You mean you lose idle fan stop without the ASUS app? That's a shame, but not really a deal-breaker unless you can hear the fans at idle.

In which case, Asus' BIOS/Software team are even more idiotic than I thought they were.

I never install any software for my reviews, fan stop works perfectly without ASUS app.

Aren't the Evoke and Mech literally the same card but with different fan shrouds?

Same PCB. Slight difference in heatsink (same number of heat pipes, Evoke's has a coldplate while Mech is Direct heat pipe), evoke has a metal backplate while Mech's is plastic (and actually caused blackscreens on mine).

Yeah same card, but strange enough different BIOS. I tried to use RBE and MPT but edited BIOS cannot be flashed.
I was quite shock after came back to AIB after long hiatus since R9 290 reference , only to find that reference is much easier to tinker with.

You tried flashing to an Evoke? I know Evoke bios has 5w more power limit compared to Mech, and I figured it would would since same pcb... hmm..

Yeah my main concern is to be able to control the ext fan coming from the GPU fan header.

I'm gonna double check that, maybe is because I modified the fan curve on Radeon settings?

Hello W1zzard, could you include also power consumption after overclocking (average, peak maximum) into the charts? I'm watching your reviews more than 10 years, and this thing was missing for me for all those years. Not sure, if someone didn't suggested it earlier, or you have some specific reason to not include it, but sometimes, card maximum and peak power consumption raise so much after overclocking, that it is not worth to do.

Great suggestion, I'll look into that for future reviews

Hmm, where is @IceShroom ? he loves to berate AIBs using 3 slot, 3 fan coolers on "apparently" efficient Nvidia cards.

Well efficient card dont need that much cooling unlike hot and power hungry Radeon cards. Or Nvidias cards not really efficient at all.
