Hi!

First time here, so I'd like to ask wich RX 480 do you think is the better?

XFX GTR 8GB RX 480 or the Sapphire Nitro+ OC one?

My main concern is cooling and fan noise, wich is the coolest and less loud one out of those 2?

I was looking at the MSI one, but it would not fit into my case very good, it would touch too many cables.

Thanks in advance for the help!

XFX GTR RX 480 seems to be the best one based from reviews. People seem to get the highest stable OC results with the GTR. Next comes to MSI Gaming X and Asus ROG Strix, followed by the Sapphire NITRO+ OC (Which is the one I own).

What a bad luck...MSI one is the coolest and quietest...
I would say go with the one that is cheapest.
Sapphire one has the highest preset clock speed but you can overclock them both equally.
XFX is usually cheaper. Maybe take a look at this video:

it's a good review.
Also there is a LOT of threads about which RX 480 to buy. You should google it :)
