Yes I am a pirate, 300 years too late!
Can someone also tell me, with 250mhs How many ETH can I get per day? Thanks.

Wild ass guess between 2-2.5

What AMD did???
They designed card for 100-120w max, then when NV relesed 1070/1080 they bumped TDP by bios edit, but they did not redesign power VRM!!!
Also I am not sure on the quality of 6pin connector I had problems with one 290x and 2x PCi-e 8pin one melted PSU cable from Seasonic, most connectors are not good quality even if the cable can push a LOT (one yellow wire might push as match as 10-20A), connector is crucial here and VRM design!

The RX480 killing mobos really isn't much of an issue for miners since we all use powered risers. The ribbon risers usually have a thick 16AWG cable connected to the molex, I am sure this cable can handle 100Watts no problem.

However no idea how those USB risers will work since they are powered by the SATA connector and those usually have a smaller gauge cable then regular molex.



One cable will handle 100W without problem. But do you have 6 molex cables connecting to the power supply?

I know with mine I have enough spaces to hook 4 modular molex into the PS

For those getting excited about the power usage reported by GPU-z --- Don't!

That value is only for the GPU chip its self, it doesn't account for the rest of the board. When my GPU-z shows 83w draw from the 480, my actual measurements taken from the riser and the 6 pin are 141w, a difference of 60 watts!

Here's confirmation from the creator of GPU-z himself: https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4qk17o/my_xfx_480_power_draw/d4tp4hc

Are you the one that posted on the reddit ?

You said you got 83w and 88w from pcie slot. So total 171Watts and not 141Watts.

Also since you have some Tahiti cards can you post how much they consume so I can compare it to the 480 in terms of power consumption.

People have been posting power consumption rates anywhere from 120-200watts using 25mh/s and hard to find a value to compare too.

The Risers I have coming in have a molex on the board and come with a SATA - molex connector.  I'm just going to plug the molex right into the riser.

I will wait for 8 PCIe pin version. Reference design does not looks reasonable in terms of heavy usage, more like "look ma only 6 pin".

Some bad news. We need to be very careful: PCI-E slot died with RX 480

Mine will run for 6-8 hours then reboot.

The power consumption will be the same between both cards however the clock speed of Saphire edition is more then the XFX edition so maybe you get a little more MHS . Well i personally advise you to buy Spahire edition then XFX .

Code:
[b]XFX[/b]
Available :4096 MB
Type :GDDR5
clock speed :7000 MHz

[b]Saphire[/b]
Available :4096 MB
Type :  GDDR5
clock speed  :8000 MHz

I think the 480 RX's power input configuration is a failure. It should use the 8 pin power input like the Nano.

After what I've been reading, I'm inclined to agree with this.

I'm considering returning the 4 I purchased and waiting for the Sapphire Nitro as it has an 8-pin connector.

Bad news

It is still 6 pin. I was excited but we have to wait for AMD to fix the drivers or for Saphire to fix the card completely

In the next few days, we will see the reduction of network hash rate as the new 480 RX will burn may motherboards and PSU.

Got all my rig with powered usb risers. Works like a charm. No overheating wires/ burned connecters or other stuff. But the stock coolers sucks horrible balls. I guess i will move my rig to the garage and turn the fans to 100%. 60% coolers with 81 temp in open rig is not nice at all. 24.8 mh/s stock hash rate by the way.

Do you use the 6 USB risers coming out of 2 PSU cables, or 3 USB per power cable? That is almost the limit of each cable.

got 1200 W platinum PSU +6 usb powered risers, each line has 3 x molex. So it's 2 lines of molexes 3 cards each.  3 PCI-E (6 slot cable) each 2... Seems working good.

That configuration should be safe enough for the power supply.

I remember one SATA +12 connector can support 4.5A current. That is about 54W, lower than the PCIE +12 V slot specification.
