I'm currently running an MSI R9 290x on a really old motherboard an Asus P6T SE, I've been running the card slightly overclocked for about 2 weeks, everything was running fine I didn't have any issues. One day I'm in game and the screen suddenly glitched, went black and switched off. I tried turning the system on again but I can't even get it to boot to bios, absolutely nothing my screen, it's completely black. My PSU is a 650w from Cooler Master I don't think it's the PSU. Everything still works, fans spin on my case and GPU, LED's light up etc. What I've tried: 1. Opening the GPU cleaning any dust and re-applying the thermal paste 2. Re-seating and cleaning the CPU 3. Tried every RAM slot with one in each slot 4. My PSU has two 6+2 Connectors and I've tried both I read somewhere it may be something to do with the 12V rail but didn't work either 5. Disconnected all inputs, keyboard, mouse etc and tried booting 6. Re-inserting all connectors on the motherboard 7. I was using a DPI to HDMI connector I switched it to HDMI to HDMI and no luck At this point I'm completely out of options it's a really decent GPU even for today's games. I'd appreciate any help thank you!

Ok so when I started the University in 2015 I bought an fx9590 to upgrade my existing mobo (Asus M5A99FX 2.0 Pro) As it sits now it has AMD Sappire r9 290x vaporx 8gb Under clocked to 5% less power draw and memory clock max at 1099 ghz about 650 watt psu 32 gb corsair vengeance 1866 ghz Dark rock pro 4 *with a 3rd fan 2 140 front intake 1 120 rear exhaust 1 92 side intake so at first when I got the card it would just black screen with in minutes of use then I was told to under clock the card and lone behold the black screen stoped. after i decided to try putting the computer threw its paces with high hopes. Unfortunately the mobo turboed the chip to 5.1 ghz and it would boot to the sign in page the it would give me a blue screen with the sad face seconds before it shuts off and enters a boot loop. I then disabled the turbo in the bios and tried to mess with the wattage and speed to try preventing it from trying to spike up. Unfortunately it would not post with those settings. I then when back put it in energy efficient mode clocked memory to 1866mhz and disabled turbo and left the wattage on auto. This allows me too boot up, stream YouTube, and other basic necessities that you need fro a computer. When ever I try to open a game the computer will freeze either with a black screen or on the windows home screen. Doesn’t load game and also when I try updating windows to os 19xx it will download then freeze on installation. Any info would help tremendously.

My GPU has been experiencing some really strange problems. I know it's the GPU, because the problem isn't present with another AMD GPU. So basically everytime my PC isn't shut down properly will result in artifacts when I boot it up next time, even if I cut off the power to the PSU and wait for a while. Like it remembers it. Fixing it sounds quite simple, but it's actually not... To fix it I simply have to boot it up (with artifacts or not) and shut it down through windows. I won't have any artifacts next time when I shut it down through windows. However, with the artifacts my PC is so unstable that I'll take like 5 tries to get into windows, I'll just lock up (freeze) so badly that I can't get into windows and shut it down properly. Also when my PC doesn't have artifacts there is still a chance that it freezes 15 minutes into a game, which requires me to reset it and this results in artifacts again. (It's more stable without artifacts) The artifacts are also not too extreme. They don't fill the entire screen most of the time. Sometimes it's also not only blocks, but like a massive blue triable that covers my screen briefly. I've also seen it cause changes to colors in windows, for example: it once changed the windows progress bar (when launching Steam) from Green into blue. What have I tried: - Reinstall windows 10; - Reflash the vbios; - Try a different bios (my GPU has 2); - Different drivers; - Different GPU (fixed it), but I would like my R9 290x back. TL;DR R9 290x wants to be shut down properly. It won't stop giving me artifacts until I manage to boot into windows and shut down. Cutting the power won't even fix it. Card is also very unstable and locks up my computer often.

