The psu was made before that adapter I believe.

Wow, around 20 years ago my second wife and I use to have an African Grey and he was great until my ex wife started working and all went down hill then. The Vet said that he was to attached to my wife and he started pulling hi feathers out and there was nothing we could do about. It was heart braking. One morning we found him dead in his cage. He could leave the cage whenever he wanted and got very well with our two dogs at the time but sadly this wasn't enough. So, well done to you. 39 years is a long time. Respect!!

Great shot. My dad bought a pool table back around 1971 when I was around 9. Its a Cue Master 3/4" slate pool table and its still at my parents house. Sad it doesn't get used anymore. We spent hours playing pool. And as a teenager we hosted many "pool tournaments". Well you might as well call them "parties" !!! Lots of booze, pool and quarters being played !!!! Naturally when our parents were away overnight.

If you have Google Chrome then open it and click on the 9 dots high right. You will find Google chat there

12pin for PCI-e V.5 motherboard does your support it ? win 10 will use PCI-e V.4 or less Note:Windows 10 does not support PCIe 5.0 graphics cards. Currently, there are no graphics cards available that utilize PCIe 5.0, and the latest graphics cards are still compatible with PCIe 4.0. PCIe 5.0 is still a relatively new technology and is not widely adopted yet. this why for plays better but not too its full capibility. 12vhpwr+pinout

only thing i see is temputure of GPU , question was this got during Covid ? for the workmenship sucks those time as the vaxine. if out of warranty I'd re-T.I.M. the gpu and replace ram thermal pads or send it back to manufactor.

A few years ago, I saw, like so many others, the time coming when most things would work as an app better than all the programs. I am not really sure how they work, but does make many things much better and easier. What I would like to ask is who has Google Chat? I need to install it on my PC, but the Google Store and all the others that I have seen only have the ones that work on Apple products. I have Microsoft 11 on my PC. Can you help me with this, please?

The 50 series have a new connector style. Goes from 2x 8pims to one 12pin adapter thing. I have checked it. After going back to 10 and doing some testing so far much better performance and stability overall for both amd and nvidia gpu. Amd has more frame drops due to its nature and needing to be tweaked in settings while nvidia is stable.

good for has 70.5 Amps on the 12v rail funny say is 80amp certified, Just make sure the wire contacts are all the way in connection both ends of cable the RTX5070 draws 250watts (20 Amps) so that leaves 55.5 amps for rest of system Note : RTX Founders Edition with PCI-e V.5 draws 37.5 amps leaving 33 amps for rest of system. just make sure metal pins on both end of PCI-e cable are fully pushed in the plastic plug your good otherwise

That’s above my knowledge. I know pc parks but electrical.

60 to 90 years

They can live upwards 60 to 90 years

my Niece calls me cray cray. lol

Wow, nice pics. How old do they get?

This is my psu: https://www.msi.com/Power-Supply/MAG-A850GL-PCIE5

or cray cray lol

Happy birthday!! oh a change of decade!!!

Love the pics, thanks Maz!

Happy Birthday and have a great day

Nycz you have infared temp gun to check hot spots while gaming. eg the case top heat (open case or closed ?) other use temp monitor software and what is the room ambiant temp.

Happy Birthday.

that only if have the hardware that supports X-Sync

did you use a GPU drive cleaner befor install new card Note: back-up your data on the OS drive before using. Win 11 24H2 have installed KB5058499 I'm with Trotty on power connections check them very good for seen melted molex connectors from poor contact of connection end making heat when under load. First of all, you should make sure that your PSU can power the new GPU. When buying the adapter, you should always buy a good quality one. The good quality ones usually have 18 AWG, UL 1007 insulated wires. You can recognize them by the markings on the wires itself. Avoid adapters with blank wires since they are very cheaply made with very thin wires that are not capable of transferring so much current and they can easily melt. Good quality adapters are rated for max 120 W and this rating should not be exceeded. You could probably go a little bit over but at your own risk. If the cables are getting hot (so hot that you can not hold the wires with your fingers and you start to smell burning plastic) during the full load you should replace your PSU. If the wires are getting warm only, that should be fine since insulation is rated for 80 degrees Celsius. Do not bundle adapter cables, instead try to spread them away from each other for improved cooling, and in case of melting and failure of one or more cables, they would not touch and cause a short circuit. Also MOLEX end of the adapter should be inserted correctly in the female end. MOLEX ends should slide easily, which means that all MOLEX pins are inserted into collars correctly. If they are not aligned correctly with collars, they can be pushed back from their mounts making bad contact. After connecting MOLEX always push in individual wires to make sure that they are inserted all the way in. And that should be it, note if can pull wire out of its place means the lock isn't working and needs to be re-arched to make connection with lock. As you see the melted pins were not fully incerted. good practice to push all connectors (metal) after mating the plug for the cheap vendors build crap wires. Note: with no power to PSU
