I used the wattage calculator and looks like the system pulls around 600w at max with intense oc. I'll see if I ran into any crashes.

Hey all,

I just built myself a new rig and I'm having trouble with my crossfire rx480s.

For some reasons, sometime the system freeze partially (like the start menu or something minor, restarting windows explorer or sign in-out would solve).

I think this problem may have something to do with my graphics cards since everytime I "unfreeze" my pc they tend to be very loud. Sounds like they went full throttle for like 5 seconds.

This is my first time doing dual gpu setup, anyone has any idea what's causing the freezing and full throttle problem? Also, any recommandations on software to diagnostic?

P.S. one of my quad channel ram can't be recognized by the system for some reason, I am positive it's the ram not my motherboard. Is there a way I can fix it?

Many thanks!!

I'm sorry, but I don't think that the RX480 supports crossfire.

RX 480s do support XDMA CrossFire!

Duh! Sorry for my stupidity :P. Have you tried downloading the drivers from AMD's website (not XFX's, as they AMD might have updated drivers)?

Yeah I have the latest driver. I think the crossfire part works fine but there are some weird problem that's causing the pc to freeze occasionally.

re-install drivers?

Restart PC?

Rollback to previous Windows build?

Crossfire is supported by RX 480. As for the problems, it does sound like a driver issue at this point.

That loud noise on start up is normal. My card does it too. I'm thinking maybe 650W isn't enough for xfire 480

Hmmm, I'll take a look at my drivers I guess. Thanks~

That's a relief! I think I'm on the edge with the wattage :P
