pcie connectors missing

[vesteere]

Hello, ive been searching for my problem but couldnt find it anywhere else, it appears that some of the connector pins are missing from my gpu the gpu isnt turning on

[OhYou_]

the "missing" pins are just not needed pins. the manufacturer did not include them because it saves 0.001 USD per card so it adds up after a while

Just to clarify, they are used for power delivery/signaling.  So they are omitted because cost, probably.  Its likely a lower end card that would not take advantage of the extra signal/power bandwidth even if it was available.

 

Typically you see this on cheaper cards which have less PCB layers and so they are cheaper to design and build as well as less material needed.

 

The card is designed this way and thats not why it isnt booting.
