Clarify please (by a lot!)
What wattage?
sorry, should have mentioned that, it's 750w. Cost me about $200 when purchased, and tested out better than virtually anything else at the time.
Thanks, but I'm almost certainly now, but based on extensive research, I'm about to buy a and AMD card. Same situation? Will they provide the adaptors?
dont need em, just need the included pcie power cables that the psu would come with.
Four veteran computer builders that I spoke with thought that I needed a new power supply, or at the very least, had to purchase a special adaptor for current new GPU's. That brought me here. Thanks for the information everyone has provided.
Then perhaps you don't need to be talking to those people anymore as they seem to be as much of out of the loop as you are. Personally I just think you probably misunderstood or misinterpreted what they were saying as they were probably referring to the standalone cables you can buy for the Nvidia cards. Again though how does someone that's interested in buying a new card not bother to even look at one single review? You have the whole internet in front of you and in mere seconds you can look at reviews to know that a card comes with an adapter if it needs one. The fact that you're even asking if AMD needs an adapter shows you haven't done a single bit of research and have no idea what is going on.
AMD cards just use standard 8-pin PCIe, no adapters should be needed.
we've all posted shit people wtf at, you included, simmer down eh...
I'm not mad just perplexed how somebody that is interested in buying a GPU has not actually looked at any of the GPU reviews.
For further peace of mind, I played cp2077 for 30 min and then took my thermal cam and aimed it at the connector (when case was open. Gun can’t measure through glass) and got a max temp of 101F under load.
Yea. Which doesn’t seem to bad IMO. But I don’t know what the temp of other “connectors “ should be. But assuming that a “melting” / soon to be melting connector should be much higher.Thats 38C in English
I will very soon find if my PSU has this problem.
Yes. I figured that a poor connection was likely the issue. That said that’s more of a user competence issue rather than equipment issue.
to further qualify- I meant poor connection which includes overstressing the connector at the connection point. That would have been my case if I tried to close the side panel with the original adapter (picture attached). Or it would have snapped the connector on the gpu itself. That said, pragmatically speaking, something like this should be a red flag for a builder anyway.
Get one of these
