I am building a new computer and all the builds I have seen the 8 pin power cord For the graphic card has been split into 2 X 4. There is not a power cord like this with the PSU. Can I use a PCI-E power cord with 6 + 2 configuration for the 8 pin.
I'm a newby building PC's.
I recently built a gaming computer and was having trouble rebooting. Ran Prime95 and it was rebooting bad. Saw a Youtube video where it said that Prime95 effects the GPU and some manufacturer were doing something in the GPU to counter act it.
I added another case fan...
The additional case fan seems to have fixed the problem as I have not had any problems since installing it. The after market fan will be delivered today and I will fit it also.
My temps as shown with AMD Master utility are at idle 37 to 40 degrees, watching Youtube 44 to 45 degrees and playing...
I installed the fan as per instruction. Lined up the arrow and tightened as was instructed. The fan is working. I have ordered another fan to replace the one that came with the Ryzen.
I've installed prime95 & AMD Ryzen Master Utility the temp is running between 88 & 92 degrees with only thoose 2 programs running. The program says max is 95 degrees.
No i'm not overclocking. Every thing is straight out of the box.
My system is
MSI B450 -A Pro Max motherboard.
Ryzen 5 3600 CPU.
2 X 8g Corsair Ryzen ram.
Sapphire Radeon RX 5700 XT GPU.
80+ gold 650W PSU.
Added another case fan yesterday as case only had 1 front and 1 back.
Thanks everybody. The case is a Fractual Meshify c & only has 2 fans 1 front & 1 rear, will add another 2 & see if that helps. No problem playing racing games.
