    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    I did not consider that it would draw power from the motherboard. That does explain why the fans would be running. I haven't hardware in many years. At my job tech handle hardware and admins are software and server. I just hope there aren't any other problems and the GPU is all. Whe. I...

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    I called them right when they opened so I am giving them time but they do have an email. If I don't hear by 5:30, which would be 2:30 for them since they are PST, I'm going to shoot of an email to them listing the issue, steps I have tried, and the fact I did get it to work from the MB...

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    It is. Invoice was for the 7th and I received it on the 10th. I didn't open it until yesterday though because I was redoing my office with new monitors, hanging the TV on the wall, and adding a power grommet to my desk as well as putting together new furniture and painting areas that needed it...

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    That is unfortunate. I called them and had to leave a message. I really don't want to have to spend almost $1,000 just to get a competent video card. I never had a radeon before so decided to try it out.

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    I hadn't bought a PC from them in 15 years and that one lasted me well over 9 years. Did they get worse since then? I do have access to another GPU on my old computer. It is a Nvidia 970 so it is quite old.

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    So I ended up wondering now and I took the PSU out (which was not fun) and I made sure to press in all the wires in and check and it from what I can see it is direct wiring from the GPU to the PSU. I made sure to push all the plugs back in and powered it back up and nothing.

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    Yes they are attached to the GPU and I can tell they are to the PSU though I haven't been able to get to them properly. The case has a bottom part that is sections off the PSU from the rest of the case for it and wiring. Power is going to the GPU though cause the fans are going and the lights...

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    So I did as you said and updated the BIOS with the file I got from ASUS. I used the EZ flash tool on the BIOS. It completed and I reconnected the GPU amd nothing. I turn it on and the monitor says no signal then goes to black. I assume this means DOA GPU? Other question I have is how is can the...

    Question RADEON 7900 xtx

    it is an i7 14700k and yes it has integrated graphics. I pulled out the GPU and plugged it one of the monitors directly into the motherboard and I did get video. As far as the other items I did reseat the GPU. How would I go about updating the BIOS? I have done that in MANY years. There is a...

    Question Intel I9-13900K cooling

    Yeah after looking at reviews and such I decided to go I7 14 Gen with Integrated Graphics (just in case something happens) with the Z790 Gaming Board. Also I talked to a few people I know and have decided to give AIO cooling a shot. This is what I am thinking. CORSAIR iCUE H150i ELITE LCD XT...

    Question Intel I9-13900K cooling

    Ok so I am going to get the Gaming motherboard. I know jt has been thrown around a few times but not sure if I should get 13 gen or 14 gen. Also still on the fence about Radeon 7900 and GeForce 4070 TI. Not sure how important the excess stuff is. I read reviews and they are both in the same...
