housefires are back

>few evga = all cards

All EVGA cards Pascals

>card isnt plugged into power

Stop putting lighter fluid on your GPUs and claiming EVGA is out to get you, retards.

>the most popular gtx brand
>any of their new stuff will burn out
nice damage control

>isn't plugged into power

t. prebuilt purchaser

1. Computer isn't on
2. No power goes to the GPU when the power is not on.
3. Computer will not post when there is no power to the GPU
4. Stop putting lighter fluid on your GPUs and claiming EVGA is out to get you, retards.

the power is on the fans are spinning and the led is lit

are you really this retarded?

hold on user, that guy is retarded but he may be on to something.

look at the PCIe power connectors, they're not plugged in.

Its possible that the card didnt have robust enough current regulating circuitry on the PCIe bus power in and tried to draw 10+ amps (at the pcie 12v mobo power) through the one or two MOSFETs that normally handle the 75w max from the mobo.

Just a guess though.

Card shouldn't even work if the extra power connectors aren't connected. My GTX 980 refuses to do anything if they aren't connected properly. Even if one 8 pin is connected and the other has higher resistance than usual it refuses to boot. Never mind if it's missing completely.

Depends on the design of the card. Well designed ones will do what yours did, but poorly designed ones will try to work with available resources, and fuck their own mouths in the process.

>The auxiliary 8-pin and 6-pin power connectors were unplugged in the troubleshooting process. Although that in no way prevents power from going to the graphics card via the PCIe slot. Which is capable of delivering 75 Watts of power and is why we clearly see the LED lights and the fans turn on before the VRMs suddenly go up in flames.

>Normally, what would happen if you unplug the PCIe power connectors is that the card would power on normally. In this case the system will boot up as long as the monitor is plugged into the motherboard's on-board graphics. However, if you have the monitor plugged into the graphics card you will be greeted by an error screen reminding you to plug the power cables and restart. Or, you will hear a warning beep. In this case the card will also power on, but you won't get a video signal.

>nothing happens
Except things did happen, motherboards died left and right

It's okay when Nvidia does it.

It's clearly not though, everyone is making a big deal out of it. 480s killed motherboards and got shit on, now evga is doing it and is getting shit on. What point are you trying to make

Clearly it's ok when AMD does it because OP seems to think nothing happened with the 480

>beleiving teh few trolls who immediately spammed amd boards with fake bullshit

zero proof motherboards actually died and tests have been done where nothing happened when stressing the system

at most the pci-e connecter would burn out the contacts and even that hasn't happened yet and amd patched it

nvidiots being stupid again where there is video evidence of their cards burning

>zero proof motherboards actually died

Not correct, motherboards did indeed die. However they were all Bitcoin rigs with 3-4 cards connected to a single board.

>T-They are just trolls
>N-No motherboards died
AMD patched their hardware issue with software
don't worry Nvidia will patch the VRM issue :^)

Nope, PCI-E connector wouldn't be damaged. The most likely effect of a card overdrawing from PCI-E slot is the 20/24 pin motherboard connector being damaged. That is the weakest link.

VRM patch when

did you even read your source buddy?

It says the boards still work, just not the slot the card was in at the time.

If they can emulate HW scheduling in software, I'm sure they can fix this!

>source is a single forum post
>blurry picture of pcie slot
just some guy using an old motherboard to troll

>haha you didn't show videos as the pci slot broke

Don't worry user they'll patch it just like AMD did

NVIDIA IS FINISHED!1!1!1!

>it literally is ok when AMD does it

Fuck now can't buy EVGA PSU's, cooler master are $keks, what else can I buy?

Zotac, Galax, Palit, Asus (expensive tho)

Strix is fucking garbage

Just bought these how bad did I fuck up ? Not picked a gpu yet...

Looks cool in the black case with red lights.

I have a friend that swears by them.

