when back from RMA my R9 390
they didnt return my card, but give credit as return (not cash)
they said my card end of life aldy. idk what that mean.
the credit is 1.4k, which the price i paid dulu,
but current 390 price is 1.5-.1.6k, need topup to get gpu

when will polaris release?
feel like rugi topup for older card

Nano is about RM2700. Same price as a Fury.
I wanna buy Nano, but after reading all the reviews, it seems Nano is unable to reach its 1000 MHz at stock setting. It's designed to be throttled to maintain the TDP, which is stupid. And the hot temperature here is making it worse. The next logical choice is the Fury, although with a huge increase in card size and power.

Many years ago , RM600 can buy u a decent, overclock champion, rock stable board. Now, a mid range Z170 board is about RM900. Asrock is the exception here with its OC Formula which is RM800 cheaper than Asus best board.
But still, the price of computer has increased.

Has AMD stated when exactly Polaris is launching?

No word on Pascal as well, but there is a surge of used Maxwells being sold in Garage Sales

390 EOL? It's not even 1 year old. Is that from MSI or from retailer?

Nano around RM2.5k now right?

Rumor around June/July for Polaris and May/June for Pascal.

25xx.
I haven't seen 24xx yet.
How's Nano fan noise while gaming?

viewnet at lowyat plaza,
rma through supplier they said.
july or june??
well need to puasa from gaming lah like this

What's wrong with your 390? I seldom online so I don't read much

overheated, reach abt 95 Celcius without overclock on BF4 and Battlefront.
+1 fan not operate, even on high load.

Have you tried updating the vBIOS? Since you already returned the card the question is unnecessary but if I were you I try few other things rather than returning the card like undervolt via Afterburner, underclock the card, repaste, editing the vBIOS and such.

but 1 fan only operate during highload, other 1 not spinning, even if i push it.
that's why i send it for warranty then, they give me return credit.
they said my card EOL aldy.....

It's TwinFrozr V design. I used to have MSI GTX 970 Gaming card with similar TwinForzr V design, one of the fan with stickers on it when you bought brand new are prone to not work on some batches, and it's fixable via vBIOS update. It's highly unlikely it's EOL, RMA in Malaysia is full of crap. But since you already got the credit it's better for you to buy other 390 brands like Sapphire Nitro. Nano is expensive in Malaysia, you can get less than 2K if you buy from Amazon though. Polaris is from what I read is just a midrange chips with GDDR5. It would need another few months before we get a proper high end with HBM2. I won't hold my breath on it if you want to play games now.

Even if the card EOL usually they will replace it with a similar or slightly higher tier of card right? Or that's not how they do business in Bolehland?

that's what i told them, they should give replacement even not same model.
now the credit they gave me less than my GPU price (current market price)
need to topup to get replaced, walawehhh rugi me la
bolehland? what is that?

need to boikot this distro... name and shame plz!

They should replace with similar card or refurbished card. Even if the thing is EOL, warranty still warranty. This is either the shop or the supplier/distro lazy to send back to MSI, related to $$$ shipping I suspected. Bohongla MSI don't have refurbished 390 cards.

Boikot the shop.

That's more or less the same temperature on my ASUS STRIX R9 390 when playing games
Then I proceeded to remove the stock thermal paste (ASUS use too much!) then replace it with Arctic MX4, temperature drops 8°C. From 98°C to 90°C

Note: ASUS Malaysia allows doing these on their graphic cards (as long as there are no physical damage):
1. Change thermal paste
2. Change to better heatsink
3. Use liquid cooling

On high load, all 3 fans spins just fine but the temperatures is still at 90°C on load
Hence the reason why I change to PowerColor Devil R9 390X with it's AIO liquid cooler
Now my load temperature never exceeds 70°C. Idle at 42°C. No air-cond in the room

I guess air-cooling is not suitable for R9 390 & 390X
Especially with the current hot weather in Malaysia

i do wanted to do closed watercool, but since my fan failure,
thats why i send for warranty, now it is too late, no card on me.
what to buy with this 1.4k credit... if cash, can easily buy 2hand
cant even buyback 390, 970 wayy pricy than 390

update:
just recently call the distro/supplier
they said that MSI who ask them to give credit to buy new one.
MSI cant find any replace, no sparepart to repair they said.
idk if it is true, or bohong all the way

how is the new drivers bro ? have u test it ?

Yeah that what i expect or at least give option to change to other similar tier card. I read good rep about MSI warranty around the world where they offered few options or simply give a free upgrades. like 280x to 390.

This "credit" can only be use for Viewnet or can use on any MSI product?

Only play Dota 2.. No time yet.
Somehow 30fps fluid motion did not work. Only 24fps available.
