ASRock Intel Arc B580 Challenger OC 12GB Graphics Card

The ASRock Intel Arc B580 Challenger OC delivers exceptional 1080p and 1440p gaming performance with 12GB GDDR6 memory and a boosted 2740MHz clock speed. Built on Intel's Battlemage architecture, this graphics card features 20 Compute Units and 160 XMX Engines for AI-accelerated gaming through Intel XeSS technology.

Advanced Cooling Performance

The dual-fan cooling system utilizes ASRock's Striped Axial Fan design with enhanced airflow optimization. Ultra-fit heatpipes are consolidated to maximize contact with the GPU baseplate, while high-density metal welding improves heat dissipation efficiency. The 0dB Silent Cooling feature stops fans during low temperatures for completely silent operation, spinning up only when needed.

Premium Component Design

Built with Super Alloy components including Japanese SP-Cap capacitors for lower ESR and improved reliability. The Smart Power Stage (SPS) Dr.MOS design monitors current and temperature per phase, delivering stable power for enhanced overclocking capability. Premium power chokes provide up to three times better saturation current, while the 2oz copper PCB ensures lower temperatures and higher energy efficiency.

Intel Arc Gaming Technologies

Experience AI-boosted performance with Intel Xe Super Sampling (XeSS) in over 150 supported games. XeSS Frame Generation and Xe Low Latency technologies deliver smoother, more responsive gameplay. DirectX 12 Ultimate support enables hardware-accelerated ray tracing for realistic lighting and reflections at 1080p and 1440p resolutions.

Content Creation Capabilities

Twin media transcoders enable dual-encode workflows for faster video exports. The powerful Xe media engine supports cutting-edge AV1 codec alongside popular formats, accelerating high-resolution content creation and editing. Built-in XMX AI engines power local AI experiences including text-to-image generation through Intel's AI Playground app.

Connectivity and Display Output

Three DisplayPort 2.1 outputs (one primary UHBR13.5, two UHBR10) and one HDMI 2.1a port support up to 7680x4320 resolution across four displays simultaneously. The PCIe 4.0 x8 interface ensures broad motherboard compatibility, while a single 8-pin power connector requires a 650W PSU.

Build Quality and Design

The stylish metal backplate with thermal pads enhances both structural rigidity and thermal efficiency. Multi-color LED indicators add visual appeal with on/off switching capability. High-density glass fabric PCB construction protects against humidity-related electrical shorts. Precise screw torque assembly optimizes cooler mounting pressure without GPU die damage. At 249 x 132 x 41mm and 720g, this 2-slot card fits most standard PC cases.

Dual Fan Design Optimized Cooling Efficiency
Provides not only the fancy outlook but also the optimized cooling efficiency for the best balance between performance and silence.

Stylish Metal Backplate
With the Phantom Gaming look, the stylish metal backplate on the Phantom Gaming graphics cards makes it more fancy in visual and solid in construction. Otherwise, the thermal pad at the backside also helps to enhance the thermal efficiency.

Striped Axial Fan Designed For Enhanced Airflow
ASRock's custom Striped Axial Fan delivers enhanced airflow to optimize cooling from not only the stripe structure on each fan blade but also the polishing surface on the bottom side.

LED Indicator More Decoration. More Beauty
Multiple-color LED Indicator embellishes the graphics card to make it more beautiful.

0dB Silent Cooling Spin For Cooling, Stop For Silence
The fan spins when the temperature goes high for the optimal cooling, and stops when the temperature goes low for the complete silence.

LED Switch Switch On/Off As You Want
You can switch LED on or off depends on the scenarios or your need.

Nano Thermal Paste Perfect Thermal Teamwork
Eliminate the gaps in the contact area to maximize heat transfer and thermal efficiency.

Ultra-fit Heatpipe Consolidated to Maximize the Contact
The heatpipes are consolidated to maximize the contact among each others and also the GPU baseplate for the optimized heat dissipation.

High-density Metal Welding Improve Heat Dissipation
Effectively isolate all coverage of the gap between pipe and stacked fins, hence improve heat dissipation effectively.

Precise Screw Torque Optimized Mounting Pressure
ASRock adopts precise screw torque when assembling its graphics cards to optimize the cooler mounting pressure to improve thermal efficiency while avoiding damage to GPU die.

Japanese SP-Cap
With a high conductive polymer as the electrolyte, it has a lower equivalent series resistance (ESR) to provide outstanding electrical characteristics. In addition to that, it also has excellence in product operational life, reliability and heat resistance.

SPS (Smart Power Stage)
Dr.MOS design features the latest SPS (Smart Power Stage) technology. It's optimized for monitoring current and temperature of each phase, thus delivering smoother and neater power to the GPU with enhanced performance and OC capability.

Premium Power Choke
Compared to traditional chokes, ASRock's premium power chokes effectively make the saturation current up to three times better, thus providing enhanced and improved Vcore voltage to the graphics card.

2oz Copper PCB
Using only carefully selected copper materials for PCB layers, 2oz Copper PCB delivers lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for overclocking.

High Density Glass Fabric PCB
High Density Glass Fabric PCB design that reduces the gaps between the PCB layers to protect the graphics card against electrical shorts caused by humidity.
