Limited space begs an efficient cooling system, and the Phoenix Radeon™ RX 550 delivers with a fan that sports dual ball bearings and is certified for IP5X dust resistance. Whether you’re upgrading an outdated card or building your first gaming rig, the Phoenix is a potent package that delivers latest-gen performance.

COOLING

Dual Ball Fan Bearings

2x longer lifespan

Different bearing types have unique pros and cons. Ball bearings excel at durability and can last up to twice as long as sleeve-bearing designs.

IP5X Dust Resistance

Keep it clean

Dust is enemy number one for fans. It’s easy to clean the blades, but taking the fan apart to remove dust that has made its way inside is not a simple task. IP5X certification keeps nasty particulates out of the housing, so you’ll never need that deep clean.

ENGINEERING

Auto-Extreme Technology

Precision automated manufacturing

Auto-Extreme Technology is an automated manufacturing process that sets new standards in the industry by allowing all soldering to be completed in a single pass. This reduces thermal strain on components and avoids the use of harsh cleaning chemicals, resulting in less environmental impact, lower manufacturing power consumption, and a more reliable product overall.

Compact Design

The pieces fit

Perfect proportions maximise compatibility with the latest chassis.
