Just got my Asus R9 280x DirectCU II Top today put the card into my pc Displays a red led over the 8 pin and a green over the 6 pin.

I have tried mutiple cords and and positions on the psu also changed what side is the 6 pin and the 8 pin connector. Previously had 2 evga gtx 570 classified that have a 8 pin and a 6 pin connector each and they both work fine.

Is it just a faulty 8 pin on the card?

PSU is a corsair ax 850w
