gpu still sagging despite having a holder under it

[Dedesjusz]

the fans don't spin but after a short while i think that it's getting warm, also there is no video output, i have made a makeshift holder under it from thick gum and in the back of the case the pci slots don't move, could anyone help? it's been working fine yesterday, no graphical glitches at all

You can rout the power cable from the top and run it down toward the gpu so it kind of holds it up a little when it's plugged in. That's what I do with my gpu. I zip-tie the cable above the gpu to the chassis so it doesn't move, then plug it in from above. It should create an anchor for your gpu and look good cable management-wise.
If you get no display then reset your cmos to default values and try booting with the gpu. Check psu cable and make sure it plugs in and seats all the way.

if you are using that with a fx8, throw it away and get a better cpu/mobo/ram combo

msi had the worst boards for am3/am3+
very weak mosfets for the vrm, with no thermal protection
most had weak vrm config with poor cooling

4+1 with 4 mosfets per phase no heatsink on them

no.

what part do you not agree with?

the cable was exactly like that when i opened it, also i can't do anything because i have no video output and it won't even boot to windows

Make sure the gpu is seated all the way into the pcie slot. Get a flashlight and look at the pins and make sure they are all seated into the slot. Make sure the lock is engaged. Sometimes the back of the gpu can get caught on the chassis so you may have to line it up or in some cases slightly bend the bracket to straighten it enough so it goes flush.
And don't forget to reset the cmos to rule out mucked up bios settings.

me getting a 10th gen i7

even an 8th gen pentiumg g will beat fx8 in gaming and most tasks

on a lowish budget a ryzen 3600 will wipe the floor with it at everything

you dont need a 10th gen intel cpu to destroy fx8 performance

it is terrible

just sayin it may not be the gpu thats damaged

if its sagging alot, it can tear the pci-e x16 slot off the board

have you tried other gpus?

[_I_]

do you have another build you can swap gpus to test?

fx8 is ancient, what was your previous gpu?

[HOT DOG]

the only real way to prevent sag is a water block and metal pipe

its not worth it



otherwise



your gpu power cables could be fried


you could replace them if you can find them

920m is a mobile gpu, not compatible with any desktop cpu/mobo

Then make sure your display cable is plugged into the gpu and not the motherboard.

only the x60 x80 and 8xx or g boards had the onboard gpu
770-970-990 do not

the motherboard doesn't even have an input like that
