Hello guys!
So about a month ago I bought an R9 290x. I had it for about 3 days when all of the sudden I turn on my pc and hear a loud beep and start smelling smoke. I replaced the card with 2 7970s and had them for about 3days when the first card failed. No smoking or beeping or anything. Just stopped displaying. The second works just fine.
I purchased another 7970 but before I install it I wish to know why this keeps happeneing. Do I just have bad luck? Or could it be that power supply cable that's faulty. Or maybe the pcie slot is killing the cards.
The power supply I am using is a Silverstone Strider Evolution 1000w Gold. My motherboard is an Asus Rampage IV Formula.
Also prior to all of this I owed a GTX 780 and it ran for months without problems. I really haven't got a clue what to think. So far am having very bad expirence with AMD however.
