So I'm picking up one of these for my PC and I'm fairly new to this. My PC has a PCIe 3.0 slot but it has a motherboard mounted GPU and doesn't have the cables for a graphics card. What would I need to get to install this?
Dragon Blogger Technology and Entertainment I have an I5 7400 with a gtx1060 I use it mainly for Vr, should i upgrade to a 1080 first or an I7 first?Any advice is appreciated.
@@SoUtHMeMpHis I am sorry SoUTH MeMpHiS, it looks like I missed this comment, I try never to over look any comment. For VR, you are using a VERY basic video card, you need a 1080 or higher, right now with pricing the way it is, maybe a 2070 or a 2080. Let me know if you need a link
Better to screw in your card before plugging in the power cables so you don't bend the PCI pins. And using a screwdriver to press the clamp is a bad idea because it could slide off the clamp and scratch the card.
I love how your tutorial is explained in good about of detail if what to do and not to do, and how your explanations are easy and simple to understand. ..... cheers!
Good video BUT i would do it this way. 1:Take off case/panels 2nd:unplug the pins connector from the graphic cards 3rd:unscrew the screws that's pinning down the graphics card then gently press down on the pin while your other hand pulls it out. To put a graphic card in 1:put the graphic card int he PCIE x 16 slot 2:screw it in and lock it in 3rd connect the 8 pins. i notice in the video you plug the graphic card into the PCIE slot before locking it in and espcially with that card weight you nearly bent it.Lock it in and do the Pin last.You don't want to overbent the card.Great video overall.
while I do agree with you, and normally what I could do, since I place the system standing up and the camera was so close it made it a little more difficult, on my newer videos I have a better camera angle to make this much easier to do. Sorry I did not reply earlier to this comment, It looks like I have missed some.
All these people complaining about antistatic wrist straps. I've been doing the same thing (just touching the case) since I've started working on PC's and I've never had a problem.
Thank you for this, I was worried I'd do something wrong and break it. Mainly because it's my first time taking my parts out and into a new and bigger tower case.
Ya, ok. A new video card is installed. But what about taking out the old driver software and installing the new driver software? How to deal with conflicts on the software and driver side of the equation..
You are very welcome my friend, it is very easy but stores and such that try to sell you the service make it out to be much harder than it is so that you can pay them or maybe that person just doesn't have enough time and they feel like it will take forever, when actually driving to the store to get this installed takes longer. I am so very happy I could help you, and sorry I missed this message earlier.
Good solid instructions ( minus said screw driver bit ) ,checked out your site an its now bookmarked . Subcribed to this channel as well. Like the wealth of benchmark info on the review on your site as well. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for this video! a bit of warning about removing the graphics drivers before taking the old card out, then taking the old card out, and then installing the new card would have helped a bit but we got it handled! thanks again keep up the great work!
I am building a system from scratch. What would be the easiest way to install it? Should I install the graphics card before the massive cooling system and fan/power supply?
The only thing I'd have done different is, anchor the card with the mounting screws before connecting the two 8 pin power harness. Keep from moving around and the possibility of damaging the slot, which is possible to do.
What do you do if you have a card that needs a 6 pin power supply but you don't have an available 6 pin owner supply to plug into it? I have rh GEFORCE GTX 1650
Iggy Castillo Hardware is just to expensive not to use one. Lot of returns are because of this. No biggie, for someone new might be important. My first was a 386sx, been around awhile also. Have a good one.
Bobb F I've seen tech UA-camrs purposely try and short their components by rolling around on a carpet and another video where someone took his rig to a playground in hopes of damaging his PC and it still didn't happen. Plus a lot of PC components these days have anti-static protection. Like he said just ground yourself by touching something metal first.
