CPU for crossfire RX480 8gb

[sebas1980]

Hello forum mates, I have an i5 3570k with oc to 4200mhz, I just set up a crossfire of two rx480 8gb and I don't know if the micro is getting small. Besides, I have an aercool power supply of 600w and according to calculations it's tight.
Advise me a good micro for games and that serves me for the future, that is oc, I don't care what it costs, whether it's socket 1151 or 2011
Thanks!!!!!!

What I see is that you've treated yourself to two RX480, but you haven't thought it through very well, because you have a card that forces the second graphics card to use a slot at 8x, and on top of that, the power supply, if it were only 600w, would be too tight, but being Aerocool, personally I wouldn't even dare to plug in the second graphics card, let alone having OC already.

If CrossFire is partly the excuse to update your platform, in your case I would have waited until the end of the year to buy the graphics card, when AMD and nVIDIA show their cards.

If the issue is to mine bitcoins, then the micro doesn't matter to you, and you'd better invest in ASICs.

Regards!

I am not convinced either and I don't think it's a microphone problem. I think it's a problem of fighting with drivers, modest source and time between frames. Not to mention temperature and noise.

Come on, if you can return them I would get a 1070. If later you see a good second-hand price you can get another one, when you see that you need it.

It's funny, because the other day I was reading an article from ArsTechnica where they did an XFire with a 470 and a 480 on an ASUS X99A-II.

Regarding this XFire, I agree that doing it on a PCIe 8x slot... doesn't seem right.
