Gorkie Oops. That was something new for me. :slight_frown: Thanks for the info :slight_smile:
So it really is not that a good GPU ???

It’s a great GPU if you don’t mess with the voltage.
I’m sure aftermarket custom RX 480s will have 6 pin and 8 pin connectors so OC doesn’t become a problem.

I like to blame Jeb Bush, seems like a good scape goat.

AMD is releasing a fix today it looks like: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4rgr13/official_amd_pcie_statement_and_new_driver_1671/

I also suspect that this was overblown. People just need to stop buying crappy power supplies.

I didn’t read much into it as I bought one and have an AMD contact but from what I did hear, most of the motherboards that blew were probably on there last legs anyways lol
