Sapphire AMD RX 470 Crossfire Graphics Card Review

Noise, Power Consumption and Temperatures
Noise
Sapphire’s 0dB fan mode is extremely useful to maintain quiet operation during web browsing and casual gaming. Once stressed, the noise output is decent for two products running side by side but it’s much louder than a single graphics solution.
Power Consumption
As expected, the two cards in unison consume a lot of power and it’s something to take into consideration if you’re worried about your system’s efficiency and power bills.
Temperatures
Ascertaining the core temperature for both cores was conducted via GPU-Z with the average figure being displayed. As you can see, the graphics cards don’t heat up substantially and this probably helped by the 1 PCI-E slot gap to improve airflow.
