I have a 290x that consistently trips an arc fault circuit if I run MSI Kombuster stress test. My rig and monitors only thing on the circuit. Never had an issue with any other cards. Always seemed fishy to me, but I know little to nothing about electricity.
I like to use my rig as a space heater The room temp is 62 in this basement. I have resorted to a sweat shirt and sweat pants - in the middle of summer!You don't need to know much except that you're probably overloading that circuit. Also, there's no good reason to run a power virus, unless you have very specific reasons like overloading a circuit, or heat checking your cooling etc.

How can a driver control the amount of power the card takes from the slot vs the power socket?

Ark fault breakers when first required by code were almost faulty to begin with and took a while to iron the kinks out. They are very easy to replace YOURSELF. Take a picture of your breaker and i can give you very easy instructions were to pick one up and about how much you would have to pay. In most cases you can pick them up at home depot or lowes for around 35 bucks. Its also possible you have a loose wire in your outlet or leading up to your outlet but in MOST cases its a faulty breaker.I have a 290x that consistently trips an arc fault circuit if I run MSI Kombuster stress test.

Are your outlets hooked to a GFCI? As crazy as it sounds
1. Replace your surge protector. Sometimes cheap MOV based surge strips can cause power spikes when there's a sudden in rush as they get close to end of life.
2. Replace your AFCI
Fixed it for you. I know your an engineer but GFCI are mostly just in kitchens and bathrooms
Didn't the GTX 960 draw up to 225w from PCI-e when they first came out? Why are we making such a huge deal about AMD doing a much lower voltage lol
So much of a non-issue that Raja had a driver team working over time during 4th of July weekend.
When you suddenly out of nowhere have ppl/websites claiming your video card will destroy everyone's computers which said remarks could and possibly will tank your company you're damn right they'll work over the 4th of July to clear their name
Wattage not voltage i agree i used the wrong wording thats just about the only thing you got me on.. maybe you should avoid speaking before someone has a chance to read what crap you spew?

The graph shows the 960 pulls at PEAK close to 225w. But you may want to squint, it may be too dificult for you to tell that the graph for the 960 goes up to 300w where as the graph for the 480 maxes at 150w. Just in case maybe pick up a monocle to go with your colossal attitude
One thing to note for those that aren't fanboys. The 960 did not consistently remain at that power band.
Yes, you've refuted my point about you not knowing anything about electricity by posting some articles that don't prove your point at all and just make you look stupid.
So, a single model of Custom GTX 960 has a problem with insufficient filtering, which you can only see if you monitor it using 1ms readings on a high-resolution oscilloscope. You somehow believe that this is relevant to the current situation around the Radeon RX 480 pulling a constant overvoltage through the PCI-E slot.
Lordy, you guys still trolling each other over shit that doesn't matter?
All That Energy blasting away on every web site on the planet, the nvidia trolls went on full attack mode.....And the Result? A big Recall? AMD going under Finally?......Ill give them credit for one thing! They annoyed the living crap out of everybody! But thats were it ended lol
But they are STILL out of spec on the PCIe. But this is no big deal provided the PSU is big enough. HOWEVER, the overclock should be disabled as any overclock will likely put the PEG outside spec again.
Overclocking is at your own risk for anything and is not warranted by any manufacturer. If you were to overclock and have a failure, its your problem, not AMD's.
This is by no means an enthusiast part. Its a reference card. Wait for AIB models.
The safety level isnt just down to the ability of the wire to carry power, its also down to the ability of the connector to remain safe under a bad connection.Provided the driver keeps the PCIE bus under its proper power limit, just how far is it overdrawing the 6-pin?
I'm finding it super hard to believe that anyone would bother worrying about a few extra watts on a 6-pin. It's the MB we're trying to keep from killing here. There's plenty of current headroom in the 6-pin wiring.
(I suppose to answer my own question, the one exception would be business use where you MUST meet all relevant industry specs or you can't use the part. But if whatever driver gets loaded automatically by Windows doesn't select the by-the-book power options no one is going to spec any 480 cards for any mission critical applications.)
Only if you bury your head.So all in all a non-issue and again was only something that affected computers with bargain basement crap parts and was easily fixed to calm fears
Just like I said two days ago
Me thinks the nvidia shills be working heavy overtime (And I own a GTX1080 to boot)
PCI-E 6 pin wires are generally 16 AWG, braided. At 12v, that gives a current rating of 20A. (This is just a simple wire rating, and the "safe" current would be limited by any connector limitation and, of course, the ability of the PSU to supply that current.)
I*V=P
2 12v wires on a PCI-E 6 pin plug gives:
2*20A*12v= 480w
The wires could safely pull 480 Watts, all day, every day.
Household electrical circuits are limited to 80% current of their limit. (So a 12 gauge, 20 Amp, wire would support a circuit designed not to exceed 16 Amp steady load.) Applying the same 80% limit to the 480 Watt rating gives a constant power rating of 384 Watts.
The PCI-E 6 pin spec'ed rating is far below the actual capacity of the wires to safely conduct the current. As long as the connectors are similarly robust, the limiting factor would be the PSU.
(If you look this up yourself, make sure you're looking at 12v DC ratings. Most tables assume household current of 110v AC.)
There is plenty of headroom available beyond the 75w "limit" imposed on PCI-E 6 pin connectors.

I'm responding, tell them.for fucks sake let it go!!!
I must apologize for my rants on the RX 480 I have posted.Sometimes I get my head stuck in a bad place. I was going to send the Sapphire back but then I read couple of of the 1671 tests I figured what the hell installed the card in an Old 2008 Gigabyte p35 ds3 mobo with Q6600 8 GB ddr2 800 with old 80GB intel x25 ssd. installed the drivers and ran Heaven and Valley
Heaven 1920 1080 ultra tesselation medium A10-7870k GTX660ti 16gb ddr3 2133 Intel240ssd score 45.4 fps 1143
Q6600 Rx480 8gb ddr2 800 intel 80 s2 score 71.8 fps 1808
valley 1920 1080 low default A10-7870k GTX660Ti 16gb ddr3 2133 Intel240ssd score 68.1 fps 2849
Q6600 Rx480 8gb ddr2 800 intel 80 s2 score 46.8 fps 1958
Is the old Q6600 the factor in the low Valley score?
I will be looking at bulding an Intel Core I5 just don't have extra cash. I have to admit AMD did a good job fixing the power issue. Used
both compatiblity and normal 2-3 fps difference. Older board so I will leave it in compatibility mode..
But they are STILL out of spec on the PCIe. But this is no big deal provided the PSU is big enough. HOWEVER, the overclock should be disabled as any overclock will likely put the PEG outside spec again.
The rightful thing to do is to RECALL the cards. But we know that will cost way too much money. The bean counters are doing a dice roll against a lawsuit possibility.
And now all reviews are invalidated until we get new numbers up. It was, quite simply, a boneheaded design move to make it look like a low power card, when in fact it isn't. Quite a black eye IMHO.
