Anyone had a problem with their GPU usage not being consistent and not at a high percentage? This is on a RX480 on stock bios, stock clocks, and tried blockchain, Adrenalin, and Crimson drivers. Hash rate is only 15 Mh/s

open up your card, clean all the dirt, trust me there will shit ton of it. apply new thermal paste and then check again.
try to keep the card temperature atleast below 80.

you have to do this like once every two months

Ive had many of my GPUs for 2-3 years never had to do that, dont let dust build up clean them every few months , I will RMA those bitches before i waste my time re-applying thermal past lol

well honestly depends on where the setup is. there are places in the world where no matter how hard you try you cant avoid dust, unless its a special air conditioned room.

secondly, i dont feel thats waste of my precious 15 mins -.-

Dust is everywhere , but 15 mins x 200 gpus is better to just RMA

Depends, I used to live in a dry and dusty state, had to clean my 2 rigs constantly.

I now live in a humid state, never dusted anything, the GPU heatsinks are clean.

If you are in dusty area, it helps if you keep windows closed, so at least air is somewhat filtered from HVAC. You could also get an air purifier. Reapplying thermal grease shouldn't be necessary unless temps abnormally high.
