Help me to choose a motherboard compatible with GPU

d3exter · Apr 6, 2017

Hello, guys!

I bought Asus ROG Strix GeForce NVIDIA GTX 1050TI 4GB Graphics Card and it seems that it is not compatible with my motherboard Asus P8B75-M LX PLUS.

Can somebody recommend me a motherboard between £50 - £100 fulfilling the following conditions: -compatible with Asus ROG Strix GeForce NVIDIA GTX 1050TI 4GB; -CPU socket 1155; -RAM type DDR3 1600MHz .?

Also, do you think that my 450W power supply is enough? I have one 250GB SSD and one 500GB HDD, 16GB RAM (+4GB unused because I have only two slots), and an Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3550 CPU. Thank you!

How is your current Motherboard not compatible? It has a PCIe 3.0 slot it should be fine... Even older PCIe slots should work. And yes 450W would be fine for a 1050 Ti. Hope this helps

*Edit* Added your components into PCPartPicker with the most cheap and sketchy 450W PSU that came up and it says no compatibility issues. I have always found it to be highly reliable.

Your motherboard likely requires a BIOS update to support a new 10 serries GPU. Try the newest BIOS for your board: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/P8B75M_LX_PLUS/HelpDesk_Download/

Also why does it "seems that it is not compatible"??

This is the right slot for the graphic card, isn't it?

Yes, that is where the GPU goes into.

Now in regards to your 450w power supply would really need to know what model it actually is.
A quality brand 450w power supply can actaully handle outputing 450w, a cheap junk brand 450w power supply will die trying to output a constant 250w and high probability of frying your computer when it dies.

Power supply: Delux ATX-450W P4

Well that might be your problem right there, you have a very cheap low end power supply that probably cant even handle the demands of the GTX 1050 Ti.

Replace that PSU ASAP before it damages anything (some of these cheap units have even sparked and caused house fires).

Did you connect the 6 pin PCI-e power connector? Does the PSU even have one?

You are right guys, the problem is my PSU, it's cheap and it doesn't have the 6 pin PCI-e. Can someone recommend me a good PSU? Thank you!

I currently use a Corsair CX650M and I am pleased with it. It has received good reviews and has been recommended on this site by renowned helpers. Since it is semi modular you only attach the cables you need, for improved airflow = cooling.
Please also await suggestions from other helpers.

What about Corsair Builder Series VS550 550W, it's enough?

Nigel Spike · Apr 8, 2017

I can't find any real reviews and it isn't listed on Toms PSU tier list, so I wouldn't trust my computer with it, to save some £12-15. But that's me.
Power wise though it should be sufficient.
