so theres 5 slots on the motherboard. 1st - pcie x 1 2nd pcie x 16 3rd/4th pcie x 1 5th pcie x 16 (x8) I plugged the 1st "pciex1 to 4 usb" adapter into the 2nd slot (pcie x16) all 4 of the usb were used. I plugged the 2nd "pciex1 to 4usb" adapter into the 4th pciex1 slot (the other slots...

I'm mining crypto. the board is ga 970a ds3. has a fx 8350. I used 2 of those pcie x1 to 4 USB cards to connect 6 GPUs to this motherboard (working fine). When I added a 7th gpu, the board refuses to boot. no post beep, no video, nothing. The board does not post after I unplugged the...

my rx 6800's vram runs around 75c while fully loaded. is this too much (long term)? i have my gpu core underclocked so in full load it runs around 70c. if the vram is high i think i'm gonna underclock it too. (it runs around 2150mhz ish atm) thx.

I plan on installing windows 7 to use my windows 7 cd key. then I'll update my activated windows 7 to windows 10 to have my motherboard registered as activated. then I plan on a clean windows 10 install. I can't figure out how to get over the CSM problem.

I am trying to install windows 7 on a h410 motherboard with g6400. I am installing using a usb key. When I selected to boot from the usb, I press any key to start the installation. When I get to the windows 7 swirly logo the screen freezes. I tried to turn on CSM in the bios but when I do...

yeah I was really surprised that everything visually was just off while audio continue to play. I think i'm gonna try and tinker with it. If it is already dead then I can't do any further harm to it

shame, i really liked my gtx 780 lol. I have to use the hd 6850 as a temporary gpu till i manage to buy a new one.

I have an gtx 780 3gb that died 2 nights ago. I was in the middle of watching youtube when I suddently lost signal and both of my monitors went black. My monitors remain pitch black after restart and shut down/start. I did the following to make sure it is the gpu that is causing this -I...

say the gpu pulls 180 watt of power by stock. it gives 1250 mhz clock speed. I increase the power limit by 22%, the gpu now pulls 200 watt ish of power, and is giving 1340 mhz clock speed. i then under volt the gpu by 50%. it drops down to 160 watt ish while still giving 1340 mhz of clock...

isn't undervolting the same as giving the gpu less power (or electricity)? and increasing power limit is to permit the gpu to get more power (electricity) from the PSU? I feel confused.

can you explain why some rx 580 fails to hit rated boost clock due to power limit then? if it needs more power to hit 1340 mhz. then how come my rx 580 is still at 1340 even though i've heavily undervolted it? it seems like a "+1 -1 = 0" scenario.

without increasing power limit to 22% in msi afterburner, the clock speed boosts up to around 1240-1260 mhz while the gpu is at 100% usage. (temp is around 64c) with power limit (to 22% in msi afterburner), the clock speed boosts up 1340 mhz (as the card is advertised) while gpu is at 100%...

I did some research. apparently it is possible for a 2nd hand gpu to have been used for mining. often miners mod their gpu bios since apparently mining requires mostly vram and not much for the core (i don't do any mining). is it possible that this gpu i'm using is not running a MSI factory...

so many people had to increase their power limit on their rx 580 in order to get 1340 mhz boost clock? or is mine an odd ball ?_?

hang on, i always thought electronics (computer parts) either just work or they don't. I dont think a slight performance degradation happens in gpus. am i wrong in this? so it is not odd to have to increase power limit to just hit the advertised boost clock of 1340 mhz? also i"ve taken the...
