We're building our own RX 480 Hybrid, using liquid cooling and an Arctic Cooler Hybrid III kit that we bought. This DIY Hybrid RX 480 should resolve some of the thermal throttling and will resolve the high dB whine of the VRM blower fan when overclocking the 480. This video starts with a tear-down and disassembly of our AMD RX 480.
