Question New Build, GPU won’t turn on

[Jwebb5]

Hello,

I’m working on my first PC build and finally got my graphics card today. After assembling everything the case/CPU fans and lights started but the GPUs did not. I was unable to get an image from HDMI into the GPU but was able to get a picture from MOBO HDMI.

Build:
Ryzen 7 7700x
MSI Trio 4090
Corsair 850W SHIFT PSU
MSI Pro B650-P MOBO

I have since updated my BIOS and installed windows but the GPU is not recognized and the fans are not spinning. I’ve tried remounting it several times and tried another PCIE slot but nothing. I definitely heard the click when I inset the card.

Am I missing something obvious here? To my understanding these PSU cables should work.

Your current GPU requires a single 16-pin PCIe connector, or you have a different MSI model ? Does your PSU support this cable ? If not, then you would be required to buy a compatible adapter or a PSU.

You require this cable: 12VHPWR Cable (12+4) pin. I think your PSU/RM850x SHIFT has this cable.

Yes I am using this https://www.corsair.com/us/en/p/pc-...LhhGJN50VfD8XiWu0s8kpdYIR3CifLW8aAq50EALw_wcB



However, after some tinkering I’m beginning to think that the PCI and my card are not fully engaged. Forgive my ignorance but should I be seeing some or the gold colored pins still if it’s fully plugged in? My case may be the issue here as the 3 prongs that come off the card seem to stop it from going further down.

No, the GPU has to be properly inserted into the PCI-E slot. No gold pins should be visible.

Thank you so much man. I’m a dumbass but I had to bend my case back to allow clearance for those prongs and then I could slide the card down fully.

You need to support the weight of that gpu. The issue is if you leave the gpu without support the PCB can crack on the card near the PCIe slot. If you have a support for the GPU then please ignore this post.

No worries ! Glad the issue is now sorted out.
