Quote:So, there is a bug with the new Crimson drivers that AMD released (not beta, final release) that lock your GPU fan speed and because of this, many users have reported playing for extended periods of time with their fans locked to 20%.
Others, like me, got their GPU burned, in my case it didn't even reboot the PC, it just crashed the screen graphics (orange bars) and I had to manually turn off the computer. When I opened the case the GPU was so hot I couldn't even remove it from the PCI-e and had to wait until it was cool enough.
So now we have no word from AMD so far, and they haven't pushed a fix for their drivers yet, so it keeps happening to other people.
I have to admit I'm really sad that I lost my card and my money, because I have no warranty anymore and it seems it's gone forever, I'm not sure I can trust AMD after this
EDIT: My card is a R9 280X and the posts are available still on the frontpage of the amd subreddit

Quote:So, after installing the drivers and playing around 30-45 min of CS:GO my computer turned off and the GPU is burnt (tried a different GPU and it booted normally)
What can I do to protest against this? A new driver comes out and allows my GPU to get to 95º and just break? What the hell amd?
