XFX RX480 Unboxing & Hard Swap Fan Demo!

2016-10-04
Hey glad to see you guys back here once again on the channel today we have something interesting to take a look at now they're a little bit late to the game but XFX has just released their version of the our X 480 gamers certified now out of the box this thing has a standard base clock of 1280 8 megahertz really really close to the Red Devil there it's got 256 bit memory interface a gigabyte EDR 5 you guys know that 2304 of those lovely stream processors so this card is ready to rock but what's really interesting about this card isn't so much the card itself because there are a lot of four eighties out there what separates this one from the pack however is they're hard swap fans I have right here in front of me they come in three different colors and you can change these things out to any color you want so you want your card to be all white you got white lights you want red lights hate you got red lights you want blue lights hey you got blue lights so any of those kind of lights do you want you can put in the car now I wish it would've had three fans so you could went red white and blue and had it all America but with that said though let's jump in let's do the unboxing and then let's check out how these fans are and let's do the fan test let's go so first off folks let's check out the box itself you guys can see it's the XFX version of the Radeon rx 40 like I said they have some of their own things here gamers certified B already all that good stuff no need to focus too much in the box on the back this talks a little bit about but more their technology and their type of things but you guys want to see what's actually inside this box so let's pop the cap alright get it outside of the box there yeah and there we go and then also when you get it in there says XFX right on the top of the cardboard so your box ception is on the move off the cap once again we see more stuff on top this should be the accessories pack let's see if there's anything in there nowadays since the drivers are available online and stuff most companies don't give you too much other than sometimes wow I can't believe mmm this much trouble getting that little simple thing but there we go okay so inside of here we've got the driver CD that was cool them to give that and then you have two 6-pin to an 8 pin molex connector good to go steps it off to the side I believe that's all there is as far as other stuff goes there's a little manual inside of here just tells you about different parts and different things and about the installation I think most of my viewers out there have installed mini video card you guys know exactly what's up so that's probably pretty much unneeded and beyond that the box is empty so go ahead and close the box get that out of the way let's take a look at the card itself inside of it sandy style anti-static packaging pop that out now here are the two fans on the front part swap Bulloch you said pop these bad boys out very very easily both sides actually there hit that other boom doing pretty good there so yeah you can see actually what I really like about this too is a lot of times and you're looking at a card you can't really see the aluminum heat fans you can't really see the copper heat pipes but with this card if you get in close you can actually see all that stuff really well and that's just a pretty cool thing so we'll get back to that in a minute though on the bottom nothing too special it's just simply your PCI interface that you stick in your motherboard nothing too much exciting they're put on the card of the back you can see the two ends of both the heat pipes on the top of the card we see the XFX logo this lights up as well and one thing really cool that I like about all the AMD cards are gone or any type of crossfire fingers that's one thing they definitely have over Nvidia you no longer have to use any type of thing to do your crossfire connection which is cool as far as the cards measurements go the card size in it 28 centimeters long by twelve point four with a dual slot design as far as power requirements go the eight pin power connector requires 150 watts and XFX recommends a 500 watt power supply minimum to power up your card and as we flip the card around to its backside you see something that I am well known to love and that is a durable back plate I love to smack on these and you fans out there who freaked out I hope that you're right now getting all giddy about it the hot but no it's tough and I like it it looks really really good so last but not least we have the rear i/o on the rear i/o we see a single DVI connection three display ports and a single HDMI 2.0 connector so that's the card now let's check out how really cool these hsf fans are in action you guys saw a room a video how easily I was able to remove the fan they also pop in from the other boxes just as simply I mean this is no-brainer as you can get the current color scheme is red white and blue and each different color cost about $20 a box but you can make it any color you want or a combination of the two so what do you guys think I think it's pretty damn awesome that you can hard change all of these different fans to different colors hopefully they'll come out with even more colors in the future so you have more options but right now that's it so it's time for me to take my ass to the lab and do some testing and then bring you guys the full review so I'm Elric you've been watching Tekken tomorrow and hey I want to hear what you guys have to say do you guys think this shit's really dope cuz I do
