>I have plenty of power supplies, have to get a new motherboard. I even had the clock speed on the GPU's clocked at 1000. Oh well, gives me an excuse to get better cards in a month or so. Until then, get a new MB and put the 280s back in.
>I know, but funny thing, I have ran 3 280x's on that system for years with non powered risers and have never had a problem. These draw less power but fried the board. Powered risers (and a new motherboard) or on the way. I'll wait to see what comes out with the 2nd gen of the 480s

ANOTHER LOYAL AMD USER BURNED!!!
Its probably a shitty AMD processor. I doubt the 480 overvolts that much.

The reported issue with the 480 literally could not cause the 24-pin connector to fry like that. That's not how motherboards work.
Shitty motherboard and/or psu

this
That user is probably some curry nigger who ran his system on a shitty no-name 800w psu long enough to believe it's decent. Now he's trying to blame the video card.
>>55373277
L-LIEES!!! DELETE THIS!
>>55373277
This retard was using passive risers. No wonder he fried his motherboard. Seems like a lot of absolute morons are going to get a new motherboard out of this non-issue by blaming their own stupidity on AMD.
>>55373277
Lol
The 480 claims another victim
Somehow amd managed to make 480 a greater disaster than fermi.
>480
we should have seen it coming
>>55373277
Anyone buying reference cards deserve it.

>>55373277
Those pins are 3.3v and a COM, 12V is at the other end.

who is this madman?
>>55373571
PCIE is 3.3v too

Yes, but all the measures of the RX480 have shown that it draws well under the max for 3.3v by the PCI-e spec.
>>55373277
>>55373321
A current overdraw by the PCI-E slot could've caused one of the power regulation components to fail, essentially frying the 3.3v rail.
The card wasn't conforming to the PCI-E spec in regards to power, so this kind of thing isn't totally out of the question.
>>55373611
From tomshardware the highest draw on mainboard 3.3v was 7W and the max under spec is 10W, so no problems there.

fermi truly knows no bounds
