Review: Gigabyte Radeon RX 480 G1 GAMING 8GB
Gigabyte released a Radeon RX 480 of their own, the G1 GAMING model comes armed with 8GB graphics memory, and we review it. This WindForce 2X cooled mainstream graphics card series will allow you to play your games in both the Full HD 1080P range as well as in WQHD (2560x1440). And all that at a very attractive price.

Only 1 degree difference between reference and custom cooler? Extremely disappointing.
Reference 82C.
Custom cooler 81C.
Yet 5 DBa more silent ... that is the difference in-between audible and silent.

Nice looking card. Very quiet, though I would like to see better cooling. Thank HH!

"Once the card reaches its maximum temperature threshold of 80 Degrees or another limiter, it will start throttling on the boost frequency as well as voltages and fan RPM."
Quiet or not reaching those 81 Degrees will enable the above quote extracted from the review. Most people will have their card in a case reaching higher temps than the 81 Degrees in the review (my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong).
