Just installed an rx 480 today
My friend gave me this GTX480 a number of years ago when I couldn't afford an upgrade from an ancient XP 3000+ nVidia GeForce 3 Ti500 setup.
And I loved it and appreciated it for so many years and finally today it has seen it's last use from me. Holy crap I had no idea it was so loud. He had put an aftermarket cooler on it. I tried undervolting at one point and it made it much more tolerable but then the temps crept up too high.
I just can't believe how nice it is. It's seriously like turning off a vacuum cleaner that's been sitting next to you for years.
It was almost worse than the 80mm 80cfm fan I used to have for that XP 3000+.
So quiet
