Thanks man. /phew

Hi, I ordered an "Upgrade to Ryzen" kit for black friday.. But am a bit worried now that my power supply won't be able to handle it! My current rig that my psu is running fine: AMD-FX 8370 Radeon RX 580 8gb (can't remember motherboard name but it's pretty entry level) 16gb RAM The upgrade...

It's a Super Channel 500w

As per the title, if anyone could please help? Would it just just make it, or is there no way? Thanks!

Thanks for the help guys, not going to pick up the DVI-D converter then and start looking at a new monitor instead. And give the old one a kick up the back side, maybe it will start working!

Goodness, so it might not improve at all if I change from VGA to HDMI to VGA to DVI-D?

So I've had a bit of a tricky situation with my new graphics card - I upgraded to an RX 580 8GB. I used to have a GTX 760 that only had a DVI-I dual link female plug, and I have an LED monitor that only have VGA and HMDI cables - BUT the HMDI port broke somewhere along the line, so I'm stuck...

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for trying to help!! I finally came to the realisation that the HDMI port on my monitor is broken. So I had to get a converter 😊

Hi there, So I got a new gpu today, a RX 580 8gb, and my old one is a GTX 760. I installed it without trouble, but when I put the PC on the screen is just black. Though I can hear windows starting up on the speakers. My problem is that my old card used a vga cable converter that doesn't fit...

Would this kind of tape suffice? The basic insulation tape that you can buy in a hardware store for like 5$. Photo of it: https://i1.adis.ws/i/washford/868893?w=637&h=403 I have some lying around in my house.

I'm worried guys. I spent a long time into the morning hours trying to install this cpu cooler on my old motherboard, and managed to ah heck it up a bit. What happened was that my first attempt slightly damaged the green insulated tape on the backplate that goes on the back of the motherboard...

Thanks so much for the answers!!

Guys I meant GTX 760, sorry /facepalm

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I am currently looking to upgrade my graphics card on my low end system. I am currently running: AMD FX-8370 - Black box MSI Geforce GTX 760 16GB DDR3 Ram With this power supply: CoolerMaster eXtreme Power Plus 550w (RS-550-PCAR-E3) (Link) I want to get a...

I did not get a Wraith cooler with the box, just a standard heatsink - and the cpu is overheating a little bit and the heatsink is quite loud. Rest of the setup is fine, I only want to look at getting a new heatsink now for the small overheating and the loudness. Could you please help me and...
