Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8Gb OC

Seller Note “Works for 5 to 10 mins then black screen”

Summary

  • Handsome looking card, but seems quite juicy with 2 x 8 pins!
  • The behaviour is in keeping with the seller note, loads into windows and will even benchmark for a good few minutes, but then a black screen.
  • There is a slight rubbing noise coming from the center fan, this could be a factor, have seen reviews indicating quite high temperatures.
  • Need to strip the card down and inspect it.
