Go buy a card with an open air cooler and see how that works out for you with your CPU, motherboard, HDD and SSD temps in a SFF build. Spoilers: I was doing it wrong and that's how I now know I'm not doing it wrong.

Great price, in fact is this the best price we have seen for an RX480?

Does this have dual fans or just the single? Why is this same fan £240 on Amazon?

It's the reference blower fan. Not great vs other premium coolers and makes a hell of a racket however important for mini itx builds as it blows air directly out of the case

Thanks for the reply!
Any idea what the best 480 would be for me then? I would prefer for it to not be noisy/have any issues with overheating.

If money is no object I would go for the sapphire nitro version 8gb which went for about 210 just before xmas. However these now selling for 240. The nitro has a very sexy backplate and glows RGB depending on whether its under full load or not. If that is your thing. It's also one of the fastest.
Alternatively the MSI gaming x design (aka twin frozr) does well and is one of the best coolers. There's a link to buy it for 200 on this site but it's from Amazon France. Any of the major brands are good however - gigabyte, asus. Just beware different ones have difference factory overclocks.

Rubbish cooler, but if you can live with it, it's worth the money, best card in this price range.

Once again, blower coolers are superior in SFF builds. Unless you mean it's rubbish for a blower, in which case I'll have to take your word for it.
Fairly sure you could get a DP to DVI adaptor on the cheap. Surely better to have more of the more advanced ports?

Would have bought this but they didn't include a DVI port? The cooler is ideal because of mini itx
