This NVIDIA's latest Geforce RTX 4090, the Gigabyte GV-N4090GAMING OC-24GD Video Card, this is a How to installing the Geforce RTX 4090 in a Gaming PC Build Guide, specifically the GV-N4090GAMING OC-24GD. We go over how to install a graphics card into your PC. The 12VHPWR cable was a little concerning, its VERY frail.
This was the title, saving it incase the new title does not work "RTX 4090 - We ran into some issues installing the Gigabyte Geforce RTX 4090 Graphics Card". An RTX 4090 install for a Gigabyte 4090, more specifically the Gigabyte 4090 Gaming OC or the gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC since we go over how to install 4090.
The process to install the Geforce RTX 4080 will be the same, but you will connect 1 less PCIE cable since it won't use 4 PCIE cables in the adapter since the adapter only has 3. We show the proper method to connect the 12VHPWR Adapter Cable, click since day 1.

First channel I came across where the wiring of the power supply to the graphics card was done slowly and great lighting. I feel more confident now once I receive my 4070 ti and installing the card. Thank you for the time (& great lighting) in making this video.
Awesome my friend, so very happy you enjoyed the video and thank you so much for the sub and support, thank you even more for a taking a minute out of your day to come back to tell me thank you and it helped you, it means so much to me. Thank you. Lighting is REALLY difficult, aside from my main lights, for these I have 2 battery operated batteries, mini ones on mini stands lighting under the card,6 lights for all of this, but I try really hard to show it all, so very happy it came through.

Great vid and nice attention to detail. Tip for next time : Levelling the case before levelling the gpu is something to think about. You can see the whole case wobbeling on that flimpsy plateau when u were trying to level the GPU...
thanks and yes, I usually have it leveled, as you may have noticed I had it on a lazy susan I built, depending on where I have it placed, it tilts, like you saw here or falling off the desk (its a tremendous case, and a small desk). Outside looking in, it makes sense, when you are in it, its a little more difficult.
This was the video I was looking for. need to make sure before I took out my 4090 and put back in my 3080ti that I don't have any left over drivers from the 4090 :)
Ahhh good stuff my friend, I got tons of them haha, so thankful I could help. If you haven't already, please do like and sub, it helps a ton and I am sure you already know I have more videos that can help. If you don't see it, let me know on something you need help with and I will see if it makes sense to create it.
Fantastic video... Thanks for the detailed and precise instructions

I certainly will... I just have one question... the GPU barely fits into Mt case and the right side of it touches the CPU cooler's radiator vents... will this cause issues for the gpu?
hard for me to know what you are talking about trying to picture it, take a pic of your system and how that looks and send it to my email, iggy@thisbytesforyou.com, we chat here on youtube, but I want to see that pic
Great video. Thanks :)

Good job thanks man! Nice anti sag telefphone pole ;-) I understand that fits your build. Must say oem anti sag bracket of 4090 gaming oc is awsome if your build can include it. Love this model 4090 for me it was the sweetspot in the 4090 market. On the "cheaper";-) side but with top tier vapor chamber maxed out cooling radiator design. When i'm gaming i dont look at the dull plastic shroud, I thouroughly enjoy my graphics! ;-)
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me.

I have another solution I plan to release soon for anti sag, in the meatime you may enjoy this video: ua-cam.com/video/hyEJz56yg24/v-deo.html, yeah the 4090 is amazing.
Thanks!
Wow, thanks so much my friend, it means the world to me.
Thank you for saying about the pcie cables with the second 8pin! I got so damn confused for a second haha

I ordered mine! should arrive the next couple days. I am so excited and worried at the same time. I wouldn't want it to burn on me lol. This video helped me, I'll make sure I'll watch it for when my GPU arrives!
That's awesome to hear my friend, and thank you so much for letting me know.

