Noise, Power Consumption and Temperatures


Noise

In terms of noise output, the graphics card lacks a 0dB fan profile but it’s not a major issue since the idle volume levels remain quiet. On the other hand, the blower fan ramps up under stress and becomes irritatingly loud.

Power Consumption

Unlike higher-end versions of the RX 470 which feature a single 8-pin PCI-E connector, the Sapphire RX 470 OC’s 6-pin results in exceptionally low power demands. The entire system wattage is a mere 209.6 watts under load and consumes significantly less power than the PowerColor Red Devil RX 470.

Temperatures

While the graphics card’s noise output leaves a lot to be desired, the load temperatures are surprisingly good. Throughout the testing process, I didn’t encounter any sudden thermal spikes which might have indicated that the card was throttling. Thankfully, the temperatures never exceeded 80C and remain well within a safe thermal threshold.
