Hey guys,
I have a Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 270X 4gb and the fans start running for a couple of seconds on startup then suddenly switch off.
I have recently built this new PC although I haven't installed Windows yet (waiting to get paid to purchase it) I'm wondering if this may be the problem or something I have done incorrectly during the build.
Also maybe an off topic question.
As I am new at building, this GPU has 2x 6 pin power connectors for power. I initially just put one 6 pin into the GPU and turned on the PC. The fans were running but no display. I plugged the other in and there was a display.
As there are 2x 6 pin power connector inputs on this GPU, does this mean both have to be plugged in.
Any feedback is appreciated and thanks for taking your time to read