It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Excited for you.
@@ThisBytesForYou You're welcome friend. One of my concerns is whether I should be using Corsair's 600w 12-pin adapter instead of the one that comes with the card or not. I've heard it gives a much better cable management, although I doubt it'll be safer. I will have to think it through until my card gets here.
yes, use the corsair one
@@ThisBytesForYou Dude! the card arrived today and I instantly skipped Nvidia's adapter and plugged Corsair's 600w one. So everything turned out to be okay, so far anyway! The card is freaking ridiculous. I am literally blown away and your video helped me TONS.
Card wont reach more than 55 celcius in temperature. I just plugged it in, nothing from Bios, and played. The bracket is a MUST though! This thing is HEAVY.
I will stress test it on some Cyberpunk tomorrow!
Thanks for helping me decide between the two adapters and for providing such a helpful video to guide me through the whole process. God bless and keep up the good work!
Awesome my friend, so very happy I could help you and I am so very happy you found it beneficial, are you playing the new Cyberpunk, I haven't played it yet, the new one, O played the original. @@cellfactor100user4
Now that's a beautiful graphics card!
It really is nice yes
Great video!!!
thanks so much bud, so very happy you enjoyed it.
Awesome video man, any plans to show some gameplay performance vids with it?
yes, trying to get caught up and thanks so much for your kind words
Came to see how the regular anti sag thing had to be installed. But now I'm looking for the one you're using. Saves me alot of trouble.
awesome my friend, happy you enjoyed it, you can find it in the description, I give you a global amazon affiliate link.,, Check it out
the regular anti sag bracket that comes with the GPU is attached to the motherboard, the two screws on the right side are removed and replaced with the standoffs, so that would be bottom right and center right. Mine came with 4 standoffs, 2 sets of 2, make sure to use the ones that have the same thread size as the screws you removed from the motherboard. I had to file the corner of the top part bracket a bit as it was touching one of the PC case plugs that attached to the MB. Make sure to use the washers as indicated in the directions, when finished it looks and works great The graphics card covers a lot of space, mine is over all my M.2 locations so luckily I had the last one I needed so I would not have to remove the GPU again to install it, something you might want to consider so you only have to do it once.
I didn't realize it when I went to install it, I thought it was different but yeah I realized afterwards.
I'm sure they'll make a better adaptor for the power connections when they get enough complaints about it shorting out and some even melting! Great video! 😎👍
YES, NVIDIA is in talks about it, but I have also purchased one adapter from Cablemods, being made (they take FOREVER but I get it) and have the newer one on reserve, always working on bigger and better, thanks again my friend.
@@ThisBytesForYou You know it bro. 👍 Also that's great to hear that they're moving fast to address the cable issue. I look forward to getting one of these cards one day to future proof my gaming system. You're videos will keep me informed and updated in the meantime!😁😁
Thanks so much my friend, I do appreciate it and I am so very happy I can continue to help you and you enjoy these videos.
The Nvidia drama just got worse as Tom’s Hardware has reported on an Nvidia RTX 4090 power connector meltdown. This comes hot on the heels of stories of the GPU’s 16-pin power adapter overheating and melting.
@@pietklaasens7711 still not having issues and I just did another build video with it, I have stressed with it for hours, for a few days, no issues. Not saying there isn't an issue, clearly there is, a horribly designed adapter, but It's not all of them.
You're right about cleaning/removing drivers with DDU. I tried updating my 2070 Super drivers and it failed and gave me a headache of problems and blue screens. Discovered DDU and ran it, reinstalled the GPU driver, and it works perfectly again.
I'll be doing this again when I get an RTX 4090.
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. DDU is awesome and great for preventing headaches ;)
Very nice video. Your explanation step by step is great. As a VGA stand, I can recommend the following from my own experience. This does not bend so quickly due to the lateral load.
Thanks so much for your support and checking out the video, it means a ton to me. I have been using this stand for over a year with a 3090 in my main rig and with the 3080 TI in several builds, and its still solid, its a GREAT stand, the 4090 is only slightly heavier than a 3080 TI, from my own experience ;)
I approved your link, but I don't know where it went. I have seen that one, and it does look nice, but I am not a fan of the looks, I will order one and check it out, thanks.
it came through, just took a year or 2, but I ordered a set of similar ones (those aren't available in the US), I will do another sag bracket video, if you didn't see the first one, you will giggle: ua-cam.com/video/hyEJz56yg24/v-deo.html
@@ThisBytesForYou very nice intro. And it is so important for the graphics card to prevent it from sagging. I don't understand the people, who spend a lot of money for a very expensive graphics card, and the don't use an bracket or stand. When you look into the case, the card hangs there like a limp noodle. So i look forward to a new video of yours.
@@yukonwolve78 Thanks so much Movik for your kind words and support, it means the world to me. I am thinking to make a follow up video, maybe a short, answering a lot of the questions I am getting about this, though I am still working on benchmarking and such for this and a lot more videos on it. I also ordered new support brackets to test
Followed your instructions to a T. Upgraded my 1080ti to the aero version 4090

