When you first revealed the "3-phase" aspect of the card, I was getting very worried, but I was glad and their design decision ultimately turned into something solid. XFX has been very mindful of their quality, and I'd hate if they let their diligence slide. Ever since I bought my R9 280X, I am been paying close attention to how the various companies acquire/make their products and where they make their cuts, if any. I love videos like this, since they help me become a more informed consumer.
Well, over a year and this video gave me a few clues to fix constant crashes on a brand new card. I had already bricked it screwing with the Bios but didn't know about the switch until watching.
@@CatSovietski super bad card man i cant even play cyberpunk or total war warhammer 3 without the stupid temps going 88 but i got it reduce to 80 - 75 with the fan curve =_=
has that daddy voice still looks rather young, which im jealous of.. but he'll look 22 when he's 50, and im even more jealous of that lol xP but rly. total daddy material on top of being a certified geek. it doesn't get much better unless.. we overclock.. buildzoid.. --- WE KNOW YOU READ THIS BTW HI
Just bought a broken "quickly tested, no display" card of this exact model. Here's hoping I don't need to dig this deep, but if I do, thanks for posting this!
Just bought this video card based on your review for $160usd shipped. Don't play a lot of games so this should do the job for me just fine. Thanks for sharing.
I have this card about 6 months(got it for about 280 eur--the cheapest 8gb model at Greece at that time). It failed after some overclocking + undervolting, and I got another one from RMA(I waited about 1 month due to mining craze for it) . Now I have it watercooled with an BitsPower block, and i have no problems whatsoever, but i have not been lucky with both of the cards, since i could not get past 1430 Mhz on the core and 2200 on the memory. Its stock cooler is quite beefy, just to keep in mind.
i hope you can help me and answer my qustion i have rx480 nitro+ and i noticed that the thermal pads are leaking tons of oil is it dangerous? + i also have powercolor hd7970 vortex2 that i can take a pcb photo
Loved the description! My VRMs started smoking the other day and got burned. Turns out there was a short on the card. Where can I get replacement VRM power stage chips? Thanks so much in advance!
You should, with the part number, be able to Google it. A lot of the components on a PCB are massed produced and sold by a variety or electronic component retailers, usually for very cheap.
I'm having issues with error 43 in device manager even after bios reflash and no disp on a card I bought to repair . Gpu gets hot stupid quick . Any suggestions on where to start with diag?
Have that card. Quite impressed. Unfortunately either it has a poor paste or sth. Cause at stock freq reaches 70-75C at some 50%fan, which is not great. Can reach 1500 but 100% fan isn't bearable ;p
xfx is actualy really cool about customers opening their cards. my fans went out on mine and they sent me a hwole new heat sink with the new fans attached for free
Please HELP, I have an XFX RX 480 8GB and APW8713 on Display Rail is not generating POK so there is not EN on the PWM (NCP81022) so no Vcore. I measured resistance and everything seems to be OK, also All voltages are good but Vcore is not present. what can I do? all voltages on APW8713 (EN, VIN, VCC) are also present but still no POK, chip is not overheating. Should I just replace APW8713? or is something else I could try?? I dont have replacement
This saved me, I had 6 ofthese new, and I had just closed the phone to negotiate buying used Powercolor RX480 8GB Red Devil, thinking the Red Devil is the higher grade RX x80 from Powercolor, looking at the massive heatsing and 3 FANS, and the price was good, so I was like RX480 is same almost as 580, and when it is 8GB ver, it runs mem at 2000Mhz. I saw this, and I said, I will buy this XFX, as I already had 6, and I just found out that even warmer than Gaming X, they don't mind the 60C I am mining ETH at, these components will hold long time I think. Then I found same XFX and bought 5 more. So glad I saw this video. It saved me from the Powercolor 480 Red Devil, I jsut searched some info before buying them next day:) Thanks
Hi guys. I know its old video but probably here is at least one that can help me. I have stupid question. Can reducing VDDCi voltage damage GPU? I have noticed that reducing memory voltage, doesn't make any difference on power draw on my mining rig from wall outlet, but reducing VDDCi, reduce power consumption. Thank you for help.
Hi. I have one XFX RX 580 8gb and all 10 blue capacitors beside Vcore are bumped and i want to replace them. Can you tell me exactly what kind of capacitors they are to can find and order? And if you know a shop in Uk where i can order i will be grateful. Thanks Bobby
On the IC ncp81022 I have 0 ohms between pin VCC and VSS (pin 51, 52). Could it be an internal short in the IC, or rather in the capacitors. How can I find it out? PS: very good video!
Ok so im new to this kind of stuff (vcore, vrms, phase splitting and doubling and stuff like that). Do you have a video explaining this stuff? I really want to expand my knowledge
Hello man . I got an rx470 and I got this message when I try to start in hive os: UVD is not responding, trying to reset VCPU. What mean this?:) Tnx a lot
I facing issues with the RX580 reset bug using PCIE passtrought virtualization. Do you think that is safe (hardware) to switch on/off(MOSFET, cold reset) the 12V power on GPU while the PC is on? I'm using a Sapphire RX-580 nitro+ 8G
Ive got a XFX RX 580, the seller told me it always worked fine and suddenly stopped working, after removing the cooler i saw that at VCore 6 the FDMF 3035 chip was removed with force. Also the same for VCore 3. Is this graphics card completely destroyed like that or is it still fixable? Like bypassing those 2 blocks of VCores?
Man Please i need Your Help.(sorry about my english) .I have the exact gpu card . It had A short circuit Problem .The Bad Repair Store i took it to :by accident BURN THE: FDMF 3035 N°: 05.... any chance to replace it and repair my gpu?
Using this card in my video editing workstation. Started noticing coil whine in it. Question is, can it kill the gpu? Not that I mind it, but I'm concerned about the life of the card.
@@will891410 so that means XFX isn't reliable. I am really confused as some people have given really positive reviews while others giving completely negative reviews.
Just bought one of these, stock clock and the GPU runs at 90c at any game and it shuts down after a couple of minutes in FurMark. Same thing happened to my buddy's RX 570, really crappy heatsink and quality control.
No they didn't. lol XFX's GTR/GTS names are derived from motor sports. GTR means Gran Turismo Racing, while S stands for... Probably sports? It is kinda dumb and pointless (PC components have nothing to do with motor sports lol), but eh, MSI's Carbon motherboards and some Biostar motherboards are also racing themed ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
this card is shit xfx r580 dont buy cant stream and play at the same time and some times just shut down while playing always saying a problem with mantel i had r9 270 and it did fine im done with amd cards going with the green guys asap
