Update: I changed my motherboard out from a ASRock X470 K4 to the MSI X570 Gaming+, and now the system is running smoothly.

Completely removing Adrenalin 19.7.1 using DDU fixes the stability issues- had to do it through Windows Safe mode as normal mode won't stay stable long enough. Installed 19.6.2- but that doesn't support the new Navi 5700XT. However, it does work if I plug in my old 290X.

just got off the phone with AMD support- it looks like it's a known issue and they're working on a fix... They said a few more days

CPU: Ryzen 3700X (running at stock clock) MB: ASRock X470 Fatality Gaming K4 RAM: Patriot Viper DDR4 3000 2x16GB. (Currently XMP disabled, running at 2133) NVME: XPG SX8200 Pro Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX 5700XT PSU: Seasonic Focus 850W OS: Windows 10 Pro x64 Adrenalin: 19.7.1 (7/7)

Anyone else experiencing this? I just got the 5700XT and the Ryzen 3700X today (ASRock X470 Gaming 7 MB). Installed Windows 10 Pro x64 on it, and then went to install graphics drivers (Adrenaline 7/7 release). The first time around, the computer crashed halfway through the install and became...

haha, the funny part is the Sapphire has a higher ASIC score than the Diamond: 76.1% > 71.9%

I have 2x 290X's in crossfire, drawing very different levels of power under load for the same clock speed. Both cards are cooled by AIOs and a Corsair HG10. Primary Card: Diamond 290X (reference)- 198W Second Card: Sapphire 290X (reference)- 246W It's somewhat concerning because of the VRAM...

Moving the H80 to exhaust dropped the VRM1 temps of Card 1 by about 10 degrees. One of the cards is drawing more power than the other despite being both 290X references at the same clock (1066Mhz, +10% power draw). 250W vs 198W

Right now I just have the fan blowing over the HG10, no additional heatsinks taped on. I think I'm choking my case with hot air by putting the rads of the H80i/H60 on the intake. I took off the front panel of my case (NZXT H440) and noticed a 4 degree drop in idle temps for card 1. About a 10...

Looks like most of these games, if I turn off AA, it drastically improves performance. Are crossfire profiles just incompatible with AA? Also looks like I'll try to reseat card 1's HG10, VRM1 hit 127 after 30 minutes of Crysis 3 (card 2 VRM1 was 95)

Thanks! reason I ask is because in several games: BF4, Crysis 3, Witcher 3, and DA:I, I'm getting much lower than expected frame rates. Playing at 3440x1440 (LG Freesync monitor), trying to used maxed out settings. BF4 is giving me 40-50FPS, Crysis 3 is averaging 35, Witcher 3 is averaging...

I just got a second R9 290X with a HG10-A1/H60 AIO to set up crossfire. My original 290X is on a HG10-A1 with a H80i. Both H60 and H80i are in push/pull configuration with 2x Cougar Vortex 120mm fans (intake of case). Card 1: 290X / H60 Card 2: 290X / H80i What I'm noticing is a large...

I've found that MSI command center has the ability to override what you've set in BIOS. Also check to make sure your voltage settings are on manual instead of adaptive

No airflow issues here w the h440. Just make sure you swap out the intake fans with some high static pressure fans like the cougar vortex and you're gtg. Cable management is a snap, and it looks amazing. If silence is for you, I'd say the case is average for a silent build case.

I had a similar problem a few years back. Turned out I dropped a screw behind the MB and it was grounding or shorting. Tore my hair out trying to fix it
