Hey

       I am building a PC with RX480 and was confused about which board partner to buy from. I know XFX and MSI are the best bet for rx480 but xfx doesnt sell in my country and msi has been out of stock for a while now. I was gonna go for sapphire nitro but the online reviews say that it runs hot and loud. The thing is all those reviews are atleast 5 months old, does anyone have experience with this card? has it improved with driver updates?

I think the problem with the card is the default curve. The heatsink is also small though, so that doesn't help. You can get it and set a custom fan curve that maxes out at 65%.
