I recently bought a Sapphire Vapor-X R9 270X. I switched my old card with the Radeon card after watching multiple videos and tutorials(this is my 1st time actually doing this) and I encountered a problem, well, multiple problems.
My HDMI cable could not enter the HDMI port. I have a feeling that the way I placed the card is incorrect and it probably is incorrect. I switched back to my old card and the same problem occurred. I constantly switched between cards and in both, my HDMI ports looked slightly out of place which was weird as I did what I was told. I tried to move the cards a little to the point where my HDMI cable could physically connect but in doing, I was unable to tighten the screws. Previously, I could connect my HDMI cable into my old card. Do note that my PC was actually assembled by someone else when I first got it 2 years ago. Currently, I'm using my old card through VGA which is kind of faulty(the port, not the cable) so I have lines appearing on the screen which is kind of annoying.
Is there a specific way to put the card in? I am unable to provide pictures of the problem unfortunately. My old card is a Gigabyte GT 640 and my case is the Cooler Master K281, if that actually helps.
I also want to ask about the two 6 pin-to-MOLEX connectors. According to the manual, I have to connect 1 to my PSU, and the other to my mobo but I cant find the right port in my mobo. The manual doesn't really help much so I hope that someone can help me explain these 2 connectors and also how to connect them.
Thanks.
