Hello there, and thank you for reading this.

Today I got a 8800GTX Water Tank Edition (water cooled) from the CEX store here in Portugal. I connected it to my 600W psu, but whenever i turn my pc on, the mobo beeps twice, stops for a few seconds, beeps twice again, and so on and so forth. I think it's my PSU not feeding enough power into it, because it was kinda cheap, and it's not from any known brand. Do you think I should try it on my main system (where I have a 500W CoolerMaster PSU) and see if it boots up normally?

I'll leave here the specs of my PSU.

Thank you so much.

That beep code for that board typically means a RAM problem. If you have multiple sticks, try one at a time. Another approach is to download memtest86 onto a flash drive, boot into it, and test your ram modules that way

Ok thank you, I'll test it out, and let you know here if it worked or not.

I justiça realizei that I tested already (before posting) the PC with the GPU turned Off, using integrated graphics, and it worked fine. Only when the GPU and the Walter block are connected that the PC doesn't show any image and does the beeps thing. Any ideia now? Thanks
