    Should I be worried? (XFX RMA)

    Sounds like it was an issue well beyond 'normal circumstances'. The card still isn't working and is running super, super hot. It was idling at 71C with the fan at 55% when I pulled it out to box it back up again. (maybe a botched thermal paste job, or an attempt to re-use the existing...

    Should I be worried? (XFX RMA)

    Me too. I had an MSI motherboard that crapped out on me. After e-mails went unresponded to (for weeks), and phone just rang and rang and rang, I went to the store I purchased it from (MicroCenter) and asked if they had any resources. I used to work retail (in college) and I know sometimes...

    I did ask about cross-shipping, they said they don't do that anymore. Bummer! Oh well, worth a try right? Of course, not sure how that would've "worked" since they opted to repair, not replace. Although the card still isn't working so I'm not sure how it'll work moving forward.

    Yeah me too, and I've never had a problem. Here's to hoping the fan WAS the issue with this 7970.

    Should I be worried? (XFX RMA)

    Thanks guys! I'm pretty confident XFX will get it sorted out if it doesn't end up working. I'm curious if I have this card in 'secondary' mode (not the primary Crossfire card, the one that basically shuts off when not doing heavy lifting) if it'll even exhibit those issues. Think I'll run it...

    Should I be worried? (XFX RMA)

    So I have a 7970 crossfire setup (with an R9 280X) and the 7970 had the somewhat typical failure of a single fan in the dual fan setup. I discovered it after I started having 2D issues. Heavy artifacting, occluded screen doing basic 2D work. 3D was fine, as long as you could fire a game up...
