Gigabyte Radeon R9 270x won't start?

Aeonxal · May 16, 2014

Hello guys, this was my first build and I've managed to put everything together correctly, but I'm not so sure about graphics, it has 2x 6 pins(squares, oval) and I got in the case with it, 2x 6 pins split to two 4 pins, I got HCG 620W by Antec, how should I connect it properly?

Thanks!

Two sets of 4 pins is the AUX ATX bundle. They should plug in somewhere by the CPU. That PSU probably has a couple of 8 pin plugs that should be 6+2. Those would be the ones you want to use.

so your psu should ha two pci-e connectors you have two kind of pci-e power connector...one is a 6 pins and the other
is 6 pins + 2 , so check on your gpu if its a 6 pins or 8 pins power connector ( 6 pins + 2 )
depending on your psu , you need thoses connectors it look like that

or rarely a 8 pins power connector

DO NOT MESS UP OR MIXED UP THE CONNECTOR ...EACH CONNECTOR HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY
pci-e is for gpu ONLY

Thank you! Is there a posibility that I need to update BIOS? Oh and I wonder whether if I plug wrong can it damage the card?
Thanks!

yes its possible to damage something...but install HWMONITOR AND CHECK THE VOLTAGE OF THE PSU IF THEY ARE NORMAL
