RX 480 problem

[Darkful]

Hello everyone 

since RX 480 suffered from a bad problem pulling too much power through the PCI which causes problems in old cheap motherboards 

I want to ask will my Gigabyte Technology Co. Ltd. B75M-HD3 work fine with custom RX 480 or maybe there is chance that I will have problem ?

Non reference RX480 wont have this problem.

No, it is not in architecture. It is simply in power delivery. You can even fix it by yourself by very simple soldering to the PCB on the reference card.

ASUS Strix, Sapphire Nitro have this fixed. Other will have it fixed too. There is nothing to worry about.

This problem was corrected via a swift AMD driver update.

 

This problem also only affects reference RX 480s.

 

There is no need to worry about this.

Like @WereCat said its not the arc,its simply the reference card with its tiny 6pin connector,the power delivery was lowered with AMD's driver updates and after market coolers should have no problems

It is fixed in the new drivers.
