~Q Group Chat [AMP Laboratory Kitchen: 679837318]~ITX BlessingIf you are a player who frequently follows hardware news, you should be aware of a manufacturer that emerged during the mining boom, Xifeng ZEPHYR. At the time of its product launch, many players speculated whether it was a subsidiary of Yingtong or someone else’s brand, and its core source remained a mystery.As a manufacturer not bound by A/N, regardless of their GPU source, Xifeng’s non-reference design is indeed eye-catching, addressing many user pain points and achieving effective sales in certain vertical markets. The latest product is their RTX 5060Ti 16G Sakura Blowing Snow X.
From the name alone, it doesn’t reveal much, but its design features a white and silver color scheme, with the main fan shroud made from a solid aluminum block CNC machined, paired with a self-developed 102mm ball bearing fan, which is also semi-transparent. Most importantly, this graphics card is designed with a single fan, targeting users who demand compactness for mini-ITX setups.The RTX 5060Ti 16G Sakura Blowing Snow X has a dual-slot thickness, requires only one 8PIN power supply, has a TDP of 180W, and is priced at 3899 yuan, which is quite reasonable for ITX users. Additionally, a few days ago, Xifeng showcased a very extravagant single fan RTX 4070Ti SUPER Sakura Blowing Snow X.
It is said that on the 4070TS, this non-reference design features a newly designed cooling module with an integrated mirror copper base. In the face of the RTX 4070Ti SUPER’s 285W power consumption, it achieved a core temperature of 74.6 degrees, memory temperature of 72 degrees, and hotspot temperature of 89.2 degrees; during real-world gaming tests, the core frequency was approximately 2835MHz, with a maximum temperature of only 66 degrees and a hotspot temperature of just 78 degrees.
In the comments section, Xifeng officials also revealed that they are designing a shoulder-mounted single fan graphics card, equipped with a 12015 fan, and will support users to DIY and replace other specifications of fans, with related plans expected to debut next year.
Recently, Xifeng also collaborated with the electromechanical cooling manufacturer Xianma to launch the “Horse Girl” graphics card, the Wind God MX 4070SUPER OC, which appears to have just a new design backplate and added the Xianma secondary IP character “Xianma Ji”.
Most people may not have heard of the Xifeng brand, and I personally do not particularly recommend it. The target audience for this manufacturer must meet two conditions: first, a clear ITX demand user, and second, the IP is located in Guangdong. Therefore, as many recommendation videos suggest, think carefully before purchasing.Previous Reading: ASUS AYW Brand Adds New Products, AYW Gaming LC 360 All-in-One Water Cooling Launched
