My GPU (r9 290) suddenly set on fire, I was next to my pc when it happened and turned it off, quickly took off the side panel and fought the flame back. I have no idea what went on, was just doing some web browsing and it went.

Holy shit, I hope the rest works... Try booting with the iGPU.
Sucks m8, were the temps fine last time you checked?
I assume it's out of warranty already, right?
>>55930586
RIP
Wait for RX495 or 1080Ti, use the iGPU and take a break from gaming.
>>55930586
We warned you
>>55930586
Reminds me about the anon who burnt his mobo with his amd cpu.
This time it was his fault thought because it's wasn't support
>>55930586
Holy shit. Try to RMA it.
>>55930586
What brand?
why the fuck do people buy amd again?
Same thing happened to my 290x a year ago. The fire ended up damaging the motherboard too, and both were past warranty.
Check if your PC still boots

>implying a faulty VRM or MOSFET is AMD's fault
>>55930586
Iirc (got a 290X) that's where the memory VRMs are located. I suppose one was faulty and shorted out, or overheated because the PSU was delivering to little voltage, which drove the current up.
It's a very uncommon fault, and pure happenstance.
>>55932710
Probably the same reason people continue to buy Nvidia even after the Fermi disaster ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>55930586
>water cooling
No mystery here.
>>55930586
First of all that isn't your picture. This was posted on another website. Second the idiot shorted out his memory power delivery with his water cooling setup. Probably didn't use thermal pads.
>>55930586
Just amazing. Another AMD success story.
>>55932710
because amada
and memes
>>55932348
yeah my cpu always burns shit down by my pcie slots...
>>55933928
don't expect anything above a room temperature IQ here friend.
>>55933968
It would if you tried to run a 185 watt CPU in a bored designed for 95 watt CPUs.

according to >>55934220 its an msi. he had it for little over two years.
a lot of people believe it was caused by a short caused by his loop.
>>55930586
Well your mobo just proved it features AMD Crossfire
>>55933990
25 IQ is quite low.
>>55930586
the 290 needed to take an explosive poo but couldn't find the loo
>>55934220
Too soon anon haha
>>55930617

>Brand new custom water loop
Step 1: OP didn't install the waterblock right. Step 2: Waterblock didn't make contact with voltage regulator
Step 3: OP ran Furmark
Step 4: Voltage regulator goes kaboom
Step 5: OP is a faggot and blames the GPU instead of his incompetence
>>55930586
Lying nvidia shill.
