Hi guys, I took apart my R9 Fury X to clean the fan, the unit is 6 years old and needed some cleaning.
When i opened up the watercooling compartment, I noticed the output pipe was not secured well at all, it came apart in my hand. I Assume the piping had corroded and was brittle but not enough to prohibit water flowing.
I now wonder if you can help me with a solution to this issue. Do I get a half inch soft pipe and cable tie it to the unit (after refill), get a new AIO cooler or buy a custom heatsink for the card and go the custom loop route?
I generally use air cooling as I have two small children and there was a near miss episode with a custom loop a few years ago, my brother built an XL ATX machine with fan controller on the front and my daughter turned the pump off while I was at work, the pipes overheated and leaked everywhere, narrowly avoiding the components.
I am hoping to resurrect this card cooler as when I try to use the onboard ports my PC will not boot and flashes the VGA failure on its EZ LED display, it says to clear the CMOS with a cap in the manual but I don't seem to have one, I assume the system is searching for my dedicated graphics card, or the onboard chip is not working (or my cpu ryzen 1600 does not have integrated gaphics?) If i do end up getting a new card I'm looking for anything with 8GB VRAM as ubisoft like to whine about requirements
Please help!
