Hello!
I got above mentioned GPU. Took off original cooler and put EKWB cooling block for watercooling. Everything worked fine until one day... 🙂
Please read carefully.
I bought one more exactly the same GPU but allegedly defect (3rd fan right not working was sellers defect description). I dismanteled the cooling block (from defect one) off and put the cooling block from first GPU with assumption that this will fix the fan problem but problem was not fan on this defect GPU but one of the memory was dead, but in idle and in OS worked fine. When put on graphics task program crashed with error on GPU. In this case I sold this defect GPU with cooling block of the first GPU that was completely fine.
Afterwards, bought 2080ti and then RX5700XT is now spare GPU, but only with EKWB cooling block and cooling block of the defect RX5700XT I sold. Ofcourse it's easier to sell the GPU with fan cooled block than with water cooled block. But I got now good GPU with fan cooled block with 1 fan dead. I ordered from Ebay spare one that look identical as original one. It fits 100% but....
The fans are not spining as they should, they are always on 50% and I tried to manually set but no success... With PCB is everything fine, my assumption is that the connector of the spare ordered fan from ebay is wrongly set and now I need advice how to set the pins on connector so the fans can spin properly recording the GPU temperature. In Fan Control software the RPM of the GPU fan is not available.
In attach of this post i'm sending you the picture of the connectors. On the right side is faulty (original) fan and on the left side is ebay spare fan.
Thanks for your reply and sorry if I complicated too much.... I hope I described the problem with good explanation.
