Need help deciding on 2 components for new pc build

Yeah mine comes set at 134, too.
 


I was figuring that I'd have it today, as it's been in Orlando since 1:00 A.M. Sunday. It didn't come today, so I quess it will be here tomorrow. Busy day as I get to do that and my fan tomorrow, put these 2 760's back in my old pc and then update this one, after I install the Crimson driver and Sapphire TRiXX.
Then I get to reset all my games to higher settings.
 


When the crimsons are on, make sure power efficiency in Gaming>global is turned off. Isn't needed for anyone with a AIB card.
 


OK, Thanks.When you go to overclock your card, download & use Sapphire Trixx. It has a lot more in it than MSI Afterburner does. It works on the XFX RX 480's. A video I watched on TriXX the guy had a XFX RX 480 and it worked. I don't have the video's link, as I just download them. The video is called Overclocking RX 400 Series with Sapphire TriXX 6.1 (RX 460, RX 470, RX 480).
 


Now don't laugh but I'm doing it all through Wattman in the Radeon settings. I'll give Trixx ago. I'm controlling the gpu fans via speedfan. Give me way more control than the overclocking apps.
 


From what I've heard AMD Wattman doesn't give you access to memory overclocking. TriXX does. It also can test your cards fans to make sure they're ok. From what I've seen it has a lot in it. It has stuff like what GPU-z does, built in too.
 


Received my video card & so far it doesn't work. Only thing that appears to work on it is it's rgb lighting. I tried it with my new monitor and I'm not getting anything to it with it's hdmi cable. I tried my old ViewSonic monitor and I'm not getting anything with it's dvi cable.
This is also weird, now my watercooler fans aren't spinning either.
I'm on my old pc now and it's funny how my LG monitor's hdmi cable works fine with my old GTX 760's on it.
My assumption is I received a defective Sapphire NITRO+ RX 480 OC 8GB video card from Newegg. I'll have to rma it back to Newegg, which I won't habe the money for until next month.
 


I have absolutely no need to overclock at this point apart from seeing how the system runs. I'll wait to get better CPU cooling before going down that road as my current solution is fine for stock use but not ideal for higher clock speeds.

Damn! Sorry to hear about this Keith.
 


Yeah, to say I'm pissed off would be a understatement right now. The only thing that works on the card is it's rgb lighting. It's a shame it's a nice looking video card.
I already have my rma number from Newegg.
Atleast, I have everything on my old pc updated now.
As, it's what I'll be using until my new video card comes.
I even ruled out my psu cabling on the video card, as my psu has numerous video card cables. At first, I just unplugged and removed the cable that my 2nd GTX 760 used.
Then, I removed the top video card cable, as I was using a cable that had both 6+2 and 8 on one cable.
I then put in a 6+2 cable and hooked it in where it goes on the psu. RGB lighting still worked, but neither monitor got anything trying each separately.
HDMI ports on the video card feel loose. Both feel very loose.
I'm gonna try some more on the new pc later today, as I don't get why my four Arctic fans for my Arctic Liquid Freezer 240 weren't spinning. It's cables are hooked to the cpu & cpu optional header.
I'll mess with it later this afternoon, as I have to go to the hospital's lab this morning to turn in a 24 hour urine test for my kidneys and get a second container for my 2nd 24 hour urine test. That container got ruined thanks to the loss of electricity from the hurricane.
 


Atleast my old pc now has Anniversary Update and Bitdefender Internet Security 2017 on it now.
Anniversary Update took forever. Close to a hour.
 


No, not yet. This pc will get a clean install when it's ready to be sold.
 


Keith my card did that. Double check the seating on the board and try another 8pin pcie if you can

I did the different PCIe cables already. Card is seated, that was the first thing I checked. First time Tuesday when I got it, it missed the slot. The rgb lights wouldn't even work. I reseated it and the rgb lights worked.
I just messed with it some more. I need to unhook this pc and then try and see if it works now.
 


I got it working. I should've read the back of the card. I was plugging the monitor's hdmi cable into the display port. Apparently Sapphire changed the cards rear layout for the display port and hdmi connectors.
Hospital's lab will be tomorrow. I'm playing with my new video card today.
 


We shall never mention the wrong cable in the wrong port again. ;)
