I5 3470, rx480, 8gb ddr3 1600mhz, asrock h67 motherboard.
I trusted you /g/ ;_;
Is my computer dying?
never buy asrock,they are dog shit
>>55447831
>bought on launch
found your problem
>asrock
here is the problem
>>55447831
Performance issues would likely be driver overhead on your older cpu, and not posting means your mainboard is probably dying.
It's to be expected, really. Asrock is a cheap, budget, brand and the 480 pulls above spec power. Especially when you boot up and it's under 100% load.
Heavens forbid you overclock that 480
>>55447831
Don't most "shill review sites" use top of the line hardware like octocore Intel or majorly overclocked i7-6700k with 32gb of ram?
>>55447902
I had an asrock motherboard that wouldn't let me put more than 2gb of memory in it, i kept waiting for a bios update.
after awhile they just removed it from the support list and pretended like it never existed
>>55447831
make like an asrock motherboard and stop posting
well i had a z68 asroxk motherboard that still works perfectly from launch running a nice OC so fuck the 'Repubic of Gamers(c)' shills
>>55447932
Yeah, that's why I mentioned the driver overhead. Review sites conveniently ignore that and people buy AMD expecting better than what they'll really get
See
http://youtu.be/plC7tOYIqBw?t=3510
>>55447985
High end asrock shit is actually pretty good though. I tend to stick with gigabyte usually
>>55447987
Well, I don't know about "driver overhead" but just plain expecting to get similar results to benchmarks done with tier 1 hardware while using tier 3 hardware is simply ludicrous.
>>55448030
I actually get better results than reviews did for many games for my gtx670 and I'm still on an i7 870. Games get performance patches and drivers get updates.

You got the better results on launch day? My shenanigans meters is going off the chart.
>>55447985
>Anyone who doesn't like Asrock must be an Asus fanboy
Ignoring that they're the same company, that's a bit of a false duality. I'm going to do something generally frowned upon here, I'm going to make a car analogy.
Asrock are like Skoda. They're the budget arm of Volkswagen and you're getting more or less the same thing but the plastic may or may not fall off after ten years.
>>55448075
I never buy on launch day

Brand loyalty is idiotic, look at each boards for what it is instead of blindly making blanket statements. Gigabyte has been guilty of making some shit in the past and Asrock have had their moments of pure divinity. There are places far more clued in than /g/, where people actually discuss power regulation and such things. You'll find them on the interwebs.
>>55448119

As long as you don't use the Windows programs they put on the disc you get with a mobo, they're perfect. The programs always have a chance of crashing and corrupting the bios and possibly your os too. Speaking from experience btw.

What, you mean the backblaze failure rates which were widely denounced as completely irrelevant in the real world? The failure rates that had /g/ declare all Seagate drives as shit because brand loyalty? What does that have to do with anything?
If you want real, reliable figures, then you need to go look at return rates, not failure rates of storage drives being tortured as if they were enterprise drives. Western Digital had a similar problem with their first green drives because idiots were using them for their OS. That doesn't make every single WD or even every green drive shit. Hell, even the infamous deathstar got the name from one specific model. The rest were fine.

Take your pcie temp. Is your motherboard on fire? Remember - if you have an issue it's your cheap board not built to handle out of spec use. 480 great price performance tho.
Your motherboard has been POO'd. Why would you buy the reference model anyway?
>>55448429
>What is wrong with that statement
Nothing except for the small problem of it being a sweeping generalisation with little room for nuance. At best pic related, at worst you're contributing to muppets buying brands for the sake of brand loyalty.
>>55448452
They are misrepresenting an official statement, on a level that needs nothing more than the most basic reading comprehension.

Kill yourself.
Seriously.
You're limiting the card to PCI-E 2.0 on what was designed to be a budget series of chipsets.
Should have fucking gotten a Z68 at least. They weren't even that much more expensive.
Also, don't stick enthusiast grade parts into a budget build. You're going to have the same issues with a 1080 or 1070 too. Disappointing performance, issues with reliability, and a bad time.
>>55447831
it's because you only have an i5 3470 and are actually using your machine with other things in the background.
while reviewers have a 6700k and nothing else running in the background.
you can thank amd's terrible drivers.
>>55450452
>enthusiast grade parts
Wait, the 480 is now an enthusiast part? I thought it was supposed to be budget?
The irony of a budget card that doesn't work with budget motherboards is hilarious.
>>55450509
For all we know OP didn't seat the card all the way. Or he's nvidia sutema. Who knows.
The point is that it takes more than a few forum posts to know what's going on.

Yes and they measured the data pins too like idiots.

