Gaming PC Build!!!

He's right, crap, I just looked up your PS


430W OF CONTINUOUS POWER
The Corsair Builder Series CX430 provides rated up to 430W of continuous power output at 30°C for low/medium-level computer systems. Dedicated single +12V rail offers maximum compatibility with the latest components.

You need dual 12v rails.

 

I switched the cables on the gpu from the one six to the other six and now its firing up, but still no display

It is definitely the right input. Everything else on the system is firing up I believe even with the gpu running. I am just getting no signal still.

 

The card is fired up and spinning now.... so I don't see the issue..

 

Yeah, without the second 12v rail you're kinda screwed...

The pics on newegg suck but the reviews say folks power the gtx 760 with them.

 

It looks to be seated in the mobo correctly. I really don't know what to check. Everything is plugged in as far as i know.

 

I have no idea what the 2nd 12v rail is. If it is running fine right now shouldn't it work?

 

You gotta have both 12v rails plugged in, the fans may spin but you might not get a picture.

My weak gtx 560 ti has to have both plugged in to run. Otherwise the fans just spin like crazy.

The 12v rail is the 6 pin plug thingy

you need two of them...

 

number of rails doesn't matter, he just doesn't have the amount of cables or the power for it

 

So I need a new power supply already or what?

 

Most likely, you need two 6 pin connectors, that card won't power on without it.

Its like a mini computer (the graphics card) The newer ones need a lot of power.

 

Awesome. Everything said this psu was compatible with this graphics card. I really don't want to go buy another already.

 

Sucks I know. Where did you get it from? They might let you return it and get a bigger one.

You should try to stick to 500w and up. Really go higher if you can so in the future it won't be a problem.

Corsair and Antec are pretty good. I've had my Antec 750w for 7 years and still running good.

 

Newegg

 

They're a PITA but they're pretty good at returning it. You have to go thru their website and write them.

 

Anyone know about this. 500w, claims to have dual 12v rails. Dunno about anything else. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182044

 

Wait wait wait. Dont loose your head just yet.

You don't need two 12V rails, you just need two 6-pin plugs. Lots of low-end PSUs don't come with two 6-pin plugs for the newer power hungry graphics cards. What your graphics card or PSU should have come with is a standard dual 4-pin to single 6-pin adapter, as in the pic below.



Look for one of these in your wires or call up your local computer store tomorrow. They should just give you one if you're nice

 

Will this for sure work?? I just found this in my gpu box! plugging in now. STANDBY!!!

 

Looks like it'll do the job.
31 amps, 2 x 6-pin connectors, 4 SATA power connectors.

 

Hope that works^

Most of the time though your better off with more power. More power = cleaner signals. If you stay with a single rail get one with lots of amperage.

Three rail PS's are good. One for the mother board, one for each 6 pin.

 

Yes, it will

Ask yourself why they put it in the box ... so you can use it in a situation like this. Won't do no harm, this is what it's there for. I've used them several times without any issues.
