If I get brave later I may try that bios and I'll be a little more methodical than simply turn the dials up and see what happens. I did figure out that the persistent video error was probably my unstable overclock being applied on startup

Hybrid Cooling An RX480 Nitro+ By Sapphire. The goal was to hit 1500 Mhz. I achieved 1450. The one the benchmark run for 1500. I got a BSOD Video TDR Failure and this persisted through several reboots. It never got above 55C. The card is now running 1340 at 1.08V because I only really wanted a quite card. Before I started I needed specific information on the board I'm using. This video gives us an idea of the operating range of the VRM, and it basically just needs some airflow. the same should be true for the Vram but I have small heat-sinks for them both anyway. Lets get started I am using a NZXT G10 and a Corsair H70 Disassembly of the card. The Back plate screws into the Fan shroud through the PCB. The heat sink is fastened directly to the PCB A quick test fit shows that one of the Foam up stands for the G10 get in way of the power connector. So I removed it. Install these heat-sinks to the mosfets Install these heat-sinks to the Vram. Some of these are not centered on the chips because of the clearance issues with the AIO. Assemble NZXT G10 Normally Install I don't have the Bench-marking scores because I seriously thought I fried my card trying for 1500 Mhz. I may update this post with 1450 Mhz results for Timespy, Firestrike, and Catzilla at a later date if I get requests. For Most Gaming loads this setup does not exceed 50C on the GPU and the Noctua fans keep it quite. The pump is wired directly to a Molex Power adapter for a fan and just runs 100% all the time. And the VRM fan is attached to the case fan hub.

NOPE. BMW. Blame the Germans

BMW's did this first. This isn't new. And I'm not really sure why they are picking on the last real hold out of big v8 engines, America.

Never really considered getting a Zotac. This has changed my mind.

That Maxwell based GPU is my favorite thing about the JK

My Favorite thing about the M8 is that I have one.
