I have an older computer, that I built, and I need to determine what GPU I can use on it. I have the following motherboard:
MSI Gaming 970 Gaming AM3+/AM3 AMD 970 and SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard - AMD
My old GPU was burnt up by the application of K5PRO to the heatsinks, surrounding my GPU's processor. My temps only raised 10 degrees, after about 8 months of use and I actually went back in and re-pasted them but no improvement. I finally replaced the thermal pads but the damage had already been done and now, it's bricked.
I have been looking at the new Radeon 6600XT GPU's and am wondering if they are compatible with the above motherboard. I can provide any other info that you may require so let me know if you need it. Thanks
Now, as for K5PRO, it may be a good product but I am warning you to use with caution, if you decide to use it. I advise against it.