I can't even begin to tell you how THANKFUL! i am for this video.
I upgraded from a 3090 to 4090. Slapped it in. Updated my drivers as usual... my colors were SO bright and washed out. I was starting to think it was the card. Thank yo so much for this tutorial! 🙏

thank you for the video ! got one question do i need to enable the ECC with only video edit ? just got the gpu i don't know anything about settings ;) thank you for you help , mark
Always a pleasure my friend, so very happy you stopped by, trusted in me to help you, liked and subbed as well as took a moment out of your day to thank me. It means a ton to me and I am so very happy I could help you. Nah, I haven't seen a need. ECC would make the memory slower, since it would be correcting potential issues, but at the speed, you probably wouldn't notice it but I leave it off.
@@ThisBytesForYou ok , i leave it off ! thank you for the fast reply !
always a pleasure my friend

FINALLY, somebody measure this on cooling block.
So very happy you enjoyed it bud
Hey man, the gigabyte sag bracket doesn't screw into the case where you pointed out in this video. It screws into your motherboard's 2 corner screws. You should be fine to install that and get rid of the kickstand one you have.
meh, the kick stand works well, I have to try it again though, thanks for letting me know
Damn is a monster graphics card 😳 great video like always
it is for sure, thanks so much. Sucks I had the issues, but I figured out what it was unfortunately as I was editing the video, so I could not take it back. The stand, well, I need to figure out that one separately, kind of a bad design, but it is what it is. Thanks so much for your kind words.
I have the same card but a different (although similar sized) case TD500 Crystal/Mesh.
Also have the same issue with the GPU-PSU connector cable slightly pressing up the glass due to the case not having enough clearance width.
When using the card for several hours (say in a game or benchmark) you can feel the heat spot on that portion of the glass (vs rest of the glass which is still cool).
Potentially might be an issue that would cause the wires/connector to fry in the future.
Looking at getting a ATX3/PCIe 5 PSU in the new year once they become widely available as a workaround ( has a native 12VHPWR port in it so you can run a single cable to the GPU instead of the 4-1 connector thing, which means it takes up slightly less space and is less likely to press up against the glass with a massive bend). Other option is a new Case with more width clearance, though not sure about what one would be suitable.
I will get one at some point to review, the PCIE5 cable, but I feel that this connection will get a re-work and the PCIE5 connection will get a revamp, though there are several making right angled connections coming soon that will help, so stay tuned for that, I will have it here once available, make sure to subscribe so you get notified. This cable will make the 12VHPWR a better option, though still not as good as the PCIE connections we have been using for years, durability wise at least. Stay tuned my friend, a lot coming on this.
Wow, four PCI-E cables just for power. I went with a new power supply for my 4080, it has a 600W power plug for nVidia GPUs. It's clean.
You have a good case for the 4090, I barely fit my 4080 in, these 40 series cards are huge.
You should see the new video I am working on, same card, but only 1 cable, MUCH nicer, stay tuned my friend, if you are not subscribed, please subscribe so you get notified, I come out with videos like this weekly. And yeah, I LOVE this case for sure.
Resetting the CMOS by disconnecting the battery of the motherboard is very important as well. My freaking motherboard only recognised my old gpu until I clear the CMOS
That may have been because you had PCIE Gen set to x1, x2, x3, etc
you are the best, my guy. I always look directly for you when I need to work on my pc. Thanks for always making detailed, high-quality videos. 🙏

