HD4850 and Furmark

TheMailMan78 · May 24, 2009, 07:08 AM

Ok I was just running Furmark stability test and after about 300 seconds and 90 degrees the screen froze and an LED lit up on the back of my 4850 which is my slave card in crossfire. What the hell just happened. Overheat?

red LED on the card should be power.

Then again, furmark doesnt like me in crossfire either - mine blanks out to a white screen.

LED means not enough power? Really?

if you boot the PC without power connected, the red LED starts up.

its known that the 48x0 cards have issues with furmark, so dont leap to any conclusions just yet.

Ah ok. Thanks

Its now 3am and I'm half a bottle of whiskey in. Red LEDs scare me.

we both have crossfire 4 series cards, we both have the same PSU, and we both have problems with furmark.

i vote we blame furmark until you're sober enough to test more.

I'll give FurMark a go when I get my loop installed....my second cards (HIS' shitty "Fan" model) VRM's get to 104'C with the stock air cooler when I run it in Benchmark mode, far too hot for my liking.

Edit: My other card, a ref design XFX with the stock ATI cooler, runs at 98'C on the VRM's...shitty aftermarket coolers designed by idiots shoudnt be put on cards. :shaedshu

Take note, HIS!
