Asus Direct Cu ii ati hd 6950 2gb
-
Hello everyone!
I bought an Asus direct Cu ii hd 6950 2gb and I have a problem, a red led lights up near the pci-e connectors.
First thought: it's not well powered or I have the connections wrong.
First thought: is it a power supply issue? I have a corsair HX 850w with its 2 pci-e 6+2 pin connectors. The connections this card needs are 1 pci-e 6 pin and another 8 pin (I use the 6+2). In theory with this power supply I shouldn't have power issues, it carries a 12V line with up to 70A shared on the line.
Second thought: is it a connection issue? I've tried the 2 pci-e 6 pin connectors on the old card and both work. Could it be a problem with the 2 extra pins of the pci-e? They are ground connections, so after reading forums and looking for information I made a mini 2 pin connector with a molex to connect it to ground. It still doesn't work with the red failure light on, although the card's fans work.
I'm left to think that the card is defective and I've already started the return process to have it replaced.
If anyone knows or knows the solution to this problem it would be appreciated!

hello and welcome to the forum. if you edit the signature or, at least put the rest of the PC components it would be very helpful to be able to comment something

Edited signature!

Man I would say to make sure what function that red led has, and that if the graphics card performs under conditions and stays at normal temperatures there should be no problem.
-
I have not found anywhere that it means that red LED but it is the typical one for lack of power. If I remove the 2 pci-e connectors that light turns on as well.
-
Look at the manual for the alma candida board, or if not, search the web before doing anything, you need to know what that led is.
-
Are you referring to the manual for the graphics? It's a little booklet with 1 page on how to install it in 3 steps.
-
Bm4n tells you the manual for the board (motherboard) and you say that a red led lights up near the PCI-E connectors (we deduce that it's on the motherboard) so check the manual to see what that led is for

anyway, it lets you do something, enter the bios or not even start -
The LED that lights up is on the graphics card, right above on the graphics board. -
Ahhh then that's the power led: giggles:
Here it says it's: Tested and Burned] ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP Review - 3D Tech News and Pixel Hacking - Geeks3D.com But exactly what does it indicate… it may be that your power supply doesn't power it well or that the graphics card is faulty, it's difficult to know without being able to test it or with another power supply or that same graphics card in another computer.

The million-dollar question, but does it work or not, if not, to use the warranty, regards

Check what amperage your source has for the 12V line. -
It has more than 70A on the 12V line so it seems to me that the power supply is not the problem… It looks like the graph is broken...

solved! it was the pci-e connectors, I put the modular ones instead of the ones that go directly to the source and it's like silk! -
Well, if the source is under warranty, you know, before it expires, send it back.
-
yes, if that's the case, it's almost certain that your power supply has a fault, maybe a bad connection in a cable or something similar. as they have told you above, don't think twice and process the warranty if you can. it's better that you do it directly with corsair and not with the store where you bought it, corsair has impeccable customer service, they usually don't put up any obstacles and they take very little time. once I had to change a corsair power supply, they sent a delivery person to my house to pick up the faulty power supply and delivered a new one at the same time, that is, without having to wait absolutely nothing to assemble the new one. -
Well in my opinion, his problem was solved by plugging in the 6+2 PCI-E cable from the modular power supply, (logically this is the one designed for graphics cards), not the 6+2 that comes from the power supply, (12v auxiliary connector for the motherboard), I don't think it has any fault :rollani:
!AMD Power!

Did the connector fit well? Without forcing it, I mean? ¿|:|

If in the manual of the source it is named as EPS/ATX 12V 8 & 4 Pins, this is not for the PCI-E (graphics), but the alignment of the ATX plates
Best regards

I say this because almost all (if not all) PC graphic connectors and others have certain chamfered corners so that they only fit into certain connectors and in a single position (for example, the four-pin molex)
