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.

>>57371623
the power is on the fans are spinning and the led is lit

are you really this retarded?

>>57371673
>>57371590
hold on anon, 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.

>>57371744
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.

>>57371888
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.

>>57371744
>>57371888


>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.

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

AMD patched their hardware issue with software
don't worry Nvidia will patch the VRM issue :^)

>>57372119
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.

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.

http://www.evga.com/thermalmod/

>>57372823
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.

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

>>57371296

>>57372059
Shitty motherboards deserve to die anyways.

>>57372966
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.

>>57372806
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

>>57373244

>>57372806
also if it's not wraith edition get a different cooler asap and maybe undervolt it to keep temps under control

Nice seeing this meme making a comeback.

>>57372901
What did PNY and Gigabyte supposedly do differently?

>>57372152
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.

>>57375850
>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.

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.

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

>Not nvidia reference cards that are going up in flames

>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?

>>57383342

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.

>>57372059
>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.

>>57372306
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.

>>57372627
what did they do though?

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

>>57372879
LOL

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

They got complacent and start putting out subpar shit.

>>57381784
Even now instead of replacing the cards like a good company would they're mailing out thermal tampon pads to idiot kids like that's acceptable at all.

EVGA are greedy assholes who deserve to go under.

I'd never trust them again for anything, especially not a PSU.

>>57382095

This is for the massive Nvidia Pascal defect

Not the Nvida fangay LARPing thread.

>>57383342
Yeah the other cards just haven't caught on fire yet, I'm sure the 120 C temps will do it eventually.
