HI my MSI 290x gaming edition is dying, i have had black screens major crashes and non boots in the last few days:(
I can build pcs and have gone through everything including the memory issues of those peaking and dipping but i think this deff on its way out, i have a Kraken cooler on it tried re fitting etc
But no its not playing game :(
So i want a replacement under £300 i may get the same model as Overclockers do it for £275 now which is a lot cheaper;) but if anyone could suggest others maybe the Tri-x? i havent had experience of their cards whats the best for noise versus heat?
Thanks for any advice.
 
Did you have any ramsinks on the card or just running a Kraken ?


Yes the Tri-X is a good option especially temp wise

He yeah i bought some ramsinks for the memory chips and keep an eye on temps of the vrm they were fine, it just started playing up and crashing last few days. Overclocks on cpu fine.
Ill give the tri x a lok over then thanks
