GTX8800

[Fify]

So i got my hands on a realy old GPU, a BFG GTX 8800 OC2 

i wanted to test it out so i went to my pc and pluged it in. i got a post everything worked i opend a game and after about an h of playing CS:GO i got a black screen and a continuous beep (i got a 7 day ban if someone wants to laugh at me). i restarted the system and now only after 10 min the beep accured. So first thing i did was go online and try to figure out what was the GPU trying to tell me, on most fourums the issue was not plugging in pci-e power connector but i did, other people said that the PSU might not  be power full enough but i have an 750w Chiftec psu i thought that shouldn't be a problem but when i look at my psu on the said it said that its pushing out 18A on the +12v1, +12v2, +12v3, +12v4. After looking up onilne i found out that the GTX8800 needs 30A,but i think that the Amps summ if i use 2x pci-e connectors (i might be totaly wrong) so in the end i dont understand why would it be beeping  BTW now if i try to boot the system the gtx 8800 beeps when posting most times it doesnt even get that far.

 

So the next thing i did was get my hands on a diffrent PSU a coolermaster Ultimate 900w now this one has 25A on +12v1, 20A on +12v2, 22A +12v3, 22A +12v4, so this one is more powerfull, but suprise suprise the GTX 8800 still didnt want to shut up.so now i dont know what to do is it a car issue?could i have 2 broken PSUs?

 

Sorry for the bad english i tried my best dont judge me

i hope that someone can help mee

The gpu might be faulty.

I should have mentioned that when i got it, it didnt work, it didnt even want to post,  i took the heatsink off cleaned everything witha toothbrush (the hole pcb from both sides) put some new termal paste and then it worked for 1h and then the story follows

So it's a faulty gpu, the original owner didn't take are of it and now it's a zombie gpu.

Can try again, but I won't bother with it. The card is 90% dead.

Yeah, sounds like a goner to me. Shame, 8800/9800GTs are the shit! Pretty cool for being so old now.

Yeah, they're long gone. It was them and Asus who have decided to make Ageia PhysX cards, way before Nvidia acquired it, and added PhysX directly into their newer gpus, instead of using a separated card.

Or do a exploded diagram of it and then hang it in a picture frame or something.
