Set to 100%

Made sure I was in ultimate performance lol and speed step was already disabled

Set back to optimized defaults but nothing changed and xmp had zero affect

All power setting are set to auto

So I’ve been having this problem for a while and today I decided it would be a good idea to try a cone bench run until I got a score of 412. Games aren’t running well and I’ve got kind of decent specs for a budget build so I’m having trouble understanding why it isn’t running well. Now I’ve pretty much tried everything I can think of at this point and that’s why I’m here. I’ll take any and all suggestions. I’ll leave my specs below. CPU: Intel I7 6700 non k RAM: 16 GB of Ballistix sport 2666 MHz GPU: MSI Radeon RX 580 8GB Motherboard: MSI Z170A-G45 PSU: EVGA 650 Storage: inland 120gb ssd and 2tb seagate firecuda

So recently i have received an HP 8200 elite Mini tower and have since tried turning it into a gaming machine due to its intel i7 2600 and 16gb of ddr3. Now the proprietary PSU doesn't have a six pin on it for PCIE and im trying to put a geforce gtx 750Ti in to it. Whenever the graphics card is installed into the mobo i get nothing but all fans spinning at max but if the card isnt installed it boots fine. Now i have a separate PSU and im wondering if i can use a second powere supply to power the graphics card. Ive heard of people using the bypass trick where you put paper clip into the 24 pin and the external power supply works but is that dangerous. also is the any other way to get it working? anything more long term?