The long story short (r9 290x reference) I replaced the stock cooler with my old directcu ii from a r9 280x after sanding down the parts where it needed. I had to lenghten the wires so it can reach the card's fan terminal. For the first try the card started,fan started,everything was working, i was like hell yeah, even temps were around 50C degree I tried some load on the card when a cable came loose from the lenghtened fancable and something in my pc made a quiet pop and it shut down. Pc boots and everything seems to be working exept the card. I did fix the cables and rechecked every cable and soldering but the card doesn't turn on only the fan. No signal and it doesn't heat up anymore. I checked the caps and saw nothing out of ordinary tomorrow check the card in an other pc I would like to know what parts should i check or any advice getting it working again

Good afternoon all, I am a newcommer to the OC world and have a few questions that hopefully a few of you can help answer. I currently own an ASUS R9 290X DCUII and love it. I mainly use the PC for photo and video editing so it is a little overkill but was a bargain price. I started doing some benchmarks and realised i could get much better scores by overclocking the GPU I have been using the ASUS GPUTweak II tool to overclock but not sure this is the best application for it. Here are my clocking settings:

Hey there fellas. I plan on upgrading my R9 290x here in my main rig soon and will be dropping it down into my second rig which currently has a FX 8320 and HD 7870. I have already ran the 290x with the 8320 and it is severely bottlenecked in CPU heavy games such as Battlefield 1 (and BF5 when it releases). Seeing as how its my second rig I plan on spending as little cash as possible on it. Upgrading to Ryzen seems to pricey considering I would have to buy at least 8 gigs of DDR4. There doesn't seem to be any AMD FX CPU that can keep up with the 290x, with the closest being the 9590, which isn't supported by my board and will probably more power than my PSU can provide (Corsair RM650). So with all that out of the way, is there any cheap Intel CPU's that would be better suited with the 290x and support DDR3? I am not super familiar with Intel's lineup of CPU's and I'm not sure where to start. If anyone knows any cheap reliable motherboard to go with it, that'd be great. Thanks!

Hi I have an asus R9 290X with a Morpheus cooler on it. I first connected the fans on the motherboard and they worked perfectly. However they run at full speed. Since i'm all about "quietness", I bought a "5-Pin VGA PWM Mini PH Connector to Dual PWM 4-Pin Fan Cable Splitter" which fit on the graphic card itself (see picture). I connected it and both lights of the card light up so everything "aah ok". When turning on, the fan didn't spin up. And they don't do it after heating up de card. How can I fix this? Do I need to reset something? Thanks

So, I finally managed to update my system from 775 to 1366. the CPU I have is the X5650, cooled by a Coolermaster seideon 120m. Now i think i am facing a GPU bottleneck. ( Currently Gtx 680) I thought of a 780 ti, but those are selling used down here in Germany for around 200 €, R9 290x Cards, on the other hand, are selling for around 150 € with a good cooler. What Gpu should i get? (price to performance in mind) What would be the best Card this Cpu could handle? Thanks for your answers

My friend wants to buy my r9 290x 4gb (msi twin frozr) and a fx8350 will his 550w bronze psu (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01C3FFLZ8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) be able to run the setup with or without any OC or under-volting?

So I found a R9 290x matrix platinum for 200 euros. It is a pretty good price for a 290x given the current prices of video cards. The thing is I know from the past that asus cards had abysmal cooling before the latest cooler they put on the 480s and 1060s and the rest of the cards of that generation. Can I overcome this ? Does anybody have any experience with that card ? Is it a thermal paste issue ? Or is it just a bad cooler ?

Hi all, My first ever build has taken it’s first major casualty, the graphics card. It was an XFX (maybe sapphire?) R9 290x. So I need a new card now. Any suggestions for a card of comparable performance? I know Volta is coming out soon and I’ve been holding out until then, but now my rig is out of commission completely as far as gaming goes. It’s also worth mentioning that my monitor is a 144hz FreeSync monitor. Price is a big issue too. I know Nvidia is selling their cards at MSRP (or close to) prices so that gives me some good options there. Call me crazy, but I feel like an RX 580 shouldn’t run me almost 900 bucks! My system is: i7 4790k MSI Gaming 3 Mobo 16GB Ram samsung 860 evo 500gb 1tb HDD

