R9 280X Bsod

[c3p0]

Ok so I got this R9 280X running in furmark and games. The problem is whenever it hits 70 C° the screen crashes out but the applications are still running. So is this card fried/rma? I haven't done anything crazy with it, no OC just stock.

 

furmark run till crash. BSOD not on record somehow but there is a wattage increase at 1:00, exactly when the crash happens.

The R9 280X is a power hungry card, maybe that 530w PSU is not enough. Check if the amp in the 12volt rail of the PSU meets the card's requirements. I have an ASUS top edition and the recommended wattage is 750 watts, but they usualy recommend over the real needs of the card just to be safe. I use a 700 watts PSU 80+

I can't find that 12v A specs from the card anywhere. PSU states

+12V1: 28 Ampere +12V2: 20 Ampere

^This. That psu has dual rails where the second rail can only provide up to 240w (20A). So there is a possibility that there's not enough wattage for your graphics card.

Ok I've looked into some review and it needs way more. Dual rail can't handle it.

 

 

Power consumption Radeon R9-280X

1. System in IDLE = 121W
2. System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 350W
3. Difference (GPU load) = 229W
4. Add average IDLE wattage ~10W
5. Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 239 Watts

 

350W in full load which is far beyond my psu can handle

I'll jam in some Corsair RM 850 next month which should do it and then review this problem again.

Yupe.I think you've figured that one out. May I ask have you bought the RM850 yet? If not,may I recommend you other psu that is better and possibly cheaper than the corsair psu.

Not bought but there was some plans on rig update soon.

 

i3 4330

Asus Z97 A

This card, if not broken

G.Skill Ares or Corsair Platinum 2133

And some Gold 80+ PSU which is now needed :[

 

Yepp yet another bankrobbery plan

Seems quite an unbalanced build with just an i3 in a Z97 motherboard and an expensive ram. But that's for another thread. May I suggest you try have a look at other PSU brands too like the excellent evga supernova G2 or cooler master v series.
