I just read that a few people have reported the RX480 has killed their motherboard PCI-e slots...

I'd want to see pictures first, There are a lot of people out there that love to spread bull droppings.

Depends if I saw an enormous vaporizer hovering in orbit.

Installing my brothers RX480 tomorrow for his birthday. I'll run some tests on his PC and see how it goes with undervolting and OC'ing.

Either those are some really cheap boards or they screwed around somewhere.

Got 3 in my spare 5960x build at the moment running on an x99 deluxe and no problems like that. Obviously cant OC and wont risk it either. Going to be grabbing AIB ones as soon as they get released and just offload these ones. Temps soo bad considering the change in process node along with the performance.

Well with 3 in one system and being a reference cooler, i wouldn't have thought it would be that good tbh

Thousands of people are probably owners of the RX480 by now and 99.9% of them might be perfectly fine. That doesn't mean that .1% of people aren't experiencing issues. If it's down to motherboard quality, that's still an imminent problem for AMD.

Haha yup, I wasnt expecting miracles. Have to say that I was still disappointed by the stock cooler... Wonder what a 290x reference cooler would do if fitted to these..

Try it, probably be better considering what it had to deal with

Dont think its compatible. Dont want to risk trying either cause the RX480s are from Asus and I dont plan on keeping them for very long.
