GPU upgrade

Recommended Posts

Trying to install it now. Getting the message, "please power down and connect the PCIe power cable(s) for this graphics card." I'm using the 6 to 8 pin adapter. I've tried both the left and right side power slots on the card. Hmmmm.? Advice anyone?

I think you need to ensure 150 watts are bring pulled through, 6 pins usually do 75 watts. The adapter should have done that for you but I'm not sure.

Hmm.... I'll try a few more things then I've got to hit the sack. Worked 1st and 3rd shift yesterday. Just got home and need some sleep. I'll get it figured out but all advice is welcome! Thanks again, Phil.

It should still work with a 500w PSU, unless your CPU is a beast and hogging all the power.

 

I've whatsapped @Diddums in case he knows more on the subject!

Cool. I can pick up another 6 -> 8 pin adapter if I need to. I'll hold off on anything until Dave has a chance to give his thoughts as well.

I'm going camping this weekend, so no rush. :)

Thanks.

All of those sockets need to be populated so grab another adapter. That PSU should be more than man enough for this load profile, if anything's gonna kill it, it'll be old age. 

 

It's what... 6 years old now?

 

Also you guys are both awesome, reminded me why we keep you around :D

I ordered an adapter on Amazon. Should be here early next week.

Hmmm... at least 6 years, maybe more. It's still awesome. I've added some fans, SSD, an extra HD, and a card reader. But everything is still rocking! I'm still incredibly grateful!
