This video is a bit of a double-feature -- a light review of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE, which is now available globally, and my first ever build with rear-facing motherboard connectors. The RX 7900 GRE is represented by PowerColor's Hellhound edition, and the MSI Project Zero motherboard with back-side connectors is fully supported by Corsair's new 2500D case. I also got to try out building with Corsair's proprietary iCue Link ecosystem for RGB and fan connection, and I included some quick tests to finish things off. Enjoy!
