When PowerColor introduced its Liquid Devil Radeon RX 7900 XTX with a factory-installed waterblock, it said the graphics card guarantees “ultimate” overclockability, but did not elaborate. This week renowned overclocker Roman “der8auer” Hartung finally took this card for a test drive. It turns out it can overclock very well: the GPU can be pushed to 3.25 GHz…