Great Video Man Im 16 and I wanna upgrade to the gtx 1080 and i have the money to do it but my dad doesn't really understand and thinks its very hard to do hopefully if i show him this video he will see that its much simpler then it looks and allow me to buy the card. :)
Hello Carl Grimes, you are very welcome my friend, I started building PC's when I was 13 years old, the very first PC I built was using an AMD K5 Processor, I think it was 75Mhz, but I started with PC's back with the IBM XT 5150, one of the very first home PC's, I think it was like 3 Mhz. You are never too young or too old to start. Rather than going off of this video though, which really only shows you how to install the video card, it might be best to work off of this video, that shows you how to build a PC, maybe you and your dad can learn together: www.dragonblogger.com/fractal-design-define-r6-blackout-tg-review/ Mind you its a review on a case, but it kind of shows you from the ground up, and i have recorded many different builds and such, so I have tons of information for you on here and always will to help. Thank you so much stopping by, checking out the video and commenting, your comment means the world to me, thanks again. I think you and your dad doing this together is a great bonding experience, trying to get my son in on it as well, but all he wants to do right now is game (he is 12) and I TOTALLY understand that, its what we do. Anyway, thank you again and please dont hesitate to ask me any questions, I would be more than happy to help. Also are you planning on getting this card specifically?
Awesome man thanks for the help I actually just ordered parts to take upgrade my old pc but its basically like building a pc from scratch because I have to take out the graphics card, hard drive, ram, and CPU from the old pc and I had to buy a new case, PSU, new CPU fan, motherboard, and some new fans it should all come in tomorrow I can't wait!
A pretty nice and easy tutorial for those who are at the beginning. I must say though when you used the screwdriver to push down on that locking mechanism was cringe worthy. If that screwdriver slipped into the motherboard it would've most likely section those traces. And boy those things are really hard to fix. Anyway interesting locking mechanism for that pci-e slot, never seen one of those. Also I'm glad to see that you still have the artic cooler freezer 240 , how's it going? Unfortunately I never managed to get one. I might try again this month when my paycheck comes.
+Iggy Castillo I'm glad that I can help. I've seen the video on that i32 semi-passive heatsink. But I really doubt it's going to keep up with an overclocked 4790k. And their is the second problem that I have really high profile ram sticks so I'm pretty much forced to buy a AIO. Now I'm on a DeepCool Iceedge 400FS. Wich it's actually not that bad, pretty quiet and keeps it at around 60 to 80C depending on the ambiental temperature and load. I didn't bought the 240 because I kinda struggle with money right now and if bring the life into the discussion I'm going to apply for my motorcycle and car license and I need to fork a pretty significant amount of money. I know it's hard splitting the time between work , youtube and family. I wish you best of luck and a great day to you and your family!
+Iggy Castillo Your ram it's small in comparison to mine. I have the Corsair Vengeance Blue series it does look nicen they color match perfectly but they are ginormous. Almost 2 times in height compared to low profile ones. I don't know I'm pretty sold on the artic 240. If I'm lucky I will still be able to pick it up with around 70$ . Wich is a steal for such a good performing AIO.
+Catalin Ionut And my motherboard it's a bit smaller than usual ATX size. The distance between the cpu socket and the ram slots is a bit smaller. (by a 20mm maybe? )
damn. i literally just bought a computer and ordered a gtx 1080 for next week. I have absolutely NO knowledge of computers but I just wanted one to get into pc gaming. This makes me nervous. hopefully i'll be able to install it no problem. thanks!
So do you have to take out the old card? Obviously with 4 ports you can install more than one but if I had a mediocre but okay card and was putting in a 1060 or 1070 would they work at the same time or does one card work at a time?
New to PCs May sound like a noob but My power supply only has a 6pin connector into my gtx 1060 3gb currently.... do I have to buy a new power supply with a 8 pin adapter to run a gtx 1070?
no worries my friends, we were all noobs when we started, what makes us grow is trying new things, I am very happy you came to ask here, I love helping people. Now, you can always get an adapter like this: geni.us/aVKHw but the bigger question is, what model power supply do you have, and wattage? Please let me know the exact model number of your power supply, you may need to get another one, but that adapter I linked up will help you turn a molex connection into a x8 PCIE connection.
