My rx 480 from asus (the strix oc model) have what i would call medium coil whine. as long as FPS usually stays below 75 its so little that i have to directly listen for it. However the second it goes north of 90 it goes bad really quick(though it depends on the specific game and the load it puts on the gpu). Its connect to a corsair ax860 plat psu so the power is pretty darn clean.

Exactly what Crack are you on? Mine is silent.
As with every other card. Including my GTX 1080 which howled like a banshee, its quietened down now though. Not to mention all the 970's which even had its own thread devoted to it...

I dont think mines got any whine , tested it on Heaven and a few games etc etc , but the fan noise is a bt wooshy and can be heard , so i have capped the RPM to 1400 and it seems to be enough to keep it max 75 with full clock speed at 1342
Associate
Where is it you've capped it in, is it using the Wattman settings aye?
Associate
Yeah capped on Wattman to 1400 RPM , works well and still get the 0 RPM when it drops under 910 Mhz default
Not wishing to start another thread...
I have just picked up a Freesync monitor and currently have a 960 4GB.
I wish to pull the trigger on a 480 (actually probably a 580 tbh..). A 480/580 4GB would suffice at 1080p right? If I game at 1080 then is there any reason to get an 8GB card.
The only game that seems to go above 3 that I play is GTAV.
Cheers.

For anyone who doubts that the RX 480 Red Devil fits inside a Corsair Air 240:
I think Corsair vastly understated the dimensions for this case. They say the max length is 290mm, whereas the Devil is 300mm with plenty of room to spare even with a front fan!

Ok cheers, will have to keep this in mind, gonna have to go back in there and have another tinker around try and understand it a little better.
Hi, I bought the Asus dual RX480 8GB when it was on sale at £179.99 from you guys and I didn't get any voucher for Doom.
I thought maybe you didn't need a code or something so I downloaded the AMD product verification tool here https://www.amd4u.com/amdgamepromo/ but after installing the card and drivers it failed the validation test for some reason. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here...

Any substantive reason why similar cards from XFX, Sapphire and MSI are £20-£30 more than the Powercolor Red Devil?

My code was printed on my receipt. The code needs to be entered into the amd rewards site and it will give you a steam code for the game
I guess they do that so people can't complain if they try and put a card in that doesn't quite fit?
Interesting they seem to have changed the orientation of the badge on the side so it's the right way up, mines upside down!
Out of interest what max gpu temperatures are you getting and are you running the gpu fans at default?
Associate
I realise we have probably been over this a few times before but...
What is the uppermost comfortable temperature limit I should be looking for these things to go to, specifically the ASUS Dual OC model?

The reference cards originally had a temperature target of 80°C. The Asus dual RX480 has a target of 65°C by default. This makes it sound like a leaf blower. I set mine to 75 and it ran much quieter. Unfortunately I noticed mine was artifacting and causing desktop freezes even at stock clocks and voltages though so I'm returning it

I had similar issues with my Asus RX480 Dual OC, solved mine by changing the cable even though it worked perfectly fine with the 7970 i had in previously. The cable i'm now using come with a spare Now TV box, but with 1440p and FreeSync you may need a Vesa certified cable.
