectively, and the thicknesses also occupy 2 slots. Although it is an entry-level product, ASUS still introduces 304 stainless steel back plate, which is more corrosion-resistant and more textured than before. The output interface adopts a standardized configuration, each with 1 set of HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4a, and supports up to 7680 x 4320 resolution.
Phoenix Radeon RX 6400 Test Experience
The typical power consumption of the Radeon RX 6400 is only 53W and does not require a PCIe power supply. AMD recommends that the system power supply is only 350W. The standard power supply capacity of the PCIe slot is 75W, which means that the Radeon RX 6400 still has some room to play, but AMD has locked the overclocking flexibility, so the current clock of each product is set at 2,039MHz for gaming and 2,321MHz for acceleration.
The Radeon RX 6400 application is targeted to play the game at medium texture quality at 1920 x 1080 resolution, and the 3DMark benchmark and gaming test results are shown below. The bandwidth of the 3DMark PCIe functional test is only 6.33GB/s, because the Radeon RX 6400 is only designed for PCIe 4.0 x4 interface. From the results of the game, it has a certain usability, and usually there is no need to reduce the quality or even the resolution.
As for other operating characteristics of the Phoenix Radeon RX 6400, it passed the 99.7% evaluation in 3DMark burn-in mode. During this period, the chip temperature was up to 60°C, the Hot Spot was 73°C, and the maximum fan speed of 1795RPM was about 49% of the design speed. Since the waste heat of the chip itself is not high, and the heat dissipation module is equipped with an Axial-tech fan, the heat dissipation capacity and operation noise suppression are both good.
testing platform
ASUS’s entry-level product design in the past two or three years has improved its vision and texture compared to the past, and it is not too exaggerated, so it is much more attractive, at least I think so. In addition to the appearance, the Phoenix Radeon RX 6400 also has a well-balanced heat dissipation structure. It is not too enthusiastic, noisy, and has a moderate length. Overall, it is a satisfactory entry-level short card.