>AMD FX
>Anus motherboard
>Red light meme
Into the trash it goes

This is an issue that is only exists in EVGA cards, where the VRM is not cooled well enough. They are addressing the issue by giving customers free thermal pads and bringing out a BIOS update that changes the fan profile.

evga.com/thermalmod/

That's awkward
I wish they would ditch their shitty "GAYMER LEDS LOL" design, work on fixing their shitty bearings and software, stop using cheap thermal pads, and fix their thermal paste application. Their customer support is shit tier on all front so I doubt that will ever be fixed.
My z170 deluxe came without a socket cover and had flux near the northbridge, their response, "u did it"

>Not correct, motherboards did indeed die. However they were all Bitcoin rigs with 3-4 cards connected to a single board.

>2016

cannot believe that for a second

>Just an EVGA issue
Ackshually, it's all manufacturers except gigabyte and PNY. EVGA is just the one who has actually had a few explode.

I have had two AMD products explode on me in my life. One was an 8350 and the other was a leaky fury X. I don't blame AMD for the 8350 as I think it was a shitty voltage regulator on my ULTRA DURABLE BULLET PROOF LOL motherboard

These are lies invented by AMD nerds. Nothing is wrong with nvidia

Shitty motherboards deserve to die anyways.

Don't falseflag

I've had 3 GPUs pop on me in 15 years. Two were GTX 260s and one was a GTX 770. Never had an AMD card fail on me in my life.

it's recommended spec for BF1, you purchased the future

I've had a really good experience with 960 paired to it. 1050ti seems about matched

r9 380 is about a similar performance bracket if you want to go full red

also if it's not wraith edition get a different cooler asap and maybe undervolt it to keep temps under control

I went 0.1v under at stocks and it's stable

>New bios update actually drops vrm temps by 19 degrees
WTF they actually did patch it

Go back to Sup Forums and Sup Forums where you belong

>Being this arrogant
Fuck off m9 the FTW versions were over clocked to hell and no heatsinks were put on them for whatever reason.

>pic related, proof
>Screenshot_20161102-094823.png

Sure, probably by down-clocking and limiting the hardware...

i used my gtx460 without the 6pin since release. it's still going strong and never throttling.

No it just fixes the regulator

lmfao every new nvidia release catches fire. literally, every. single. one.
even an onboard nvidia gpu caught fire, melted the mobo, somehow it still boots haha

>It was j-j-just the FTW m-models!!!

>literally only happening to EVGA cards because they forgot to put cooling for the vram on the ACX 3.0 coolers
>EVGA responds by literally handing out free thermal pads and retard-proof instructions on how to install so people can properly cool their vram, or even exchange their current cards for new ones with the vbios update and thermal pads installed, as well as respecting warranties even when said modifications are made to begin with
>"LMFAO NOBIDEO IS DONENZO"

Clock speeds are the same nigga

>VRAM
It's the VRM

Oh no, that completely invalidates his point I guess.

I was expecting this to be posted.
youtu.be/sRo-1VFMcbc

I don't remember the housefire music that went with it.

>recently buying a shitty CPU that was DOA years ago

>when AMD is releasing new, broadwell tier CPUs in a couple of months

how retarded do you gotta be

happening to MSI cards too

tfw you didn't fall for the evga meme
everyone encourages others to get evga cards because of muh warranty and customer support when they don't even have the lifetime warranty anymore

I'm glad I have an msi card

>sound card bull shit right under the card kill your self

Nice seeing this meme making a comeback.

What did PNY and Gigabyte supposedly do differently?

Are those those cards pulling more than 75W through the slots? or is this another one of those cases where motherboards just can't deliver the rated power through the slot?

I remember 15 years ago, motherboards could die when you used the more powerful AGP cards. A lot of motherboards cheapened out on the power delivery to AGP. Is that what happened here?

They could have massive VRM circuits for the CPU, but hardly anything for the AGP slot.

>forgot

Fucking bullshit. They """""forgot""""" in the sense that they saw they could save 0.1 cents per card by not bothering, knowing they were unlikely to be caught out since Nvidia cards don't have VRM temperature sensors. If the cards hadn't started literally exploding, nobody would have noticed.

