FYI

Bought this card with a few others, tried my hand in flashing and reselling. I have flashed the BIOS to a standard RX470 BIOS from techpowerup, and it works pretty great for entry level 1080p gaming, which is what I used it for. It's been given a good clean and new thermal paste, the only issue is that the one fan doesn't work and I don't know why. I'm gonna pull it out of storage this week and see what more I can do, so for now it's just a feeler to see if people are interested. Pictures and benchmarks will be uploaded soon, as soon as I get a gap with my tests and stuff.
