Hi,
My R9 290 has been slowly failing over the last couple of weeks freezing in game initially then problems with the graphics tearing, artefacts, on the desktop which after rebooting 2,3 times disappeared now though system won’t even boot . Have swapped the card out with an R7 250 I had in an older system and everything seems to be working fine.
Bought the system second hand so just a couple of questions, GPU is water cooled using a corsair H50 with nzxt g10 fan cooling the vrm’s, have just realised there’s no cooling on the Vram is it possible that Vram has failed due to lack of cooling or is it more likely to be a vrm as there are no heat sinks on either.
Anybody out there running a similar setup? have you added additional heat sinks to the Vram and vrm’s if not have you had any problems?
Is it worth having it repaired?
