The idle on the HIS RX 480 IceQ X2 Roaring Turbo 8GB hit 54 W total system consumption so we are looking at an energy winner when it comes to sipping at the wall socket. Temperatures We were a little surprised that the Idle temperature was at 47°C until we realized that the 0dB fans were at 0 RPMs, so before we OC’d the card we set a User Defined Fan Profile. We were using Sapphire’s Trixx Ver. 6.1.0 as we found that we got a higher and more stable OC with TriXX than Wattman. NoiseNoise wise the HIS RX 480 IceQ X2 Roaring Turbo 8GB at full load using the Non-OC BIOS we got a reading of 40dBA which is fairly quiet in keeping with the BIOS’s purpose of Silent Mode. In OC mode there wasn’t much difference and it topped out at 43dBA which was audible, but not into the annoying noisy range. OC Mode was a noticeable noise increase but we wouldn’t kick the card out of our machine based on OC Mode Noise. (Measured from 1 Meter distance)
