So it's just overclocking that pushes it past 150W?
160-170 on stock it seems

Again with the kind of power supplies available right now, I wouldn't worry about it, especially since it only uses one 6-pin
but can't it potentially damage the motherboard?

It seems there's a few bad GPUs doing this, but it isn't supposed to, obviously

You could still get a build under $1000 with a 1070

Yeah the 480 is a bit disappointing but that's mostly due to false rumors. I'll wait until aftermarket cards come out tho to decide on the 480 or the 1070.

Rx 480 has power draw issues. Its taking too much power through the mother board causing crashes. I mysleft have a 1070 in the mail!
