Graphics card doesn't lit up

[begadelavela]

Hi guys,

I have just built PC (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TdKHFd I bought parts at local shop) and when I turned it on for the first time everything was OK except the Graphics card didn't lit up at all but fans were spinning and the card didn't reach high temperature. PC was on for about 1 minute. I just want to know is it about Gigabyte software which I need to install when I install drivers and Windows or there is something wrong about GPU. 

P.S: Can PCI-E cable be under the fan of the graphics card? It is about 3 cm from the fan. I didn't want to plug it from a side but underneath because of the look and cables are flat so they are hard to bend from side.

Thanks!

The fans not spinning is a feature on the card to make it produce less noise under low-workload conditions. It's normal.

 

EDIT: I can't read.

Fans are spinning that is the problem.

Yeah, you'd need Gigabyte's software for that.

So it is normal for it to spin and not lightning without software.

You probably have to download a utility from Gigabyte to control the LED's.

What do you mean by under the fan? You mean in-between the heatsink and the fan? Then I'd say no, just leave it curved around and eventually it'll train itself to stay in that position.

Not between heatsink and fan. It is just under the fan.

That'd probably be fine as well, though I still suggest to curve it around.
