Right, so I was having trouble getting the system to boot from CD, so I changed the BIOS settings to have it as just the cd as a boot option. Installed Linux and restarted. With the obvious intention of going to the bios to switch the HDD back to primary boot option. But I can't get in to the...

So, essentially the power supplies must be linked? What is the reason for this? My assumption was that as the data cables were still connected as they should be, where the power came from was irrelevant (I am basing this on nothing but my own trail of thought). Can the components detect the...

You could also consider waiting a few months and choosing Zen 2 (Ryzen 3rd gen). Early performance specifications indicate that it is outperforming most all aspects of the equivalent Intel CPUs and pair it with an AMD Vega 56 8GB, which is significantly better than a GTX 1060 6GB and actually a...

I have a Dell Inspiron 5675 that came with a 460W PSU installed. Now, this is enough to run my current setup; Ryzen 3 1200 (Going to upgrade when Zen 2 [Ryzen 3rd gen arrives]) RX 580 8GB (No overclock) 8GB DDR4 2400 MHz (soon to change to two 16GB 2666 Mhz) HDD 1TB M.2 NVMe 256 GB (have a...

Therin laid my confusion. Over all benchamark of th Vega 8 was 63 and 660ti was 66, which seemed a negligable difference. I aiomatically assumed that the 660 being four generstions older hand than the 10** series that a comparison there may be way out. Guess i should research a lot more before...

I have had the 660ti so long and it is so old, i assumed new get would be a deciding factor. plus finding ryzens iGPU full specs prooved difficult. I only ever read about those dream cards we all wish we could afford as mine function perfect fine

It confused the bejeesus out of me and could not fathom how it could be better, but benchmarks. Jeeze, they can make anything good on paper. Cheers pal.

Is it worth me putting my Gigabyte GTX 660 to Wiindforce in with a Ryzen 3 2200G, or should i just put up with the Vega 8 and just flop the 660, putting the money towards a better dedicated GPU as and when i can afford to do so? I cant get clear specs anywhere for the Vega, nor can i get a...

Well the 580 does not use AMDs most recent architecture (polaris: superceeded by vega). While the 1060 does use Nvidias most recent (pascal). This alone give better support around the board for the 1060. They both have their own sync alignment tech (freesync: AMD. G-Sync: Nvidia) both of which...

Turned out to be the motherboard, so i replaced it and got it to post... For one day, then. Back to the same issue again. Psu tested correct with vvoltmeter by the way (as did everything else). Something has to be causing this issue. Two motherboards with the same undiagnosable issue in a row...

And no, the Gpu was not in the computer when it went to the show

I am sure i can borrow one from work and i know you to use it. Ill try and get a hold of one in the morning

Both systems use the same PSU. 700w Kolink (585w from 12v rails and 48.75a), also, the pc went to a repair shop two weeks ago as it would not post at all (turns out the mainboard was broke) and he tested all the componants to figure out thr issue

Sorry i read your reply backwards (try another card in this machine). I tried it in thr one the 1060 came from and it was fine. The card came as refurbished, but yes. I will clean the connectors next, what is heating it going to do? Incsse any joints have de-soldered? My Psu have 4 6 pin...

The 1060 from my machine works fine, sorry forgot to mention that.
