just trying to put more juice in it to see if i can boot my G45 board with the 4850
thanks! :)
 
Not enough info to not risk something.
Why do you need more juice on PCI-E?
 
Leave the PCI-E voltage alone. The only safe voltage is the default voltage. If you're messing with that, you don't know what you're doing, and you're doing the wrong thing.

If you are getting a message that the video card isn't getting enough power, then you need to either plug a 6-pin PCI-E power connector from your PSU into your video card, or if your PSU doesn't have a 6-pin PCI-E power connector, you need to get a PSU that has one.
 
he is trying to get the P5Q-EM to work, it has trouble with some graphics cards. I think I have a solution for you though. try using the jumper on the 4850 to set it to PCI-E 1.1 instead of 2.0

dunno exactly what u mean
can u please explain a bit more?
thanks! ;)
 
so where is the jumper exactly?
i m having a hard time to locate it
pic or link would be great!
thanks
 
been doing some research online...
is it just visiontek 4850 or all other 4850 doesnt have that jumper?
because the link u gave me was about a 4870x2
and i found 1 or 2 about 4870
but none of these cards mentioned any manufacture... so i m completely clueless right now...
i suppose it is not that hard to find the jumper right?
but i been going thru the card a few times still cant find a jumper
so i hope it is just me who been keep missing the jumper rather than it is visiontek doesnt have one =(
 
I would assume that if the 4870 has it the 4850 would as well, since they are based on the same chip and PCB. I will take a look at my card today and see if I can locate it.
 
any luck finding it or any pic to show me where it is?
and which manufacture are u using?
