Should just clock your 470 to over 800 on the core and you're just about at 480 speed.

Here check the below review out of a 470 clocked to 775 MHz on the core, look how close it is to the 480 in performance, if you can keep the temps under control and you have a good clocker, you should consider it.

ive got a antec 1200 case and temps r good. do u think i should manually set the fan speed?

RavenXXX2 · 27 Jul 2010 at 22:50

Yeah don't let it run on auto, try 70% and see what temps are like.

evo4ever32 · 27 Jul 2010 at 22:53