ThisBytesForYou I have a 500 watt ps m.newegg.com/products/N82E16817148054?ignorebbr=true&source=googleshopping&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-N82E16817148054&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwpDLi_3W4AIVBkSGCh0qrAHqEAQYASABEgItnvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
where do I touch them, if you are talking about seconds afterwards, It may look like I am touching them, my finger is about half an inch to and inch away
ThisBytesForYou: Actually I agree with you and I see what you mean! If the video was in 3D, I would see that your finger is actually hovering above the pins on the card! My mistake!!!
do you have to uninstall the previous drivers from you previous card before installation or can you uninstall it after you installed the new graphics card? then obviously put the latest drivers on.
Iggy Castillo yes you're right about that.. thanks again! I'm now a new subscriber to your Channel... looking forward to watching your videos to help with my new, and 1st computer build. :)
is this a good card or should i get the DT version i had a gtx 1080 Founders edition but it got destroyed by my water cooler i just got my insurance just wanna buy this as a back up and the case is it any good as corsair copy it should i get it or wait for corsairs version with the RGB fans
I got the GTX 1070 FTW, and the SuperNova 650W PSU for Christmas. I didn't uninstall the old drivers before installing card. Whenever I tunr on my PC the card beeps 4 times then stops, then 4 times, then stops, and so on. After like 30 seconds, the card fans stop spinning. I really don't know what I did wrong. :(
Hello Syndos, thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. YEs this should work, your motherboard has a x16 slot and the PCIe lanes are 3.0, so you should be fine. As for GTX cards, I would recommend this one: azon.ly/wau6
i connect a cable with 6 pin and 2pin and cable 8 pin to grafix card but when i turn it on it say connect the grafix card to pci but i already connect all🤔
how many power cables does the card need? u didnt show it in the video. i just a 1070 and idk if i should use one pcie cable with 2 8pin end or 2 cables with 8 pin
it turn out well, exept for the Ram, it isnt recognizing one of the slots, i will try to put it again, software wise i coulndt install the Intel Management Engine Interface driver for the board, every other driver worked, odd isnt it? this is my new build: pcpartpicker.com/user/Foxslink/saved/X7TWZL id appreciate your help
i switched up the rams and it still only reconizes one of them, could be that the slot came faulty? i will try the other 2 dual slots to see if they work
good news i fixed it! i tried both rams on different slots and they were fine and so were the slots ( 1 and 2) , but for some reason dual channel wasnt working before and now it is, i thought i had to change sth on the bios, i only set the XMP profile on nothing else. about the EVGA do you know how can i change the LED color?
hi so there is a offer coming for the evga 980ti sc+ at 399€ on amazon and I was planning to get it instead of the 1070, could you remember me the driver cleaner you told me one, i'm moving from the amd 390 thanks.
Hi I have a question this is very important pls answear my question um can’t u put a txt 1070 in a ibuypower gaming pc cause I think I’m getting one for ma birthday
you never have to ask me to reply, I try to always reply if you have a question, comment, concern, etc. You question is a difficult one, by saying you are buying an iBuyPower Gaming PC, thats not a lot of information. You need to make sure the PC has a power supply powerful enough to power supply, an open PCI-e slot, and the inside of the PC needs to have enough space to support the card. I would recommend speaking to the great folks at iBuyPower to see if one will fit in the case they are using, if the power supply is powerful enough to support the video car and has enough PCI-e power cables, and the correct pins for the video card and if the motherboard you are getting has a PCI-e 3.0 slot, which it should but better to be safe than sorry. I hope the PC works great for you and you have a great birthday.
