Another 1060 gb v RX 480 8gb problem

[Modjo]

Ah, I see. So it's more of a 'getting it in' rather than a 'it won't fit at all' scenario. Been there. So yeah, I'd rather take the mobo out and fit it in that way as opposed to bending my case.

could have pit the rad at the top?

Those aren't pics of my case bud. Just a few I found on PartPicker, front rads aren't the problem, it's where the latch is (height issues, not length)

The devil is quite thin but is quite long..

For information, I measured the 8gb devil, tape measure butted to the case bracket , it's 29.5cm long.

Call it 30cm to be safe.

Grab a riser cable and get to work on some case modding. Then buy the card you want.

Thanks for posting this. Think its safe to say this card will fit no problem in my Air 240.

How would you rate its performance? Quiet even in OC mode?

 

[mattyfez]

Very quiet. It does run hot though, mine hits 80c when gaming, but according to powercolour that's normal.
Performance is very good at 1080p, it copes with ease everything I've thrown at it.

The only time I've noticed frame rates drop is on witcher 3 with everything turned to max and Hairworks on full, turning down Hairworks its smooth as you like.

Well, my new card arrived. Fair enough, it's a *B* Grade item (£209.99) but I was sooooo looking forward to opening the original box, instead I was greeted with this......(obviously not OcUK's fault)

How did you get the card out of the box? Looks like you haven't opened it in the second pic? lol

 

[Modjo]

Opened the good end.....

Well, managed to get the card installed, all I had to do was loosen the mobo and slide it back about 10mm to get the card to dip under the back of case (see pic). Was worried the the card was dead after seeing the state of the box it was delivered in and the damage to the backplate (pics above), but it works & so far, I'm well impressed with performance compared to my 7950.
