If he is hitting the board tdp limit it doesn't matter.
I believe you meant "isn't hitting"

20% added can get you above 200W, more than enough for reaching 1400MHz core.
You need a modded BIOS that allows +250W for anything over. 1350-1400MHz is expected if you use a stock BIOS with max voltage and power limit.
Something I have learned about these cards is that the CURRENT voltage and temperature have very little to do with core OC. You need to factor in power limit and disregard current temp and voltage. The RX 480 is smart enough to figure out if it can reach a specific frequency or not. If it feels like the OC will not be stable, it will crash the drivers. With my setup, if I can set the frequency it will pass all benches I throw at it.
Tis an odd beast, and I like it.
Thoughts on why this card isn't breaking 135W when fully overclocked?

Fermi cards had no issues hitting their TDP... particularly at overclocked speeds.
Will have to come back and reference this thread very soon. Thanks guys for all the info.
Was just going to PM you with this thread link. LOL
Yeah I made 2 mistakes: First one; got a PowerColor 390. 2nd mistake: an RX480 by the same company
Gonna blacklist PowerColor...
They're not too bad per-say. I mean the card works as it should, just doesn't overclock as it should. Also being a non-ref card you would think it should be a monster clocker, nope. Looks great, doesn't clock
Lets put it this way: If you plan on getting an RX480 and want to overclock it, avoid this one and choose something else.

this really isnt a fair statement though.