I don't have that little "button" at the pci-e, still my pci-e should be 3.0. (It's about 2-3 y/o) I'm not sure so I ask: is there pci-e connectors without those buttons and shit or is my connector just pci?
your computer is capable if it has 2 x 8 Pin PCIE connectors, 6+2 connections are fine, but you need 2 of them, does your power supply have 2 of them. Look at the picture here of the video card in the review, see if you have 2 of those connectors, this image is off of my review s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/dbmediafiles/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/20123024/018-1-768x365.jpg
Iggy Castillo the psu is corsair rm 750 gold and I previously had nvidia ge force gtx 760 oc thanks for the reply m8 not many you tubers reply in the comments and that's even an "old" video ... I just saw that this video is about 1070 I ordered evga 1080 ftw lol but can you answer anyway ?
i was looking at my graph card and i didnt see any cables coming from the power supply connection to it?! am i looking at this wrong, i know that im looking at the card but i dont see the cables
The computer will not power on without PCI-E power cables connected the video card. You will need to find the cables from the power supply them plug them into the video card.
ThisBytesForYou No I dont think so. My PC was pre build. It looks like the 1080 founder edition but in full black with the nvidia logo in the middle in full black
2 things, make sure you don't have the monitor plugged into the onboard video header and make sure the input to the monitor is set to HDMI, DVI or Display port, which ever you are using.
the crashing has nothing to do with the video card, if you are overclocked turn off the overclock, put back the basic standard settings. I recommend using DisplayPort if possible, if not, HDMI should be fine. IF it makes the resolution very large, like 800x600 raise it to 1920x1080, and are the NVIDIA drivers installed?
why does this card has 16 pin? I'm looking to upgrade and i have a 650 watts power supply however I only have 8 pin power connector is that going to be a problem?
@@TechPlayReviewTPR thank you my friend, if you check this document, you will find on page 8, it shows that it brings 2 x PCI-e 6+2 Pin connections, so you should be fine. Please be sure to use the link in the descritpion, pinnned comment or posted here to buy the card, it would help me TONS Check it out on Amazon: prourls.co/hZkm cc.cnetcontent.com/inlinecontent/mediaserver/corsair/5e2/2d0/5e22d023fd3942489bc188e71472c85f/original.pdf
I'm kind of a noob when it comes to this sort of thing and I just want confirmation that if I buy this card it will come with the necessary power connectors and cables.
ThisBytesForYou Fun fact I just got my PC up and running today because of this video :) I'm downloading some of my favorite games rn and it works like a charm👌
@@connorsmith5912 very cool, so very happy I could help, and thank you so much for coming in and checking in my video and even more for commenting, it means the world to me.
500 is fine, but do you have all of the PCI-E connections plugged into the card and is the card firmly seated... what other components do you have in the PC?
SSD, processor, hard drive, sound card, etc. One thing to be certain of, some power supplies have 2 x 8 Pin connections for cpu power, like my power supply, make sure you dont have a cpu 8pin connection plugged into your video card. I also recommend removing the video card then putting it back in. Before you installed the video card, what else did you remove?
I installed a gtx 750ti on it the fans are working but the computer is having trouble When I try to install the graphics drivers it does not work ''Cannot find compatible hardware'' The Graphics card is a Gtx 750ti 2gb DDr5 vram 128bit PCi-e The motherboard is a dell 0KRC95 The computer itself is dell optiplex 7010 med tower core i5 3550 PLEASE HELP ME!!!
I always recommend the highest you can get, that way with all the upgrades you get, you will never need to buy a power supply, but that of course comes with a cost. One for this video card, that will allow you room for a bit of growth is this one: azon.ly/u69a It is not modular, because it does come with a cost, but if you want a modular one, let me know or if you want a beefy one, that will allow for any update you can think of let me know and I will link it up for you.
@@ThisBytesForYou Yeah but you poorly handle them you let your card hang by its pci e pins well pushing you power in before even screwing in your card.... just bad order of installation
My GTX 1070 is very lose and it sags in my case. Does anyone else have these problems? I'm sure I put the GPU in, my computer is booting up and the RGB on the GPU is on.
