RX 460 Issue

[iKl9kca]

So I bought a new RX 460 and the fans work but there is no display and I made sure I used the GPU output not MOBO

What's that PSU?

Prebuilt  

[MVPernula]

Yeah there we have it.. 300w.

 

Okay what can we do here.. Can you give me a complete list of your specs?

I can almost guarantee that you need a new PSU to run your build but lets make sure.

i5-2320, 8GB DDr3, but this GPU is only 75w?

Last GPU was AMD HD raedon 7450

But it also demands 400w to boot.

 

Calculating total powerdraw at IDLE gives 270w.

You need a new one.

Needs 270 but I have 300? Also why is it booting then and only not displaying a image

Becuase it has enough power to get some things spinning, but not enough to actually start it.

 

If a GPU says it requires 400w to start.. You need at least that much to start it. I recommend a 500w for some headroom.

Sorry but did you connect the 6pin PCIE power cable?

270w on IDLE? For OP PC? You smoking?

For 8GB RAM, an i5 2320, RX 460, a prebuilt motherboard and 2 fans.. I'd say yeah, 270w would be pretty spot on.

EDIT: NOT IDLE SORRY. My bad. But still 300w in total for this is not enough. Even if he managed to start it.. His parts would die after a while with a PSU like that.

No 6 pin it's a 460 also the reason I got it

RX 460 doesn't have a 6-pin?

 

Then I can kind of see why it doesn't start. You have a prebuilt mobo and a 300w PSU, getting a GPU much heavier than the AMD HD radeon 7450 wont let it start properly if the total powerdraw comes from the motherboard itself.

Yup.

You didn't mention 2GB Sapphire 460.  

The 4GB one come with 6pin connector.

Do you have any other PC to test the card? We haven't rule out if the card DOA or not.
