New card arrived today. I swapped out the 1060 from my other machine, gave it a test run and it worked just fine (tried both rails too as the 1060...
Thanks guys. I've plumped for an MSI RTX 2070 - I have a second pc that has a 1060 in it, so will whip that out and test it. If it burns the card,...
I'm really not worried about the old card though... I'm wondering what the risk is of buying a new card and plugging it into my PSU after the...
My approach to getting refunds is always to behave reasonably. I'm dealing with people (chat-bots, aside) and you're more likely to get a more...
I'm not worried about the cost really - the 780Ti performed admirably for the 4.5 years I had it (purchased from Amazon in June 2014). I'll fire...
The 780Ti is definitely outside of EVGA's warranty (3 years), but the AX860i is well within (10 years). But if the PSU had failed, would it still...
Thanks, Blogins. The PSU seems to be ok - I removed the 780Ti and plugged an HDMI cable into the onboard VGA and everything is fine (for now)....
So my GPU died in a horrid plume of acrid silicon smoke and I'm weighing up my options. I would value some of your opinions for a replacement....
Thanks guys. I'm gonna try disconnecting everything at the weekend and see what happens. I tried reducing the RAM frequency even as low as...
Hi all I'm having a little trouble with my old pc which is: Asus Sabertooth X58 (bios version 1304) Core i7 950 (at stock) 12GB (6x2GB)...
Relieved is an understatement, though I did have small panic when I pushed the lose pins in - the power was off at the mains and on the PSU, but...
Thank you so much for the quick responses.... and now I must hang my head in shame.... The ATX connector on the motherboard was not fully...
Hi all I'm building a new pc with an Asus Maximus Hero VII and Corsair AX860i. I tested the PSU with nothing connected (it has a self test...
I'm well inside my comfort zone when building an air-cooled pc. Real-man's water cooling, not the all in one H110 unit I've plumped for, is...
Thanks for the reply meandmymouth. One other quick question if I may? If I went for the 6GB 780 (I have my eye on the EVGA model), and then...
I was surprised too, though the square logo did give it away. My experience from Scan with RMAs has been fine but then I've only ever had one...
Hi Nubble Any chance you could PM me the company name? I'm about to make some large purchases and would rather do it with my eyes wide open :)
Hi all Just looking for a little advice/comments/suggestions on the following build. My wife's graphics card has bit the dust so I'm using that...
Sounds like you've got fibre to the home too then. I recently upgraded to BT Infinity Option 4 (from Option 3) and the top speed I've had so far...
Thanks GB - that kinda answers my question too :)
