Radeon RX 5500 XT 8GB GDDR6

The MSI Radeon RX 5500 XT MECH 8G OC is a PCI Express 4.0 graphics card built for 1080p gaming. It uses the AMD Radeon GPU with 1408 stream processors and 8GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus. The card delivers a core clock of 1647 MHz and a boost clock of 1845 MHz with an effective memory speed of 14 Gbps. It supports up to four displays via one HDMI 2.0b and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors.

Sustained load with 140W TDP

The board has a thermal design power of 140W and uses a dual-fan cooler with TORX Fan 3.0 blades. The design mixes steep curved blades for accelerated airflow with traditional blades for steady flow across the heatsink. This layout aims to keep temperatures stable during extended gaming sessions rather than only short bursts. The 8-pin power connector feeds the GPU under continuous load.

Check PSU and case clearance

The manufacturer recommends a 450W power supply to run this card reliably. Verify that your PSU has a spare 8-pin PCIe power cable available. Confirm the physical length fits your chassis and that the dual-slot bracket aligns with your motherboard's PCI Express 4.0 slot. The card is HDCP ready and supports AMD Radeon FreeSync for variable refresh displays.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the MSI RX 5500 XT MECH 8G OC get with its 140W TDP running all day?

The card has a 140W thermal design power and uses a dual-fan TORX Fan 3.0 cooler with steep curved blades for accelerated airflow and traditional blades for steady flow across the heatsink.

What power supply and connector does the MSI RX 5500 XT MECH 8G OC require to operate?

A 450W power supply is recommended and the card draws auxiliary power through a single 8-pin connector.

Will the MSI RX 5500 XT MECH 8G OC work in my older motherboard that only has PCI Express 3.0 slots?

Yes, the PCI Express 4.0 interface is backward compatible with PCI Express 3.0 motherboards, though bandwidth will be limited to 3.0 speeds.