Just ordered the Gigabyte Gaming OC 4080 yesterday and I will have it tomorrow. Very excited.
I almost got the Gaming X Trio, but chose the Gaming OC because of Gigabytes RGB software that I already use for all my RGB since I have a Gigabyte motherboard and I don't want 3rd party RGB software. Gigabyte fusion is a pain tho. I have it set to run at start up so it sets my RGB to the right color at boot, but it never works and I have to hit "exit" on the Gigabyte software install suggestions for it to change. The RGB options are very basic and you have to calibrate it so the colors show up correct. This way I can use 1 program for all my RGB no matter how annoying it is.
There might be an RGB change to windows, which could help out TONS but yeah, Fusion is a MESS but the card is really nice, no complaints what so ever. So very happy you enjoyed the video my friend and let me know what you think of the card when you get it.
My card didn't come with that pole thingy.. I think you re-used the one that came with your previous card? ..or I'm missing something
What did you do with the pieces you showed us at 04:50? You show a lot of screws ( 03:58 ) but you don't use any
No, I don't use any since I did not use the support bracket they provided, I used my own, which you can find here on my Amazon Affiliate link: geni.us/1rfR0lD
I think their solution is nice, but like with my case, may have issues on other cases. The pole was something I bought previously and I needed to use here, but its VERY affordable and I have been using them for over a year, one in my main system wit a 3090, one in the 3080 builds and others for other builds, I have like 5 of them.
My upgrade was just like yours... same EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 to the exactly same Gigabyte RTX 4090 Gaming OC, and the same case (looks like the same for me the Corsair 5000X)! Great video!
this is the corsair 7000D, but I have the 5000D for my workstation and yeah, great case, awesome bud, I hope this video help you.
Doing the same upgrade I’ll miss my evga card but i have a phanteks evolve x case. Im just really scared about the adapter and 16 pin connection🔥😭. I have a evag p2 1300 watt psu and i need to order the cable for the 16 pin for my psu. I was using a p2 750 that worked fine with my 5950x ftw3 3080ti but i also picked up a 5800x3d for $320 a week ago. Probably stick my 5950x with the ti and put the x3d with the 4090. Im also nervous about gigabytes support I’ve heard many horror stories that’s why i liked evga best support in the business. But 4 years when registered is a year longer than most just hope everything goes fine I’ve never spent this much on a gpu. I need to sell some gpu’s I’m starting to hoard pc parts.
@@ChadKenova So I am scared, not because of the card but because of everyone hyping up the issue. If you treat it right, don't have a$$ the install, you should be good, should.... mind you it hasn't happened to me but I think its being hyped up a lot and people are causing them to fail on purpose to get free stuff, attention and potentially bring some hate to NVIDIA. I would love to tell you its fake, but it's not, I just think its out of proportion. But yes, EVGA will truly be missed in this segment.
@@ThisBytesForYou yea i guess as long as you don’t bend it to far and make sure the connectors are plugged in tight it should be fine
@@ChadKenova yup, so far so good, but I will definitely report back if something happens and when NVIDIA updates their cable and when there is a newer adapter, although you may like this short: ua-cam.com/users/shortsej1r37TQuoE even though its not the latest one (since it hasn't been released) but it is better
Just bought this from Best Buy for 1700, not a bad price considering they are out of stock at Microcenter and 2500 everywhere else. Super exited!!!
Sweet, I hope this video helps you.
Luuucky!😂
sure is@@JudgeMarQ
wow the amount of power the 4090 uses is mad i can tell by the cables going to it lol
you will see more on this hopefully soon
Hey man
Since the hot topic is power connectors at the moment, i have to say, the 12pin plug and that horrible connector from the 30 series FE was the single reason i went for an AIB partner card. And now it's twice as bad with the 40 series! It looks horrible, plus it causes completely unnecessary issues with install and tight bends, not too mention the issues seen recently with compromised connection quality leading to overheating pins.
At least with the EVGA power supply, you get pcie cables that don't have those horrible daisy chain connectors. Again, that's the reason i specifically chose an EVGA PSU - the 750W model has 4x single pcie cables, which makes for a really neat install without those pointless daisy chain connectors dangling about. I don't really understand why the 850w and higher psu have 2x single and 2x double pcie connectors (who needs more than 4!?) But at least it isn't like the corsair PSU i have seen where every single pcie cable is daisy chained (and yet everyone advises not to use a daisy chain but instead use a separate cable!!). Imagine that adapter with 4 seperate cables going in, each one with a dangly daisy chain coming off. Literally no point getting your gpu to look good with all that crap hanging off it.
Anyway, rant over. That's a nice looking card, much better than the 30 series gigabyte which i found both plain and ugly at the same time somehow.
I'm gonna wait for the early problems to get sorted, plus there's the AMD launch next week. Thinking potentially 4070 next year or maybe switch out to 7700xt. Hopefully those won't have the stupid power connector!!
completely agree, I find it toally stupid for anything about 850 to have only 2, all the power supplies I have, (3 different EVGA ones) are 1000Watt and have 4 or more PCIE connections, a 1200Watt I had only had 3 but it was 15 years old, I gave it to a friend, he is still using it.
Its a sweeet card, but that connection kills me, it feels like carboard its soooo weak.
That tower is massive.
Yup, I picked it because I knew it would fit but I didn't realize it would fit so well, thanks brother for checking it out.
Thanks
Always a pleasure my friend, and I thank you so much but not only for thanking me but for supporting me and my channel, it means so much to me and helps so much. Thanks again my friend.

