Hey guys, first post on here. So I've bought all parts for my new computer except the SSD which I already had and the PSU which I believed was going to be good enough.
The PSU is a Cooler Master Extreme 2 725w, it is quite old but since it's 725w and never was faulty in my previous rig so I assumed it'd be plenty.
I couldnt get the new rig to boot and I eventually cornered the problem down to the GPU (Gtx 1070 MSI x), when it's in the LEDs on it do light up and the fans start for a few seconds, and then they stop and I get no display, no beep and no boot. Once i took the GPU out I was actually able to boot the cpu with the integrated graphics. So my question is : Is this PSU too old and obsolete ?
RIG :
i7-6700k
GTX1070
MSI z170a-Pro mobo
2x8gb Corsair vengeance 3000mhz ddr4
Kingston HyperX 240gb
I'm 99% sure the GPU is not faulty, I saw it working at full capacity in another rig a week ago.
What do you guys think ? Is the PSU not powering the GTX1070 enough even though its showing me lit leds on the card ? It actually does not have the 8-pin PCI that the card requires, so I tried with its 6+2 pin and even with a converter 6-to-8. No result.
P.S: I'm not really well versed in the departement of PSUs, i dont know much about the specs of them besides the watts. So here's the PSU in question if you more tech-savvy gentlemen want to have a look at it : http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/extreme2/extreme2-725/