Making this post for 2 reasons, to help others and to solve a weird issue. First, I got sick and tired of the heat and noise the Asus R9 290x Directcu II was putting out. What Asus was smoking with slapping that cooler on was beyond me. The card isn't officially supported by Nzxt as it is a non reference pcb. But it works just fine. You have to remove 1 part of the backplate (it's a small 1 inch wide portion of the backplate that hangs down the side) and don't use the washers supplied by nzxt or the screws won't reach. I used a corsair h55 water cooler with it. Temperatures went from 88c at 80% fan speed to 67c at 30% fan speed. It's amazing. The problem The card kept crashing to a black screen, even at idle. After much troubleshooting I noticed that on hwmonitor64 I was getting a shit ton of gpu memory errors (talking thousands). This told me that the card was suddenly not getting enough power (at stock, no OC). I raised the core voltage by 15mv and sure enough it is rock solid stable for the last 6 hours. Now it's not really a problem, as it's working great with a slight bump in power, but it's my ocd that's keeping my head scratching. Without the shitty dcii cooler, I had to give it an extra bump in voltage. Any ideas? Or should I just ignore it and hope my ocd doesn't get the best of me lol. The pump and fan are plugged into my mobo, and pump is working fine. Vrm temps and gpu temps are low (each around mid to high 60s) at load Specs Fx 6300 at 4.6mhz 1.4125 v Gigabyte 970 UD3P Rev. 2 Asus R9 290x direct cu ii 4gb Corsair hx750 power supply

Hi! Can I flash an r9 290x bios into my r9 290? I know it's risky but I will flash it on the silent fan profile bios, and if that goes bad, I can just roll back to the uber bios, right? I have the wf3 non oc version.

Hey guys, Recently slapped a waterblock on my [working] r9 290x and now I'm having a few issues with it working. Prior to putting this new block on I flashed the card with a bios from a 390x which was accidentally an 8GB model I have a 4gb model so this ended up causing crashing and other issues, I flashed the stock bios back and it was all working well. This card has dual bios however neither of the bios's are working now. I'm able to get into windows and what not but as soon as the card gets a load put on it, the system crashes and the video output stops. I've tried to reflash my stock bios that I made a backup of from a 'dos' state using ATIFlash but it says the adapter is not found. I've seen on some other forums of people jumping the bios chip on the motherboard (https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/re-flash-corrupted-vga-bios.175521/). I was wondering if anyone could suggest something or give me some diagrams for the PCB of a reference R9 290x? TIA

Hey guys, I recently grabbed a second hand 290x (reference design) to use for a mining rig and its sitting at 90 degrees with the stock profile so I have to crank the fan on it which makes it super loud. I was wondering if there was a way to mount a cpu watercooler to it and have some heatsinks on the VRMS with a small fan on it? I know theres things like the Corsair HG10 and the NZXT Kraken g12 but I was trying to do this for as cheap as possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated. TIA

It's time for an upgrade. Recently coil whine has come to plague my R9 290x. I need a card with more crab than 4gb. Even on a 1600 x 900 (I'll be upgrading to 1080p) screen I have games that max my 290 out. I like to play open world games but I definitely want ultra in them all. I was going to get a GTX 1060 but I've just recently discovered some issues possible with the card. I'd just like recommendations. I'm also thinking nvidia is the way to go. Many thanks in advance. ?

Hello, I suppose I have an issue here - as a friend of mine has lost some cables from his modular power supply, he can't yet replace his GTX 670 which I would be getting otherwise. As my power supply should be able to just about handle it, he handed me a R9 290X Lightning (another hand down from another friend) for the time being. Now the issue - I don't want to risk anything with my PSU, so I would like to undervolt and underclock the GPU. Is that easily possible, or can I expect some issues? Or should I just keep my GTX 560 for a couple more weeks? Or should I just stop worrying and start again once I run into actual issues?

i CAN'T overclock my 290x after wattman supported the "200" series I can't overclock the way I used to be. I don't know why I can't, before I can overclock it to 1200 if the temperature are good I used sapphire trixx software and everything good but after wattman supported 200 series I can't control the voltage the way I used to work because wattman prevent me to exceed 1250 voltages. ?? helppppp

I can get the NZXT kraken G10 and Cooler-master h55 aio cooler for £50 from a friend, is it worth it? I can overclock my card but it starts thermal throttling, would this help achieve greater clocks?

