STIRX?? THE GOD DAMN STRIX WITH RGB???

 

In fact, I should think about ocing it now

Yep but I lost the fucking silicon lottery so badly ;-;

 

How can it not even do +80MHz with power settings maxed out? 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Next cheapest RX 480 4GB is 50 cad more

That's pretty steep. The cheapest card around here that I could get was Sapphire's 8 gig model (couldn't even find a 4 gig model in stock)

@tlink the pads were suppose to attach to the heatpipes so that's why they did not come in contact with the board and make looks like loose.

Did they ask Intel for spare heatsinks or something?

You may not want to open up the non-SC EVGA 1060 then...

@deXxterlab97 I've been considering this, or the 230$ MSI armor RX470. perfect timing :P. Is it possible you'll upload a temperature at full load, and a 1920x1080 benchmark instead of 1600x900? xD

Personal build >  New-ish AMD main gaming setup           

   PLEASE QUOTE OR @ ME FOR A RESPONSE xD