You should tighten the screws on the IO shield, but GPU sag does happen. It has not happened to me, but it does happen, maybe this would work for you: geni.us/UPxxEl
@@ThisBytesForYou The IO shield is built in so it isn't that. I didn't screen the GPU in the case, but my case is really bad so I have a hard time trying to get to that screw.
My power supply has a 8 pin VGA to a dual 6+2 pin cable, can I use that on 8 pin connected to the power supply, and then the two 6+2 pins to power the two 8 pin inputs in the graphics card? So is one 8 pin leaving the PSU enough to power the two 8 pins? Thanks!
+Iggy Castillo EVGA 650gs, i7 6700k, and gtx 1070 ftw. I guess I'm just trying to know if the 8 pin pcie connected to the psu, that leads to 2 sets of 6+2 cables, is enough power for the GPU. so technically it looks like it's a 8 pin to 16 pin, but I'm guessing if the PSU supplied the cable, then the power output would be enough to use that one cable?
+Iggy Castillo The top left cable is what should supply enough power to the single graphics card?

Iggy Castillo I was only trying to be light hearted but I guess it came across as cynical? You are definitely correct, building a PC for your first time can be a bit intimidating. The hardest part of the process for a beginner imo is trying to figure which CPU / GPU to invest in. My apologies, I meant no dissention to your video or followers. 😉
First of all the computer is filthy. Second you should use a wrist grounding strap. 3rd you should not really just jam a screw driver in that close to the motherboard. Very clumsy and bad suggestions.
which part do you feel was the epic fail because this video was meant to help people install a video card and many people are thankful in the posts below.

I know it's hard splitting the time between work , youtube and family. I wish you best of luck and a great day to you and your family!
+Iggy Castillo Your ram it's small in comparison to mine. I have the Corsair Vengeance Blue series it does look nicen they color match perfectly but they are ginormous. Almost 2 times in height compared to low profile ones. I don't know I'm pretty sold on the artic 240. If I'm lucky I will still be able to pick it up with around 70$ . Wich is a steal for such a good performing AIO.
+Catalin Ionut And my motherboard it's a bit smaller than usual ATX size. The distance between the cpu socket and the ram slots is a bit smaller. (by a 20mm maybe? )
Great video helped me alot!
damn. i literally just bought a computer and ordered a gtx 1080 for next week. I have absolutely NO knowledge of computers but I just wanted one to get into pc gaming. This makes me nervous. hopefully i'll be able to install it no problem. thanks!
how'd your first build go?
What if my current graphics card on has 1 8pin?
So do you have to take out the old card? Obviously with 4 ports you can install more than one but if I had a mediocre but okay card and was putting in a 1060 or 1070 would they work at the same time or does one card work at a time?
Can I install it to any desktop computer
New to PCs May sound like a noob but My power supply only has a 6pin connector into my gtx 1060 3gb currently.... do I have to buy a new power supply with a 8 pin adapter to run a gtx 1070?
no worries my friends, we were all noobs when we started, what makes us grow is trying new things, I am very happy you came to ask here, I love helping people. Now, you can always get an adapter like this: geni.us/aVKHw but the bigger question is, what model power supply do you have, and wattage? Please let me know the exact model number of your power supply, you may need to get another one, but that adapter I linked up will help you turn a molex connection into a x8 PCIE connection.
ThisBytesForYou I have a 500 watt ps m.newegg.com/products/N82E16817148054?ignorebbr=true&source=googleshopping&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-Mobile-_-pla-_-Power+Supplies-_-N82E16817148054&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIwpDLi_3W4AIVBkSGCh0qrAHqEAQYASABEgItnvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
@@mattparks11 ok, wattage wise it will work, the 1070 only requires a 500Watt and the adapters i linked up should be good for you.
