i7930 Socket 1366 and RX480

Does anyone know if there will be any issuses with this.

My HD6950 CF ha Bricked I was wanting to upgrade my MB and Cpu first but fate would have it. I want to buy this in the next hour. any help ??

 

Unless your motherboard doesn't like it then no, it should be fine.

I would do some Googling first with your motherboard model number and RX 480 to see if there are any issues.

 

part picker doesn't seem to have an issue

 

I'm not sure if part picker would pick that up. I presume Vault-Tec is talking about the RX 480 pulling more current through the PCI-E port than the spec allows.

yeah I just read about the PCI-e power issue. The annoying thing is that information isn't available anywhere for my GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0) :/ it is 5 years old now

 

It supports 3 way xfire/sli, so it's designed for at least 225W of PCIe power. It's unlikely that each slot has a separate power trace back to the ATX connector, so I'd guess that it should be fine.

 

X58 boards are plenty durable.

 

I wasn't talking about the power thing no. Sometimes new AMD cards don't work on old bioses. In fact, I've had Nvidia cards that won't either, not without a bios update.

I guess there's always DSR so it may just be best to suck it and see if you can't find any instances of issues online

 

Got it installed. it works underload load as well.
