Hi, I noticed that my performance on my GTX 1050 ti is a little low compared to others, sometimes too low, The GPU is running at maximum clock speeds with good temps in the 50's. But frame rates are low. So after looking inside my Mobo (MSI H310f minning card) i found out that it has 2 Molex ports to power up all the PCIE slots, and one of them is also used to power the x16 PCIE slot where my GPU is plugged in.
Anyway i removed the card, Plugged a Molex connector and when i tried to plug the graphics card again i couldn't because the Molex cable and port is too close to the PCIE slot and the card won't go all the way down and plug properly.
If anyone has issues picturing the problem just look for the motherboard online you will see.
So my question is, what do i do? Or what can i do? The GPU heatsink touches the Molex cable head.
Also i'm i right to assume that my GTX 1050 ti is limited by not plugging in the molex cable? The card itself doesn't have a 6 pin connector on it, and it says it will only need 75w from the motherboard. But the performance lf the card is lower than it should be, Even if it says it's running at full load with boost clocks and decent temps. And after countless DDU drivers reinstalls and even OS reinstalls and updates i can't find the source of the problem.
For the PSU i have a thermaltake 450w which people told me are bad but i don't know if it is the source lf the problem.
