I don't have knowledge about SSD failure rate but I'm working in big repair center (about 100k phones and tablets per month) and I think NAND failures are most common fault on modern mainboards. If your phone have 'sudden death syndrome' or goes into bootloop and flashing software doesn't help...
It's true nearly for whole Europe. I'm from Poland and ordered today Gigabyte 1060 G1 gaming for about 15$ more than stock RX 480 8GB. You can find here other AIB 1060 for less than 480. Cheapest 1060 (Asus Turbo-blower) is about 25$ cheaper than 480. 480 4GB is more rare than AIB 1080 one day...
For any budget gamers - I found review showing scaling RX 480 with different processors compared to GTX 970. Not many people targeting $200 GPU have i7k so this type of results could be very interesting
This is only quick test, but this website promised much bigger test soon...
But AMD stated about 290, not 390 and score is matching perfectly to it. Compared to 970 is a little bit (3% ?) slower than 970 - it's not far behind. But what people were expecting from new process it's different story.
In April Rod Taylor from AMD (http://arstechnica.co.uk/gadgets/2016/04/amd-focusing-on-vr-mid-range-polaris/) stated that Polaris is aiming in 970/290 performance level. If you compare VR score it nearly exactly match it. There was so mych hype about Polaris 10 that now many people couldn't...
Cooler shroud was only example, but with RX 480 is absolutely nothing. I don't remember any electronic mass product launched without any leaks last years.
One thing makes me wonder - if AMD is planning to have sufficient volumen RX 480 on shelves at release day (29.06 - technically still Q2) now all AiB should producing cards with large quantities, but there are absolutely no leaks - photos, custom coolers, more and more footprints in benchmarks...
I'm on the same boat - not a big fan of this all DLCs. And also I was waiting for complete edition of Witcher 3 with decent offer. Now it comes, not on steam but on GOG - $38.09 for game and 2 expansions. I think that few next weeks I'll be very busy ;)...
As described on PurePC (portal quoted by you) about testing procedure for GTX 1080 Gaming X. As far as I know they are also using ot for all cards, including FE:
You can use google translator to check it, but I can quickly brief it: all test are done in closed case (with 3 fans) after 20...
So it looks that 8-pin connector isn't an issue with overclocking 1080...

Question is if there will be available unofficial unlocked BIOS for reference cards :)
If somebody interested in Witcher 3 test in GPU demanding location from latest patch:

Yes, 1070 results aren't impresive, but when you compare to AMD cards...
