    After reconnectinng displays,abnormaly high idle temps on R9 290

    Thank you for your input..That's not a bad idea at all.. Here's what I thought.. At the moment only the central fan right under the chipset is working,,but not the 2 fans under the heatsinks.. As shown below there are 2 headers on the pcb,one for the chipset fan and one for the 2 fans under...

    So, Sapphire Tech Support and my efforts for them issuing me an RMA seems like a bust.. It's been 2 days now that they have not been returning my messages.. So,I'll have to try and fix it..I have ordered a 4pin Y splitter cable,so that I can connect the Vapor-X cooler's fans on a PWM fan...

    After reconnectinng displays,abnormaly high idle temps on R9 290

    Thank you for your input :) I already tried reseating the fan headers,but that didn't make it work..Don't know if the headers only are fried because there seem to be burnt marks on the pcb itself(although it's not that visible from the picture)..I'm already using a custom fan curve with trixxbut...

    Well how do I do that?With CCC? Before my Vapor-X I had a msi 280X with 2 monitors and my memory clocks were the same,@max.

    Thanks,man and no they are not..I believe that since I have a dual monitor setup , the memory clocks are always at max unless I downclock using afterburner or something,using a custom profile..:)

    Well,after a little digging around,it seems I'm not the only one with the exact same problem and I've seen pictures with the burnt speed fan controller all over.. Though I bet those guys had a receipt and got their rma

    Yes,I do realize it and I know that these cars do run hot.. My VRMs run a lot cooler..this is what it looked like after a single run in Valley : But seeing that something definitely is fried on the PCB ,concerning the fans that is,I'm a little anxious..After all I got this card on May and it...

    So I guess the only solution is for me to watercool the card if my RMA request gets declined,huh.. Well,this sucks the big one

    After reconnectinng displays,abnormaly high idle temps on R9 290

    Well,I looked into what you said and indeed saw that only my middle fan was working on my Vapor-X,, But after looking at my card I noticed that the IFC switch was set on off,so there is no reason for the other 2 fans to be not working.. I took my car out,and unfortunately saw this : I...

    Hello everyone, I have a very random and peculiar problem indeed.. First of all,I'd like to start by saying that I posted this here even though I'm not sure that this might be a GPU driver issue,but If I'm wrong,then any mod can move it to the appropriate place.. So,as the title says,a...

    switched from nvidia card to amd, colors look washed out and text seems semi blurry??

    If anyone is using a tv monitor,you can also rename the input in the monitor settings too..For example rename the hdmi to pc or dvi-pc and that will totally fix your problem..
