Question 1

I have an EVGA 430 PSU, I'm not doing any OC, do you think it will be enough for this GPU?

Accepted Answer

No, even if your pc boots the GPU will most likely crash/run hot. ASRock recommends at least a *450 watt PSU. As I answer this currently a great deal is the EVGA 500 watt 80 Plus Bronze at $49.99 model: 100-B1-0500-KR...FYI AMD only provides drivers for Windows 7 x64 & Windows 10 x64 & for Linux x64. There is no driver support for Windows 8/8.1...In addition ASRock recommends at least 4GB System RAM (8-12GB be best) You may wish to read my review on this GPU.

Question 2

Are fans idle (stopped) when no load?

Accepted Answer

my fans are idle whenever I do not have games open, they might turn on if you have google chrome hardware acceleration.

Question 3

what temp should this GPU run at?

Accepted Answer

Upwards of 70C is normal under load (gaming) for this GPU. You may see even higher with particularly demanding tasks, though 80 or above might indicate a cooling problem and would require further investigation.

Question 4

l it work with this cpu?

AMD Athlon II X2 250 / 3 GHz
 Dual-Core
64-bit 
Chipset Type AMD 785G

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but irl, if you plan on using it for gaming, that cpu will pose a massive bottleneck. You would need to upgrade it to atleast a Ryzen 1600 to get your money's worth out of this card. Otherwise, I would consider looking at more entry-level cards. Perhaps the RX 550 at MOST.

Question 5

Will I be ok with just 500 watts or should I look at getting more wattage? I was also wondering if this will come with a driver to make any changes to it?

Accepted Answer

It will depend on the other components in your system and the quality of your PSU, but I'm running this card with a Ryzen 5 2600 and Corsair CX450 (450W), and I haven't had any issues. The package includes a software disc with drivers, but it's advisable that you download the latest version from AMD's website for optimal performance and compatibility.

Question 6

how do you use the display ports?

Accepted Answer

They should work like any other port, just connect your device to the displayport using the appropriate cable and your system should detect it. 
If you're having issues with this, I'd suggest disconnecting the device from displayport and from power, allow the capacitors to drain (10 second wait should be fine), then reconnect it to displayport and power. 
I've sometimes had issues with my monitors suddenly not displaying anything when connected via displayport and this has fixed the issues for me. 
If that still does not work, try updating your drivers via AMD's website (a Google search for "RX 570 drivers" should work) and see if that helps. 
Otherwise, your RX 570 might just be faulty.

Question 9

is this card a good replacement for the 4gb graphics card?

Accepted Answer

seems like good value for money.

Question 10

Can I run three monitors simultaneously off this card or must I have two cards?  If two cards, do they need to be identical?

Accepted Answer

I run 3 monitors of different manufacturers but they are all the same size and resolution with no problem other than the video card shifting back to default settings when I shift to just one monitor to read e-mail in the evenings. Also when in default the fan turns to fast and is slightly noisey.
