RX 480 problem (with power supply i think)

[Dimce97]

I have modular PSU (Thermaltake SPS-630M). My previous graphic card was working properly and required 175 watts, but it has 2x6pin PCIe power input. My new GPU requires 150 watts, but it has only one 6pin power input. Last GPU worked fine when it was supplied from 1x8pin PSU output which separates to 2x6pin input in GPU. When i put only one of these 2 branches in my new GPU, it doesnt work properly (sometimes vents dont work, sometimes it just stop showing "snow" on monitor etc). I think that power is the problem, because they tested it at the shop and they said it is fine. Is there any solution (maybe to connect it to 1x8pin to 1x6pin, or 2x8pin to 1x6pin, or to try to find somewhere some kind of an adapter with 2 female 6pin to 1 male. Will anything of this do the job? Or should i try something else?)

(this is my PSU and i see that max output is 120W, so i think problem is lack of these 30 watts)

I have the same problem, with the same GPU. I contacted MSI, and they are helping me now, so that i can update the VBIOS for the card. I belive its the same problem for many, since they only suggested that, when i contacted them. So im gonna try that again tomorrow, ive never done it, so need to ask/ read about how to do it correct. So contact MSI, and they send you a updated file you can flash. Maybe its another issue, with your PSU, but i see its exact the same symptom as for me, and the same card. So try contact them first. Im waiting for more info from them about the flashing of the card. But here is what they told me to do: GPU issue

Content:
There is the newest VBIOS,please try to update.And if possible,please insert your card into another motherboard to have a look again.
For example:
1. Please put the file you downloaded on D partition,then directly extract it here.
2. Now go in start menu and write cmd.exe in search and open command prompt(cmd.exe) with right-click and "Run as Administrator. A black dialog box appears in there.
3.Input "d:",press "Enter", then input"cd WinFlash_2.6.7-V277-38S",press "Enter",now you enter the directory where the flash bios tools belong.
4.Now Input"atiflash -p 0 TV277MH.351 -f",press "Enter", and then the Flash Will proceed,wait a few seconds, When complete it will show a windows and will ask you to reboot.
5.Reboot your computer.DONE.
If you encounter any problem,please use google search Internet with keyword "ATIWinFlash" for help. there some instructions.

Im tired, its late where i live, so need to do it again tomorrow, and hope it works.. they sendt me a file with this, but they need some info about your bios and driver version. If i get any luck with mine, i let you know!

What brand is your GPU?
