    XFX R9-390 way too hot, sucking up too many watts doing nothing

    So basically you can fry your card or burn your house down because the monitors dont match! I hope XFX and AMD looks carefully at this thread because thats frigging BS. There is nothing wrong with my case, its the card cooking away and setting off a thermal runaway because even though they...

    XFX R9-390 way too hot, sucking up too many watts doing nothing

    OK I brought out my backup 2065 and now running them both, the issue is resolved. I guess the 390 ramped up sucks alot of juice. I will reinstall it and report back. Wow all that hydro and heat for the last few years because it cant have 2 different monitors....what a joke hahha

    XFX R9-390 way too hot, sucking up too many watts doing nothing

    Thanks for the replies. I've had this case over 7 years now, actually the PS, case and mobo have been going 24/7 since dec 2011. I like this case cause the whole front is meshed with little holes and a thin foam behind it to trap dust and cat fur. The side cover inlets are blocked off with...

    XFX R9-390 way too hot, sucking up too many watts doing nothing

    I just purchased a 390 to replace my 280x but this thing its just sucking up power doing nothing. First thing I noticed it my power supply running hot like a blow dryer, at idle. 12v way lower than usual, 5v down too. Anyone else have aida64 and the 390 that can compare watts and temps? I had...
