Lol yes it can be, but it's the only thing I spend on. I don't go out. This is my "relaxation" Gonna buy the psu tester, cause I can't figure this frying issue

 

[blackpanther26]

yes to me if you just RMA'ed the GPUs then somthing is frying the GPUs. Either the Power supply or somthing else. Or you could have a PCI-e connect that works when it wants too. you can try the PCI-e connector that you can hook up to a molex cable.

 

[miwanuma]

Will try that on build
