hello,
Just got two amd r9 280x in crossfire recently. one model thats two years old and another that is straight from the factory new. My first question is if I should use the newer card as my first GPU and the old as the second. The new has some visibly different copper heat pipes that may give it an advantage in cooling.
Second question: the bridge I am using fits like a champ, it's a simple part but I read from other guides to not plug the bridge on completely but instead to plug them in nearly 96% in. Is this a rumor or should i crack open the case and do so? relating to the crossfire bridge should i use two bridges? A similar guide suggested doing so. I have an extra lying around so i could.
Third question: In MSI afterburner it states that GPU 2 is getting roughly 65% of the load whilst GPU one is bearing 0%. Does this mean crossfire isn't working or is this normal? additionally the clock speeds are varying so this may mean it is working. Again, it's my first time cross firing so I'm no expert.