>blah blah blah EVGA are so great, wow they're handling this so well!!!

Fuck off, shill cunt. The fact that this was an issue in the first place is unacceptable. No other company fucked up their cooling like this. The paid viral campaign to try and make EVGA look like heroes for doing the absolute bare minimum in response (i.e. cranking up the fan speed with a BIOS update and handing out tiny thermal pad kits) isn't going to work.

youtube.com/watch?v=O2-VaOPOvgI

This is the original video which Wccftech STOLE and just put their own name on it instead of just giving people a link to the creator of the video.

>What did PNY and Gigabyte supposedly do differently?

Because it cost money to acknowledge the issue and to replace everyone's cards. They rather never admit it and hope it gets covered up.

source

Are you retarded? They mention the creator in the video.

>NOVIDEO FAGGOTS GETTING KEKED AGAIN

YOU DESERVE THIS FOR NOT BUYING AMD

It's just some cards, it's not like ALL RX 480 that has been burning all those motherboards, mmmh ??? If the low-tier GPU burn a motherboard, then the high-end will melt your computer case ?

That isn't what anyone was saying
I was just correcting him, don't get so triggered

>RMAing it
>not just putting new themal pads on

its quicker and easier to order pads via rickshaw from Malaysia than RMA

Had to RMA my graphics card a month ago. Had my replacement two days after I sent the broken one in.

I dealt directly with the store tho. They just sent out the replacement the second they got my old one.

Because no one else has said it yet

>op is a fucking faggot

I love how everyone's screaming "NVIDIA BTFO HOUSEFIRES LOLOLOL"

When:
>Not nvidia reference cards that are going up in flames
>Just 1 derivative of a shitty cooling solution implementation
>No other cards on fire

So riddle me this, how does this whole fiasco have anything to do with nVidia when a board partner is just being shitty and probably had their engineer's lynched for being this retarded?

>meanwhile AMD reference design burnt out motherboards

Ah, Sup Forums, I sure love it when retards try trolling or damage control. This whole thread was a Sup Forums humour thread.

It's ok when AMD does it

There was never any real proof posted that AMD GPU's fried motherboards. Ever. It was all just hearsay and shitty photos of some crap motherboards that would have died anyway due to being shit and having fat man milk dropped all over them.

glorious asus masterrace (until i need to use their useless support)

>2016
>paying for a FX CPU

>IT'S LITERALLY ON FUCKING FIRE


ahaha omg, Nvidia is finished

how will fangays eve recover?

EVGA has been the biggest NVIDIA OEM for the last decade. This is the type of quality you can expect from their corner cutting methods.

Sure looks like it's on to me chief, ever used a PC before?

>480s killed motherboards

1 motherboard actually, and we still don't know if they card was the culprit.

This situation affects all Pascal cards though, EVGA the most because they used the cheapest thermal tampons.

But all current gen Nvidia cards run dangerously hot right now.

Nvidia fangays don't know what evidence means

They're very gullible, that's why they buy "Founder's Edition" cards for extra money and worse cooling.

what did they do though?

wtf I'm gonna replace my 1080 with an AMD Radeon RX480 Vapor-X!

LOL

here little 12 year old Billy, just take apart your $500 graphics card and apply these new tampax card tampons.

what you do mean you just wanna play Caw of Duty little Billy? You don't like spending hours modding faulty stuff you already paid for? Some hardware enthusiast you are!

>those chink NVIDIA engineers who said 120 Celsius was "fine"

For the same reason when 1 AMD card runs at 90C due to a shitty cooler, and suddenly the entire line must be a housefire.

Yeah, they just throttled it hard totally gimping the performance.

Fuck, Nvidia usually at least waits until new cards come out before the gimping begins. This is next level jewry.

>VRAM

you mean VRM, bad damage control attempt EVGA marketer.
