AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Owners Thread

would it be possible for someone to measure the length of their card from the back of the i/o plate to the end of the card please?

I know they are listed as 307mm long but my current palit gtx970 is supposed to be 257mm long but it isnt without including the bent over screw point on the i/o plate and i need to be sure it will fit my case before purchase.

hey guys I have two questions about this gpu I got myself a sapphire 295x2 and was wondering will this psu be enough heres the amps on it

thermaletake TP 1200
AC Input 100V-240V, 15A, 47-63 Hz
DC Voltage +12V1 +12V4 +3.3V +12V2 +12V3 +5V -12V +5VSB
Max. Output 20A 36A 30A 20A 36A 30A 0.8A 3.5A
600W 600W 9.6W 17.5W
1200W

and I would like to change the fan on the rad I have a corsair 120sp pwm but it has 4pins would it be ok if I used a PHOBYA Adapter 4Pin PWM to 3Pin?

Should be okay, but it's a dual rail design with 60A on one rail and 80A if you use both, so make sure you use both rails.

im using an older version of the thermaltake tp thats why I posted the amps

As far as I remember, There's only a 2 pin connector so the rad fan always goes at a constant speed.

I checked the fan that comes with is a 3 pin
 
Could someone confirm me if the psu below can handle this gpu its the old thermaltake tp1200.

thermaletake TP 1200
AC Input 100V-240V, 15A, 47-63 Hz
DC Voltage +12V1 +12V4 +3.3V +12V2 +12V3 +5V -12V +5VSB
Max. Output 20A 36A 30A 20A 36A 30A 0.8A 3.5A
600W 600W 9.6W 17.5W
1200W

Looking at your PSU it looks like it has 2 rails, Someone correct me if I'm wrong but you will have to see which rails go to which PCI-E connectors as each 8 Pin connector on the card needs 28 amps.
 
hey guys can I connect a corsair sp 120 3 pin directly to the graphic card in place of the stock fan will it work?
and is there a way to control fanspeed on the vrm fan?
 
I had never considered or even looked at this card until recently, but this whole 970 debacle has me looking for another card, and the X2 peaked my interest. I am unsure I can run it well though... I have an EVGA 850W G2 PSU, 5820k (OC'd to 4.4) with Asus X99-S mbd and 16mb RAM, all in an H440 case... which I am concerned is going to cause cooling issues. Any thoughts? I'm debating between this and a reference 980, which I know loses out to the X2 in performance stakes, but I know it will at least sit and run in my system very well.
 
I'm not sure about your PSU, you're cutting it mighty fine. I'd say at the very least a decent 1000w psu would be ideal for heavy loads and gaming. And my brother owns a h440 and we both agree that case is not suited for air cooling but it is very silent.

Yeah, I've been advised against it by others lol... doesn't seem like it would be the smartest move unless I plowed a load of money in to a new case and PSU... which I really don't want to do!
 
maybe the best is either a Corsair or a Phanteks case and a 1000W psu, mine is excellent, but you'll need this for 380X Crossfire as well

Is that certain though? Even if it was though, it's more justified for a step-up to next gen (if it's a 980 beater), rather than buying older tech that I may not keep THAT long.

Interested in a 295x2. Can someone with experience tell me if an Enermax Revolution85+ (850W) is good enough for this card?

I believe thats the one with the 6 rails, of which they can do 30A but only 70A all 6 combined yes?

Tough question imho and depending what you have connected and how much A you consume already, since you need 2 x 28A per 8pin socket, but 50A combined for the 295X2.


If you trully want a 295X2 and believe me is a fantastic card, especially overclocked, buy one, try to fit each socket to different rail and power up.

If it doesn't work, buy a 1000W superflower single rail PSU, if it works happy days :)
More likely it will work, if there are no issues with the PSU, since the 295X2 needs 50A combined, and 2 rails on your PSU will provide that.
