An ultra-quiet 120mm fan delivers excellent airflow at an exceptionally low noise level by varying fan speed in response to temperature.
80Plus certified to deliver 80% efficiency or higher at normal load conditions (20% to 100% load)
0.99 Active Power Factor Correction provides clean and reliable power.
Complies with ErP Lot 6 European Union standard for low standby power consumption.
Universal AC input from 90~264V. No more hassle of flipping that tiny red switch to select the voltage input!
Extra long fully-sleeved cables support full tower chassis.
A dedicated single +12V rail offers maximum compatibility with the latest components.
Over-voltage and over-power protection, under-voltage protection, and short circuit protection provide maximum safety to your critical system components.
It supports the latest ATX12V v2.3 standard and is backward compatible with ATX12V 2.2 and ATX12V 2.01 systems
The issue Im having is that my monitor goes straight into sleep mode with VGA no input signal.
Ive tried uninstalling the ATI 4200 graphics card drivers and disabling it, through windows
Ive tried disabling the ATI 4200 through Safe Mode start up
Ive checked BIOS and PCI-E is on for Display (On Board is off)
Ive checked all my connectors and made sure that the card was slotted correct
I have both PCI-E connectors plugged into both of the 6 prong plugs on the new Radeon HD 6870
Ive tried to download the new drivers from AMD for the Radeon HD 6870 before switching the graphic cards around
The Radeon HD 6870 is getting power because the fan is coming on for it, but I still cant get the monitor to come on when computer powers up, shows VGA with no input signal.
Im really confussed on why this isnt working, I thought with the card plugged in and no drivers from the old card on my computer that Windows 7 would pick up the new card and then would ask for a driver update/install.
Anyone have any ideas on what I need to do to get this to work, its really driving me crazy
