RX 480 No Post

Any ideas guys?

Just got the card brand new, put it in my ROG Maximus Formula and nothing?

Have tried the PCI slot with other cards and that's fine, 6 pin power connectors seem fine but no way to test the voltage supplied.

Card doesn't light up in the slot and I think it is supposed to on boot.

I don't have any OCing in my setup.

Corsair 650w psu, only had a X-Fi card in there but removed it to see if it was that which caused it to not post just in case.

Have flashed ROG bios to latest version.

I'm stumped, do I have a doa?

Could be a DOA GPU. Have you tried it in a different PCI-E slot or different system to verify?

edit: realised it said no post. does the 6pin have two 6/8 pin bits on it?

Haven't got another system to try it in here but tried it in the other PCI slot and still no joy, it can't have burnt out the slot as other cards still work.

Yeah got a six pin on its own and a six pin with two pins separately.

Yup, it's doa.

Any motherboard bios updates available? In past when a new GPU lineup has released I have had to update my motherboard bios.

Got a friend / family PC to try it in? If not just RMA it as faulty, ocuk have a fast turn around, if it is faulty you get a new card if not then you know to look elsewhere in the PC

Yeah updated bios today to latest version, I had the same idea myself.

Don't think I've ever had anything doa on me before.

Will look into OCuk rma procedure thanks

I'd also say it's DOA, if the 6pin had been daisy chained (like my superflower), I would have suggested trying the other connector.

Iv never had a totally doa card but my first R9 290 had the black screen of death issue, ocuk return was swift with that one and brought a new one very quickly

No not daisy chained in this psu, both seperate connections, thanks anyway.
