Hi. gonna try my luck here, as google did not really come up with any good answers.
I have an old asus motherboard (P8z68-V pro) with an i7 2600k cpu on it.
I know that this is ancient stuff, but its only purpose is to act as a media server for my house, and its working great for our use.
but when I tried to use a RTX 3070 the gpu LED lights up red and PC cannot detect the GPU.
Im using a 500w psu, this is a tad too low but still, under non load settings it should still detect it, should it not?
So I was thinking the PCI slot was faulty, but trying a GTX 285 and it is detected in "device manager"
so this leads me to the question, is the LGA 1155 too old for the RTX series or is there something else im missing here?
Reason why im trying this is cause i want to use this pc as a mining rig and move the noise and heat away from my office.
(only a small time miner, no big stuff going on here)