AWESOME VIDEO VERY GOOD NICE AND CLEAN AND CLEAR MY FRIEND LOVE IT
At 5:14 "....again, don't touch those pins!" (Then touches the pins!!!!) LOL
where do I touch them, if you are talking about seconds afterwards, It may look like I am touching them, my finger is about half an inch to and inch away
ThisBytesForYou: Actually I agree with you and I see what you mean! If the video was in 3D, I would see that your finger is actually hovering above the pins on the card! My mistake!!!
no problem my friend, I completely understand ;)
Can I use a 6+2 pin connector for a gtx 1070 sc with one 8 pin port
you sure can, but you have to make sure to plug in both PCIE connections, not just one.
Hi. I got a 1650 super. I have a GTX 1050ti in there now with the latest drivers. Should I still uninstall the drivers before I put the 1650 super in?
do you have to uninstall the previous drivers from you previous card before installation or can you uninstall it after you installed the new graphics card? then obviously put the latest drivers on.
okay, thanks for the help!
but you didn't explain where the other end of the cables go
Both cables... The 6 pin, and the 8 pin... Do they both connect to the power supply from the Video card?
Wow thanks!!! yea theres no details in the asus user manual
Iggy Castillo yes you're right about that.. thanks again! I'm now a new subscriber to your Channel... looking forward to watching your videos to help with my new, and 1st computer build. :)
Question can this card run well with a stock 460 power supply (Dell 8700)?
thx for reply I've watched about the founders edition and it can run well with the 460, I was just wondering about your opinion.
Great Video! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for your kind words Marc Hankel, very happy I could help.
Hello, can I ask, I can buy the evga GTX 1070 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 graphics card. It has faults?
Hey I'm not very tecky but my pci-e cable had one with 8 slots and one with 6, would that be a problem ?
is this a good card or should i get the DT version i had a gtx 1080 Founders edition but it got destroyed by my water cooler i just got my insurance just wanna buy this as a back up and the case is it any good as corsair copy it should i get it or wait for corsairs version with the RGB fans
yea im about to buy it. was loving this case as it looks just like corsairs 460X RGB case but i like the temp in the back of it also
If you touch the gold strip is there way to clean it?
Thank you for the help!
Specific case not Pacific
if I said pacific, it was purely by accident, not on purpose
I got the GTX 1070 FTW, and the SuperNova 650W PSU for Christmas. I didn't uninstall the old drivers before installing card. Whenever I tunr on my PC the card beeps 4 times then stops, then 4 times, then stops, and so on. After like 30 seconds, the card fans stop spinning. I really don't know what I did wrong. :(
Where did you get the cables that supplied power to the 1070?
What about the cables that came with the gpu itself? I have the same model as the one shown in the video btw
Will a gtx 1080 work on my Z97M-D3H motherboard??
Hello Syndos, thank you so much for stopping by and commenting. YEs this should work, your motherboard has a x16 slot and the PCIe lanes are 3.0, so you should be fine. As for GTX cards, I would recommend this one: azon.ly/wau6
i connect a cable with 6 pin and 2pin and cable 8 pin to grafix card but when i turn it on it say connect the grafix card to pci but i already connect all🤔
how many power cables does the card need? u didnt show it in the video. i just a 1070 and idk if i should use one pcie cable with 2 8pin end or 2 cables with 8 pin
Iggy Castillo thanks man, time to put this new rig to the test
it turn out well, exept for the Ram, it isnt recognizing one of the slots, i will try to put it again, software wise i coulndt install the Intel Management Engine Interface driver for the board, every other driver worked, odd isnt it?
this is my new build: pcpartpicker.com/user/Foxslink/saved/X7TWZL
id appreciate your help
i switched up the rams and it still only reconizes one of them, could be that the slot came faulty? i will try the other 2 dual slots to see if they work
good news i fixed it! i tried both rams on different slots and they were fine and so were the slots ( 1 and 2) , but for some reason dual channel wasnt working before and now it is, i thought i had to change sth on the bios, i only set the XMP profile on nothing else.
about the EVGA do you know how can i change the LED color?
what if the card your upgrading to has different pcie connectors
Iggy Castillo thank you
hi so there is a offer coming for the evga 980ti sc+ at 399€ on amazon and I was planning to get it instead of the 1070, could you remember me the driver cleaner you told me one, i'm moving from the amd 390 thanks.
