Bought the card on that Mega-Deal few days back
Gave it a go on a clean OS (win10-64)
Unigine Valley 2900ish on extreme HD, which is 400 over my EVGA GTX970 SSC. Pretty impressed with the performance to be honest

Card isnt too loud, heard much worse. In regards to coil whine, i cannot hear it, yet. Fans are low and normally whine is audible

Power draw seems to be reasonable compared to what AMD normally has
Temps are 83 under load, perhaps will go higher in BF4 gaming
Dropped down to 81 with a closed case, cudos..
Cougar QBX has a terrible intake so not a massive surprise

Anyone else with feedback? What are the max temps before it throttles?
In Unigine Valley temp readings are always wrong or absent, should i be worried? :D
I did have a fuzzy screen after format, but i think thats becouse retarded win10 installed old catalyst app
Ive uninstalled and all seems well

Got mine today, but can't use it till next week until I get the water block for it.

You tried overclocking it atal? I ain't read much into it, put seems like you take the power limits off or something?
 
There is a small owners thread with a few of us sharing out OC results and experience, may be worth a read: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18696495 not massive as its a small club, hah

Temps absent in valley are normal, either that or is shows a billion odd degrees for AMD cards :) just use a on screen display to show the proper temps and what not.

The card will throttle on the stock cooler well before 83 degrees but that normal behaviour. You can monitor the core clock speeds with Afterburner once again and with the stock profile you will see throttling. Typically with stock fan profile 900-950 Mhz range on clock would not be unexpected, possibly less.
