R9 290x on ga g31m es2l

[Ado]

Hi all, first of all, sorry for my BAD english, i hope u will understand what i am saying. Second, i have a big problem with my graphics card. I installed R9 290X in to Gigabyte GA-G31m-es2l rev 1.1 mb and i have no video signal at all. My PSU Chieftec GPS-700AB8. Before i installed that card in my mb, i tried this card with EVGA nforce 680i sli mb with the same PSU, and it works fine. Maybe mb is to old, to boot AMD card? BIOS version F10. Now i'm using HD 7850...

that's a power hungry card ... Can the psu supply enough AMP's through the 12v rail?

[Ado]

One rail, 54 amp's.

Not the fact that it's a power hungry card, it's just an extremely shitty PSU. @OP should get a new one.

i agree on that , but it may be able to pull through considering it's 700w. But OP should consider that.

Your power supply is probably close to blowing at this point. R9 290Xs like their juice, so you're going to need a beefy power supply, and something reliable so it doesn't overheat and burn your house down when too much is drawn off the 12v rail.

550W can easily run a 290 btw. It's most likely the fact that it's a shitty PSU though.

Indeed.

 

@Ado- when this card worked with your nforce motherboard, were you using the same power supply?

I will try with better PSU, thanks for now

I have tried my R9 290x in AM3 mb with PCIe-3 slot and card worked just fine. After that, i tried to boot this card with two MSI and Gigabyte 1155 socket mb with PCI-E 2.0 and nothing... For now i'm using GA-H61MA-D2V mb with latest bios... but that card won't work... damn... maybe this card is faulty?