His cpu is fine, it's AMD drivers that are not fine. Ivy bridge is still fast enough if you stay away from AMD graphics cards
>>55450199
they used to be, though.
Is this something that only affected some cards? I have no way to measure how much power my PCI-E slot is using but my performance has been right around my brothers 970 which is what I expected. Is it just because I have a quality motherboard that I'm not having any problems?
>>55452591
You'll only suffer on budget boards. Better quality ones can take the punishment from the rx480
>>55452591
It affects all cards, but if your motherboard is good you won't notice much.
However over time it could damage your pcie slot until it stops working.
>>55452627
So I shouldn't have to worry about anything while AMD is busy moving the power to the 6pin cable side of things?
I don't really play anything except Stellaris and Civ V.

Return card, RMA mobo, buy Nvidia card?
I've got maybe 5 asus motherboards since socket 939. 2 for me, 1 for a htpc forever ago, 1 for friend.
3 of the 5 always gave me massive troubles.
2 flat out didn't work form the factory.
Current one is finicky as hell, but at least it runs.
First 2 that failed got replaced with gigabyte boards.
I've also had ATI/amd cards since 939 too.
Still got my x1950 with an artic cooling cooler on it sitting on a shelf.
Had a 5850 that mysteriously died one day for no reason, I have tested almost every single component individually on the board, and I never could figure out what was wrong with it.
And now I'm having driver issues with my 7950, as well as some program compatibility issues.. As well as every other AMD card on Win7 as of the past driver update or two. I've never had ATi/AMD driver issues until now. Which is funny considering how theyve always said amd has shit drivers.
Haven't had a nvidia card since a geforce 4 mx400. (for no particular reason, I always buy whats the best for what money i have.)
Next card is going to be a 1080 or a 1070 though. AMD's gone downhill.
No new cpus since AM3, unless you count that fm2 bullshit.
And now the videocards have just gone downhill too far.
>>55452704
The card is shit even without the blown up power draw issues. Its just a marketing tactic that is well deserved against AMD's insidious red rebellion meme shit.
>>55447878

>>55452745
what happened to asrock, did they have some bad press recently?
it used to be one the favorite brands for mobos here at /g/ not even 2 years ago. I got a almost unanimous recommention for one back then, with just a few anons stating their preference for gigabyte but not really antagonizing the general rec.
>>55452776
>the card is shit even if it isn't. because I'll tell you guise.
You don't even need to waste the time to type tripfag anon. Just put some reticences and anyone who have been on /g/ recently will recognize that you're shitposting against anything manufactured by or that carries AMD's components.
>>55452904
I don't know man.
It's a good brand, a solid motherboard.
And for fuck's sake, there is literally no difference between motherboards.
Colors change, layouts, and that's it.
If you buy an X99 ASUS, you can get pretty much the same with ASRock. Unless you want to overclock with liquid nitrogen, it does not really matter.
>>55452904
ASRock is actually really good
I would rate them higher than MSI and Asus
>>55453060
Definitely higher than Asus, they've fallen a lot.
Asrock has some solid motherboards.
I got a 290x and an ASRock Z87 PRO4 mobo and it's not giving me any problems.
Maybe you need to learn how to set up your computer better?
>>55453097
He could start by removing everything AMD for a start
>>55453068

You DO NOT have the same specs as the review sites, why the hell did you expect the same when the specs are NOT the same?
>>mfw this morning my computer refused to post but then magically started working again a after rebooting a bunch of times
Because IF YOU HAVE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION you would know that the 480 draws more than the specified 75w from the motherboard, and seeing as you have an old asrock non-high-end motherboard, its obvious it will shit itself.
BUT just wait until AMD releases the new compatibility drivers either today or tomorrow. Install them and enable "compatibility mode".
>>55453141
that wasn't a joke but you wouldn't get it either way.
>>55453131
Built my first computer 4 years ago, bought a used i7 870+gigabyte mainboard.
It's been overclocked to 4.1ghz since then and still going strong.
Got a windforce gtx 670 still running everything fine on high.
Their graphics cards never pull more than 50w from the pcie slot either from what I've seen in reviews so they still look like a solid brand.
Will buy them again for my upgrade.
>>55453180
Serious question, why do reviewers always use unreasonable specs like 5960x or 6700k?
>>55453221

My two favorite mobo brands:
1. Gigabyte
2. ASRock
>>55453249
Bottlenecks?
For cards like the gtx 960/950? R7 370?
That's fucking bullshit. No one will buy an i7 to pair it with an rx480 or r9 380. Half of them are probably paired with an i3.
My friend has a gtx660 with an i3 4170. That's what most people would have. rx480+i5 6500/6400/i3 6100