***** thanks!
Hi I have a question this is very important pls answear my question um can’t u put a txt 1070 in a ibuypower gaming pc cause I think I’m getting one for ma birthday
you never have to ask me to reply, I try to always reply if you have a question, comment, concern, etc. You question is a difficult one, by saying you are buying an iBuyPower Gaming PC, thats not a lot of information. You need to make sure the PC has a power supply powerful enough to power supply, an open PCI-e slot, and the inside of the PC needs to have enough space to support the card. I would recommend speaking to the great folks at iBuyPower to see if one will fit in the case they are using, if the power supply is powerful enough to support the video car and has enough PCI-e power cables, and the correct pins for the video card and if the motherboard you are getting has a PCI-e 3.0 slot, which it should but better to be safe than sorry. I hope the PC works great for you and you have a great birthday.
U da greatness
haha, thank you Deverryl Gipson, I truly appreciate your kind words and I am very happy I could help.
Do you think my 750w power supply has the cables? I dont even know what kind of cables you need to have and plug in.
***** I have an EVGA Power
so what happens when i touch the gold pins
Iggy Castillo well i touched it so many times it didnt affect anything mine is working fine
I don't have that little "button" at the pci-e, still my pci-e should be 3.0. (It's about 2-3 y/o) I'm not sure so I ask: is there pci-e connectors without those buttons and shit or is my connector just pci?
Iggy Castillo Ok thank you!
thanks
my evga 1070 8gb only one PCI-E
If I were to buy this GPU would I be able to install it? My power supply is 600w
I also have the 6+2 pins so i dont know
that works also
iggy castillo so my computer is capable?
your computer is capable if it has 2 x 8 Pin PCIE connectors, 6+2 connections are fine, but you need 2 of them, does your power supply have 2 of them. Look at the picture here of the video card in the review, see if you have 2 of those connectors, this image is off of my review

helpful tutorial. Thanks a lot!
You are so very welcome my friend, I am very happy I could help.
i was looking at my graph card and i didnt see any cables coming from the power supply connection to it?! am i looking at this wrong, i know that im looking at the card but i dont see the cables
The computer will not power on without PCI-E power cables connected the video card. You will need to find the cables from the power supply them plug them into the video card.
If my motherboard is compatible with the GTX 1060 GeForce 3gb is the GTX ZOTAC MINI 8gb DDR5 going to be compatible?
GTX Zotac Mini 8GB DDR5, is it still the GTX1060, this one?: geni.us/qIJiW0, if so yes it should work.
ThisBytesForYou No its the gtx 1060 3gb GeForce

Thx so much
you are very welcome my friend, so very happy I could help you.
ThisBytesForYou I have 1 problem so I put it all in and everything then I turn on my pc and it won’t connect to my monitor
2 things, make sure you don't have the monitor plugged into the onboard video header and make sure the input to the monitor is set to HDMI, DVI or Display port, which ever you are using.
ThisBytesForYou I have a hdmi cable but it make my screen very large and crashes my game what cord do you suggest me using I thought about a dvi
the crashing has nothing to do with the video card, if you are overclocked turn off the overclock, put back the basic standard settings. I recommend using DisplayPort if possible, if not, HDMI should be fine. IF it makes the resolution very large, like 800x600 raise it to 1920x1080, and are the NVIDIA drivers installed?
why does this card has 16 pin?
I'm looking to upgrade and i have a 650 watts power supply however I only have 8 pin power connector is that going to be a problem?
what is the model number and manufacture of your power supply?

