Just bought a new graphics card for my pc. Replaced my old Raedon 6790 HD, with MSI R9 270x OC 4GB.
My system:
Seagate 500gb
Intel i5-2500 3.30ghz
Cyberpower PSAZ-CP800 800w
8GB ram kingston ddr3 (4x 2gb)
1080p 24inch monitor
windows 7 64bit
2 fans 1 intake 1 outake
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3-B3
Drivers all up to date.
Firstly you should know, the r9 270x needs 2x 6pin. my pcu only has 1 so iv had to use 2x molex to actually power the card. which i think is the problem, my pcu.
The card works fine when browsing the internet and other non strenuous tasks.
Gaming is where the problems start. it comes pre clocked 1080 core 1400 mem, BF4 works fine but with my case side panel off. when on it crashes after 10mins or so. Demon souls 2, it crashes as soon as i move, the crash screen is brown with horizontal lines, iv had to turn my overclock down to 850 core and 1100 mem, wheres theres no problems, yet. i find it odd that it crashes on demon souls 2 but not on bf4.
When playing both games, the card gets quite loud, its as soon as the game loads up, not on loading screen just before gameplay, its not the cards fan making a noise because i have them turned up to 50% anyway at the moment. the game still works, i just know it shouldnt be making that noise, i dont want to keep using my card whilst i have this problem i feel the more i use it the more damage i am doing.
I want to be able to overclock my card to the max, whilst obviously not having the crashes or the loud noise. I think its my psu, would buying another solve the problem, using 2x molex isnt helping the cause i know its not recommended. also planning on getting two more noctua fans for the top of my case.
