Dual fan AMD 6700 XT GPU. I could only find one review of this particular model and it seems positive enough.

There are three Asrock Challenger 6700 XT models and this is the cheapest one with 2 fans rather than three on the others, and is 2 slots wide.

Not the greatest deal of all time obviously but after some decent research it's the best I can find today.

Also comes with a cheap (~$60) PSU that seems to have decent reviews also.

Has free shipping as far as I can tell but I didn't actually buy it.

Limited stocks only. Limited to 2 per household.

    Recommended PSU for a 6700XT is 650w. Why.

      On a good PSU this is overkill, yes. On a bad PSU it is better to recommend a higher amount to cover their bases (as don't want to push a bad PSU to explode)

      Misread the intent of your comment (PSU provided is too low) - please disregard my post.

    Anyone thinking about buying this deal please don't. Recommended PSU for this 6700xt is 650W.

    Recommended watts is always conservative as the 6700xt draws 230watts.

    Also not all PSUs is going to give you 80% efficiency.

    A 650 watt PSU vs a 550watt PSU with 80% efficiency will be the same.

    In this case the 550 watt PSU with 80% efficiency will provide you with 440 watts of usable power. 230 watts for GPU leaving you with 210 watts for the rest of your system which is plenty.

      I think the point people are making is that it's not worth the risk using a cheap PSU on an expensive card.

      • scottySK on 14/08/2021 - 07:39

        The bundled power supply is fine. Been using in a 980ti build for years

  • HD9990 on 13/08/2021 - 15:19

    gone…. that's quick…

    • B3 on 13/08/2021 - 15:44

      As noted even without the PSU it's still the cheapest 6700 XT on.the market. Some people seem to prefer it without the PSU.

        Not if I can sell the PSU easily for 50….

          You can buy it brand new and delivered for less

    Hope this isn't the same situation as the recent gigabyte 750w

    To summarize, gigabyte made a power supply that pops under less than ideal conditions, and Newegg knew this. Rather than chuck them, they bundled them with graphics cards which are currently a hot commodity. When the power supply broke and people tried to return it, newegg said that because they were sold as a pair, if they wanted to return the psu they had to return the graphics card as well.

      wow, what a d*** move by newegg i gotta say.

    • Mandalorians on 13/08/2021 - 20:22

      Same for AU retailers
      I got a pre-built system from techfast, and requested them don't give me GP-P850GM as widely reported issues, but they still supplied it.

    I'd be a bit weary of the Challenger D. IIRC it was hardly better than the pretty bad reference 5700 XT last generation and without reviews I can't really say it'll be much better. The Challenger Pro with 3 fans however is in line with the Gigabyte Gaming OC, which has average cooling, so I wouldn't be expecting silence from this one.
