Or maybe an indication they'll keep going down :-/ | ||

Have you tried running a stress test? I would revert everything back to the original drivers and then do the above. | ||

I would revert everything back to the original drivers and then do the above. Um, it's a new build, there are no dust in the fans. Or rather, I have no fans on my GPU, only some nearby chassi fans. And yes, I've ran furmark even though it's a bad stresstest nowdays for GPUs. Also Witcher 2 and BF3. But I don't see how stresstests are relevant, the card does not even come close to overheating. I registered 73c as a max in furmark after a 30 minute run. | ||

Site just changed some of their prices, I will call them tomorrow about it (the 9mm SSD is now 3 euro more expensive than the 7mm). I assume to build it in a desktop you need the 9mm anyways? Also, there's 2 versions. The difference seems to be whether it includes a 2.5" to 3.5" frame or not. Is this needed with my case? | ||

I'm not sure about the bracket. The Fractal Core 1000 has a weird HDD mounting system where you hang the HDD vertically. You might just have to leave the SSD taped to the bottom panel or something. EDIT: Here is an article on the case. http://www.anandtech.com/show/5736/fractal-design-core-1000-how-little-is-too-little/3 | ||

Updated the Bios to support my cpu. Now its working BUT not with my graphics card. Its working perfectly with the integrated one. When i try the 560ti the monitor just stays black. Both 6pin-plugs are connected to the GPU. One of the plugs has 6pins but the middle ones are empty, is that normal? GPU fans are rotating. I connected the 8pin on my mainboard with 2 4pins. It says to connect just one in the mainboard manual. I tried that with no success. 400w should be enough right? I unplugged all unneccessary HDDs and USBs. I had the exact same card/powersupply working with an old core2duo yesterday. Anything i can try? | ||

Of course its in the GPUs DVI. I put it into the integrated GPU on the motherboard for testing... I am worried about one of the 6pin PCI-Express power cables. Its one of those because my power suppy just has one 6pin cable. ![[image loading]](http://static.clickbd.com/global/classified/item_img/470541_0_original.jpg) And the middle pins are empty. It was working with this setup in my old pc though....just different mobo/cpu/ram now. | ||

If his friend is not very computer savy, "not detecting a hdd" can also mean he's not assigned it a letter/formated it as well if it's a secondary drive. Many people just expect it to turn up once you plug it in. | ||

Since the card works in your old Core 2 Duo system, I'm guessing you either haven't installed the card properly into the PCIe slot or the motherboard has a defective PCIe 16x slot. Since you have a Core 2 Duo system, perhaps you have a spare PCIe GPU lying around so you can confirm that the PCIe slot is dodgy? Sorry, its all I can think of...I'm guessing you're using the same port on both the monitor and GPU, both of which worked fine in your Core 2 Duo system. | ||

Many people just expect it to turn up once you plug it in. AFAIK there would have to be some specific situations that would happen. Whether it's a boot drive or secondary drive, I can't think of many reasons why they would not just be plug-and-play from the get-go. But yeah, this is true. Are you trying to boot from the HDD? or just use it as a secondary HDD? If it's a boot-up HDD, make sure the boot-up priority is set to that HDD. | ||

Should I try removing the motherboard battery for a while or try booting with just one of the sticks in? (installing a noctua nh-d14 is a pain the dick by the way, that thing is gargantuan) If nothing else works I guess I'll just have RMA it. I've done all the basic testing if RAM is in the proper slots and if power cables are properly connected. My motherboard is an ASUS P8Z77-V, PSU is an XFX xxx edition 750w and the ram is 16gb Corsair XMS3 1333mhz (2x8gb). | ||
