I do believe my RX480 died

So I was playing DiRT4, weekend, relaxing day. Suddenly black screen, machine restarted itself, heard a single particular beep after the usual one on boot. No video output since then, no fanspin, no heat generated.

 

Tests I've carried out:

1. Reseating it plus all the ram sticks because why not.

2. Plugged older AMD graphics card, PCIE slot is working (LED logo on the RX480 works since it pulls from PCIE anyway)

3. Tried a different 8pin connector and different VGA slot on the PSU.

4. Tried running the card off of another PSU seperately.

 

Nada, shows no signs of life. Did I miss anything?

try a different pcie slot if possible, or try the card in a different system.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

Check your PCIe slot and 24-pin for any damage/burn marks.

At least reference RX 480s pulled more than the standard 75W from the PCIe slot.

I tried another card in the slot and it worked so dont think the slot is dead. Had the card since early 2017 i think.

Nothing is burned, all good.

try it in a different system if possible, if that did not work, could potentially be a dead card sadly.

Since none of my older systems have 8pin connectors, I powered it off another PSU at the same time. Not sure if that will work properly but nothing happens still.

Just put together a mobo box testbench and tried it off of one PSU, nothing still. I can confidently say its dead forever.

I would want to test if the fans died causing the gpu to burn to hell but dont have anything that can connect a 5pin gpu fan. They definitely wont spin on their own if the thing is a cold rock.
