IT KEEPS HAPPENING!!!

>I have plenty of power supplies, have to get a new motherboard. I even had the clock speed on the GPU's clocked at 1000. Oh well, gives me an excuse to get better cards in a month or so. Until then, get a new MB and put the 280s back in.

>I know, but funny thing, I have ran 3 280x's on that system for years with non powered risers and have never had a problem. These draw less power but fried the board. Powered risers (and a new motherboard) or on the way. I'll wait to see what comes out with the 2nd gen of the 480s

Its probably a shitty AMD processor. I doubt the 480 overvolts that much.

The reported issue with the 480 literally could not cause the 24-pin connector to fry like that. That's not how motherboards work.

Shitty motherboard and/or psu

poojeet engineering at its best

this

That user is probably some curry nigger who ran his system on a shitty no-name 800w psu long enough to believe it's decent. Now he's trying to blame the video card.

L-LIEES!!! DELETE THIS!

This retard was using passive risers. No wonder he fried his motherboard. Seems like a lot of absolute morons are going to get a new motherboard out of this non-issue by blaming their own stupidity on AMD.

Lol


The 480 claims another victim

Somehow amd managed to make 480 a greater disaster than fermi.

>480

we should have seen it coming

Anyone buying reference cards deserve it.

...

Those pins are 3.3v and a COM, 12V is at the other end.

>ram with no heatsinks
>msi board
>old enough to have a fucking IDE connector
who is this madman?

PCIE is 3.3v too

Yes, but all the measures of the RX480 have shown that it draws well under the max for 3.3v by the PCI-e spec.

...

A current overdraw by the PCI-E slot could've caused one of the power regulation components to fail, essentially frying the 3.3v rail.

The card wasn't conforming to the PCI-E spec in regards to power, so this kind of thing isn't totally out of the question.

From tomshardware the highest draw on mainboard 3.3v was 7W and the max under spec is 10W, so no problems there.

fermi truly knows no bounds
