Just got a new Asus R9 390 OC Strix. First impressions were -- wow, it idles at 60 degrees, even with the fan at 500 RPM. Assumed it was supposed to idle at 0db, considering my 970 Strix (replaced because I bought a 1440p Freesync) ran at 34 degrees idle with the fan completely off...
I install GPU Tweak II, turn on the basic Game Mode with 0db and now the fan drops to 0% and it idles around 60 still.
Ran Unigine Valley - scores match review benchmarks and load temp is 84 degrees, so at least load temps aren't bad.
I boot up Elder Scrolls Online. Everything seems fine, runs about as well as my 970, but with Freesync now. About 2 minutes later there's a horrible sound in my headphones, black screen and the last sound continues to drone on. I reset the PC -- it boots up but no picture. I reset again, no signal... numlock turns on and off, so I guess the PC has booted. Force a shutdown holding the power button, turn back on, and now it boots normally.
Maybe GPU Tweak is causing the problem? I've uninstalled it and I haven't had an issue YET, but that kind of freeze doesn't seem like just a one off type.
Any ideas? I have a 650w Corsair RM Gold. Single 12v rail, using a single PCIExpress Cable (which has branching 2x 6+2 connectors) to power the GPU.
Never had a single crash in my life with the Asus 970 (had for a year), and the new 390 had a scary one! :/ Fresh install of windows 10 as well, because I wanted to avoid driver conflicts (I know they are unlikely, but I'm stuck in my ways).