I just got a 1070 card but my pc won’t turn on anymore, my power supply is only 500w do I need to get a stronger power supply???
500 is fine, but do you have all of the PCI-E connections plugged into the card and is the card firmly seated... what other components do you have in the PC?
ThisBytesForYou everything is plugged in correctly and what do you mean other components??
SSD, processor, hard drive, sound card, etc. One thing to be certain of, some power supplies have 2 x 8 Pin connections for cpu power, like my power supply, make sure you dont have a cpu 8pin connection plugged into your video card. I also recommend removing the video card then putting it back in. Before you installed the video card, what else did you remove?
ThisBytesForYou all I removed was the old card and plugged in my new one and when I hit power nothing happened
sounds stupid, but verify you have the power cable in the power supply and you have the power supply switched on
9:17 bending that card while tucking the 8 pin in hahaha fuck

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
sorry I did not see this message earlier, if you are still having this issue, what version of windows are you using, and bit version too?
Awesome vid :)
what power supply would you recommend for a EVGA 1070 TI superclocked
I always recommend the highest you can get, that way with all the upgrades you get, you will never need to buy a power supply, but that of course comes with a cost. One for this video card, that will allow you room for a bit of growth is this one: azon.ly/u69a
It is not modular, because it does come with a cost, but if you want a modular one, let me know or if you want a beefy one, that will allow for any update you can think of let me know and I will link it up for you.
My graphics card didn’t had pcie cables
they would not come with cables, but adapters to help convert it from one cable to another, what power supply do you have, the make and model number?

My GTX 1070 is very lose and it sags in my case. Does anyone else have these problems? I'm sure I put the GPU in, my computer is booting up and the RGB on the GPU is on.
You should tighten the screws on the IO shield, but GPU sag does happen. It has not happened to me, but it does happen, maybe this would work for you: geni.us/UPxxEl
@@ThisBytesForYou The IO shield is built in so it isn't that. I didn't screen the GPU in the case, but my case is really bad so I have a hard time trying to get to that screw.

My power supply has a 8 pin VGA to a dual 6+2 pin cable, can I use that on 8 pin connected to the power supply, and then the two 6+2 pins to power the two 8 pin inputs in the graphics card?
So is one 8 pin leaving the PSU enough to power the two 8 pins? Thanks!
+Iggy Castillo Yeah, the PSU cable is 8, and then it leads to two 6+2 pins on the end.
+Iggy Castillo www.thermaltakeusa.com/Power_Supply_/Accessories_/PSU_Cable/C_00002413/CPU_8Pin_to_Dual_PCI_E_6_2Pin_Splitter_Cable/design.htm
+Iggy Castillo Something like that.
+Iggy Castillo EVGA 650gs, i7 6700k, and gtx 1070 ftw.
I guess I'm just trying to know if the 8 pin pcie connected to the psu, that leads to 2 sets of 6+2 cables, is enough power for the GPU.
so technically it looks like it's a 8 pin to 16 pin, but I'm guessing if the PSU supplied the cable, then the power output would be enough to use that one cable?
+Iggy Castillo The top left cable is what should supply enough power to the single graphics card?

What if i only have 14 pins because i have a gtx 1060 and that only uses 6 this one and this one uses 16
i think this is the scaryiest thing i would do'
Iggy Castillo I was only trying to be light hearted but I guess it came across as cynical? You are definitely correct, building a PC for your first time can be a bit intimidating. The hardest part of the process for a beginner imo is trying to figure which CPU / GPU to invest in. My apologies, I meant no dissention to your video or followers. 😉
First of all the computer is filthy. Second you should use a wrist grounding strap. 3rd you should not really just jam a screw driver in that close to the motherboard. Very clumsy and bad suggestions.
Lol epic fail
which part do you feel was the epic fail because this video was meant to help people install a video card and many people are thankful in the posts below.
