Tearing Down Sapphire's RX 9070 XT Pulse: Thermals, Fan Response, & Noise

Sponsor: Thermal Grizzly Duronaut on Amazon - https://geni.us/tpgcPMw
We tear down the Sapphire RX 9070 XT Pulse video card and inspect it for build quality, assembly and disassembly process, and design. We'll also benchmark and review the card for its thermals (GPU and memory temperature), frequency and clock behavior, and RPM response to GPU temperature. We've already benchmarked the RX 9070 XT for gaming performance and power consumption, so you can check out our full review for that (using this same card).
