Question No signal to monitor with a new RX 6700 10GB ?

[Rehand]

I upgraded my Nvidia GTX 750 to a brand new RX 6700 XFX for my motherboard, i7 3880u 3rd gen 16gb ddr3 ram and 520 watts and before I was 2gb.

My psu has just 1 x 8-pin PCIe, but my new card requires 2 x 8-pin PCIe so I bought a sata power connector but it seems after turning on my pc I have no signal. So I am wondering either my motherboard is not compatible with my new gpu or my psu has killed my new gpu ?

But before I installed the new GPU on my i7 3rd gen motherboard , it was tested on an i5 8th Gen and was used to run FC 24 at ultra settings so I don't know if it is not compatible with my i7 3rd gen ?

I don't think so.

Well regardless of what you think, it isn't your money being spent. And what you've posted is complete rubbish. The price difference for a newer system is not worth the increased performance. So I'll disagree with everything you said on that.

Ok nice for the advice so what I am wondering is if the psu have killed my new gpu

You won't know until you test with a different power supply. And given what you currently have, I'd be trying to source another because you need one anyway.

Hello @John Chesterfield,

...Thanks, I guess? Actually, you don't really look convinced about the fact there would be a possible bottleneck. To rassure you about what I'm talking about, I got a proof about this. I asked on Tom's Hardware about if I should change my i7-4790 or not. Most people told me upgrading to a new platform to get rid of bottlenecks would be more reasonable: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...d-it-be-better-to-buy-a-new-computer.3822865/

Whatever, you are right on the fact @Rehand's RX 6700 XT can turn without any problem on it's current build, but I don't want him to be decieved due to a extremely possible bottleneck. The time that changing a PSU takes is most likely longer than building a fresh build that can fully use the power of @Rehand's GPU. So, if I was @Rehand, I wouldn't take risks on buying a new PSU and suffering from other problems (Remember he was using an adapter!).

I hope things are clearer for you. Have a nice day.

Hi @Rehand,

That's a good question. I would say, the chances are pratically least. But it's something we have to test. I guess you kept your GTX 750. According to what you said:

Please note the card wasn't tested on my i7 3rd gen but rather on an i5 8th gen and it was working

Your GPU should be working. But a PSU that kills a GPU can only happen if the PSU is faulty. To make sure it's not the case, all you have to do is to put your GTX 750 back into your computer to see if it boots correctly. If it doesn't, your PSU is most likely faulty, but I highly doubt it. In that case, we would have to go deeper.

Well, then... if things are OK for you, you could mabye already recover your important datas off your computer (with your GTX 750 of course), see if you don't mabye have a old HDD lying around, put it into your computer, and start buying your future build. If there would be a last thing to check, it'd be all a question of budget. If you can't afford it or don't want to waste that much money on a new computer, we could think about something cheaper of simply a new and reasonable PSU.

I hope my help wasn't useless. I hope you'll enjoy your new build, and if there's still a problem, please let me know about it. See you soon.

@Vikko151

Clearer? Why are you going on about old processors when the system suggested is a 12600k/kf based one?

I think you've lost track of the thread, that is the system I'm referring to.
