[EDIT]hmmm.....whats going on at AMD? (and history of 3Dfx Rampage)

[RolloTheGreat]

His board is dead.  He tried to fix it all day today.  He even bought a new PSU.  His computer won't boot.  He's buying a new motherboard this week.  Integrated graphics won't even work.  It looks like the RX480 may have completely killed his board.

Heh, Apoppin qualifies for "bite the hand that feeds you" suspicion on anything AMD. He probably set it to loop Furmark, put the computer in the trunk of his car on a hot day, and left for the weekend.

I don't doubt those Chuck E. Cheap RX480s exceed spec though. As some guy on ATVF put it, it's just like AMD to skimp on something or factory OC something past safe to get a bit of hype.

That chip was probably designed to run at 1000MHz and in the face of "Holy crap is that thing slow!" reviews they had to factory overclock it.

Now if that card had 14/3 phase power and dual 8 pins like my 980 Ti Classy, they wouldn't have such problems....