Hey guys, I'm gonna need some advice on my rig. I've been using this like 4 years from now for gaming and surfing. I did some improvements on the rig but I'm not sure if I'm using it right or if I did something wrong. I just want to get the "best" out of this build. Here are the specs of it and some issues that I want to mention, the whole system and some questions about it down there. What I'd like to have is your comments and some advice on it. (fyi, I can't spend any money for it since I am unemployed at this very moment and will be for 3-5 months more.) Specs Spoilers contain Spec lists of the components. And click on components to go the manufacturer's website for the product itself. (as much detail as possible cos why not.) Mobo: MSI 970 gaming socket AM3+ Cpu: AMD 8120 / 3.1 GHz Black Edition (couldn't find the official cpu page) Vga: Sapphire Tri-X R9 290X 4G GDDR5 Memory(s): Silicon Power Xpower 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2133 Ram Psu: Xilence XP700 700W 135MM Fan Gaming Series 80+ Power Supply Chasis: Zalman Z3 plus ATX mid tower Computer Case Ssd: 500gb Samsung ssd 750 evo -> contains my geniune win10 pro, and games and stuff. Cpu Cooler: Zalman LQ 310 Single fan with push-pull, installed. Chipset cooler: Xigmatek Porter Chipset Cooler (N881) interesting part here, I am using it but I don't know do I still need it, with a 8cm silent fan operated by motherboard. I'll be sharing HWmonitor temperatures because that was why I felt the need of using this "chipset cooler" because why not. Hdd1: 2tb WD green 7200rpm sata 3.0 (used to be external but it's "external adapter circut board(not sure it's the name for it)" stopped working, now it's internal), contains my steam games but it has bad sectors in it. Sometimes I have to copy what I can from the game backup with Jfile recovery and make steam redownload the broken data. Hdd2: 1tb WD blue 7200rpm sata 3.0 (empty) sometimes I install linux on it and be happy. Hdd3: 2tb WD my book external usb 3.0 -> contains all my data (photos, backups, etc) I don't always put both 2 internal hdd Sound card: I use Asus Xonar DG 5.1 PCI soundcard because the on board sound quality of this particular motherboard of MSI is absolutely disgusting. OK. It's not much right? But the performance I'm getting from it is not my issue and It's totally fine imo. But temperature levels and noise pollution totally are. Which is why I've decided to share all the details with my rig to you guys and hear you out. I don't overclock it. It runs everything on stock with latest build of win10 pro as OS and always updated, latest drivers from amd for r9 290x, latest drivers of everything on the setup. I'm using it for gaming, surfing, I do maintenance for once in 3 months; I change thermal paste, I remove dust and I believe the cable management is OK (not perfect but really enough to not to block the airflow if you check out some pics at the attachment part ) And I use this thermal paste (click to go the manufacturer website) maybe this is an issue? TX Thermal Paste 30g model TXCCT3OG Thermal conductivity ≥ 1.93 W/m-K Thermal impedance < 0.255°C-in²/W The airflow looks like this; (the weird heatsink at the middle is a chipset cooler which I stated on my specs) So what do you think? Is the airflow ok? Should I keep using that chipset cooler or not? There used to be the stock heatsink on the chipset which is that; But I've changed it with a custom, bigger heatsink works with a 8cm fan that I mentioned up here because my pc was running hot. But that didn't work. Yeah AMD systems runs hot I know. But still I wanted to do something about it. I wonder why it runs so hot and I don't know whether some Intel systems overheat that much too. Below there are temps. Here are my temperatures from HwMonitor after gaming (Dirt Rally on ultra 1080p) for an hour; When I was gaming, ambient temp was 15-20 celcius See the tmpin1 temp on hwmonitor? 91 celcius max. I mean what is that? It runs 80 - 90 celcius when I game. It's not the chipset in that case right? Because installing an aftermarket heatsink didn't help. I was getting the same temperature levels before installing it and now it still runs hot. About the noise issue, some might say it's silent when it's idle. But I can't stand even to that noise and while gaming, I use headphones to not to hear it. But I have a surround sound system and I'm not hearing it clearly when the volume is low enough to not to wake anyone up in the house. This is the best I could get with what I have.. I mean, would Noctua fans run more silent? Sorry I can't measure the sound of it and post it here somehow. But I can say it's loud for me. Maybe it's not loud for any other user out there but I don't know. How is your system running? For example if you have an intel system and an nvidia card, would that run more silent? how can I make this rig "dead silent"? or I can't? If I have a custom water cooled system with all the blocks and stuff, would it be silent? And of course what do you suggest me to do with what I have? If i spend a little on something you suggest, what can I achieve? Is something wrong with this rig? I need all of your suggestions and comments really. And I included some more photos of my setup at the attachments if you'd like to see the system from different angles. I guess that's it.. Had a lot of questions for you guys. Thank you for your time and please enlighten me if you have anything to say about this setup.
