Hi,

I have faced issues after upgrading/updating to the blockchain driver. I am suspecting 1 of my gpus might be bricked.

I have 4x identical powercolor rx 580 8gbs, they were running around 64C+- degrees. After the blockchain driver one of the gpus started functioning unstable.

After trying many things I have realized that power draw of this card is lowering down to 80w sometimes 40w and back to 110w as it should be. so the graph is up and down all the way. Normally gpu only power draw for each card is 110w, as the others run and draw constantly.

So there is something wrong with this cards, heat is higher than the others, power draw is unstable and it causes watchdog gpu hang error.

What do you guys think might be the issue with this card?

I have the same issue with a MSI Gaming X 4G. It heats up too quickly and the fan does not ramp it up. Afterburner beta will control it only when it is open but it crashed the computer after a few minutes. Wattman crashes after 20 minutes. I haven't tried claymore controlling the fan yet.
The only way to make it work is put a big fan in front of it so the fan doesn't do anything.
If anyone has ideas I'm open to trying.
