Yea that's a problem. The 470 is power-hungry and a cheap psu is a bad idea.500 watts some Chinese
PSU
i did plug in the 6 pin power connector but i had to use an adapter beacuse my psu dosent have a 6 pin connector. but even if i try to boot from motherboard graphics it freeze at the windows loading screen.Yea that's a problem. The 470 is power-hungry and a cheap psu is a bad idea.
What exact psu model is this? There is a sticker on the side.
Did you plug in the 6 or 8 pin power connector to the GPU? These are needed to boot.
its a be quiet 120mm AIO coolerA Molex to 6 pin adapter is a very bad idea. Can fry things very fast. I'd suggest a new PSU pronto before ever using that gpu, especially if the psu is as old as the core 2 quad.
For now, i'd remove the gpu.
What exact liquid cooler is this? Id makes sure it's tightly mounted with pump and fans working and then boot on motherboards gpu.
i did use thermal paste i think it is tightly mounted and i can. hear noise but the the radiator fan is spinning really fast so i am not. sure is the noise coming from the pump or the fanDo you hear the pump whirring? Did you use thermal paste and make sure its mounted correctly and tightly onto the CPU?
no i already used my pc for like 8 months and this was an upgradeIs this a fresh install of windows?
