How did I damage my GPU

[jakelikestobake]

So I just build a pc with a ryzen 5 3600 and a rx580, and I spent a few days troubleshooting because none of the ez-debug leds were on meaning there was no issue with the gpu, cpu, or ram.

Yesterday however, I just randomly put a gt1030 from my other PC into my new build, and it immediately booted into bios

Could someone explain what happened? No ez-debug led's,  fans spinning, and eveything on but for some reason the brand new rx 580 wasnt working??

Did you plug in the supplemental PCIE power into the RX 580?

The 1030 probably doesn't use a supplemental power cable, so I wanted to make sure you knew about it.

yes, the 1030 was just one i had laying around that i used to test the gpu slot and PC

 

i got a nice 1660 now tho

 

any ideas on how the gpu was dead if it was recognized (no ez debug leds) and the fans were spinning?

Try it in another system to see if it works

 

otherwise, just rma it
