You are ready for the massive "slightly" used GPU influx /g/

Oooh, a twenty point drop. Scary!

I won't pay anything over $150 US for an 8GB card.x

You better do a lot of research before buying a used GPU when they are flooded onto the market.

The Sapphire Nitro+ RX 480 is among the few with removable double ball bearing fans.

If the card has sleeve bearing fans then it's a no-go. If it doesn't say what kind of fans are on it then it's a no-go. If the fans aren't easy to replace then that's something to consider.

Also, make sure you are able to get a copy of the original BIOS. A modified BIOS made for mining a specific coin will probably give you all kinds of issues when you're playing games. That's a minor issue, though, the fans are the real issue with all these GPUs that have been used for mining. GPU fans on consumer cards aren't really made to go at full speed 24/7 for months on end and the fans on a lot of cards will make rattle noises and a lot of noise in general even at low speeds afterwards.

>twenty point drop

ETH topped at $420.. so a $20 swing there isn't that much but a drop from $420 to $190 is rather significant.

Depending on how ghetto fabulous you care to be, you could ziptie a cheap CPU heatsink to the GPU and get good temps, if you have the case clearance. Obviously not an option for Crossfire.

Or hey, use the money you save buying cheap mining cards to buy a water loop.
