The card being tested here is the XFX Radeon RX 580 that uses a reference design. The overclocker used a custom waterblock to keep the card under liquid cooling while running the benchmarks. This overclocking session provides a detailed preview of how well the refreshed Polaris cards are designed to handle loads under overclock. The card was under liquid cooling so we shouldn’t expect a lot of stress in regards to the temperatures or overheating.
AMD Radeon RX 580 Overclocking Performance Detailed
While the 8-pin connector should feed more power to the GPU for increased clock speeds, it seems like there’s a 100-150 MHz headroom in terms of overclocking for the reference models. Custom models may offer better headroom but that remains to be seen as they are overclocked beyond 1400 MHz out of box
