I Need A Favor

[Hatman]

Right, can someone turn their computer off for me 😀

Why? because I need to know something that may save me money.

If you have 1 graphics card and you use it, it must have 1x pci-e power cable plugged into it, I need you to take it out of its pci-e slot, but keep the external lead plugged into it, switch the system on and see what the card does if anything.

Obviously youll have no video, oly ned to know if the fans spin or it does anything though.

Just checking that my 7950 IS broke before I go buying a new 8800 lol..

I can tell you that without going that far as I've tried before with a 7900GTO, the rig runs OK, fans spin, but a message box pops up informing you that the graphic card is running in reduced performance mode due to insufficient power, please check connections or something but the fan doth spin. Why not plug the fan into it's own feed?
