I bought a second hand XFX R295x2 here and I'm having some major issues and can't get the card to work properly. First, my specs...
4690k (OC reset)
16GB 2133 DDR3
Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK (Bios is current)
Lepa G1200 80+ Gold power supply (Enermax OEM)
lots of fans in a Phanteks Enthoo Pro
The owner told me the card was working and was his daily driver. Said he has had it under water and sold the gpu with the Koolance block on it, but also sent the stock cooler setup.
The Problem
Installed the card into pci-e top slot. Turn pc on. Cooler LED lights up, fan spins, W10 starts. As soon as you enter W10 (or BIOS) the fan speeds up to 100% (stupid loud) and display drops forcing to use on board. When checking Device Manager, sometimes the gpu is not displayed, most of the time it's listed as "Microsoft basic display adapter". When trying to install official drivers it usually freezes when trying to detect hardware, or will say there isn't any hardware installed.
Troubleshooting
Switched to second pci-e slot. No difference. Tried dvi to hdmi cable and mini DP to DP, no difference. Slots work with RX 460, RX 480, GTX 1080.
One thought I've had is even though Outer Vision's psu calculator says for my build it's running at approximately 893 watts, it may be the psu. I've had it for roughly two years and it's seen a number of changes to my build, but never had issues. Is it possible it's not up to the task of this gpu? Closest thing I have psu wise to test is a Corsair CX750 which I feel is not good enough.
I'm just at a loss. I've reset the AIO for this twice, tried reseating I don't know how many times, etc. I just don't know what to do. I know many would say the gpu is toast, but the seller has perfect heatware and has communicated with me greatly. I really hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you.