Congrats on your new 4090
thanks so much my friend, but I bought it for the channel, not really for me, so that I can help people that bought it or are thinking about buying, I am trying to keep the channel growing.
@ThisBytesForYou I heard nightmares about the melting problem, and that cable is very brittle I own a 3090ti and I have the same cable that comes with the 4090 so I am worried as well, never had problems with it.
@@faris9327 yes, all over the internet, and trolls come here often to tell me how I have done wrong and blah blah, oh well, hahah. When you have the adapter in hand, you can feel how brittle it is, or at least I can, and you can tell if what you are doing is good or bad, I show you this in the video, but there will be more on this please stay tuned.
nvidia adapters are melting is this problem only on rtx 4090 or other models ??
yes, this is true, though it still hasn't happened to me, luck or being careful as I go with all my installs,... I guess we will find out over time. As for other models,... I can't say as I only have one.
29:39 soo how come when i play some games at 165 don’t look as good as 144hz trucking sim is weird looking when i look around im really confused
1. What kind of cable are you using for 165hz, HDMI or DP?
2. What is the manufacturer and model number of your monitor
3. What is the manufacturer and model number of your graphics card?
just got mine in the mail today!!! card is huggge! support bracket it comes with sure makes it sturdy 100%
yup for sure, but the one I used here did great, such a beast of a card for sure.
@@ThisBytesForYou im suprised how quiet the gigabyte 4090 is compared to the other cards,...no coil noise at all🤗
well, that isn't a gigabyte specific thing, that can happen with gigabyte or any card, it's kind of luck of the draw but yeah, even if it had coil wine, it is very quiet for sure@@thatonegamer2709
My previous 3090 only needed 2 (8) pin cables, the adapter that comes with the 4090 has 4(8) pin connectors, do i only plug the 2 (8) that i have?
I go over this in the video
Does this GPU block the second PCIE? Wondering if I'll be able to install my sound card or if I'll have to buy an external dac?🤔
it all depends on your motherboard, check out the video to know.
Excellent video. Helped me a lot today installing my 4090. My PSU has 3 pci cables and a pig tail for the 4th. I used the pigtail. Is this ok?
Thanks my friend, what is the manufacturer and model number of your psu
@@ThisBytesForYou Cooler Master MWE Gold 850
man, they are stingly on them.... I only see 2 PCIE cables, the other one would be an 8Pin EPS cable, meant for your CPU, NOT your GPU, that can kill your card. I have been using the EVGA 1000Watts for about 7 years, no issues, and have been using 1000 and 1200 watt power supplies for over 15 years (yes, the same power supplies, I haven't needed to replace them), these are the ones I recommend and they will have all the cables you need, it's off of my Amazon affiliate link as well, and its the PSU I use in this video: geni.us/v9Vo

@@marksciaruto5026 anytime bud, happy I could help.
Hello dear Sir! Thanks for this video! I have a problem. Can you tell me please, will I be able to install this video card freely into an Lian Li O11 Dynamic ROG XL-W case, if I use the native PSU cables from be quiet! Straight Power 12 1200W?
This card is 340mm and this case supports up to 446mm. That power supply should have a 12VHPWR cable, please look in the box, that is all you will need. If not, it has 4 separate PCIE cables where you can use 1 of the 6+2 cables in the 12VHPWR like I show you in this video
@@ThisBytesForYou Thanks so much for the reply! The only reason I'm worried is the width of the hull. It is 285 mm. Will the video card fit without bending the cable horizontally?
ohhhhh, stupid me, I am sorry, totally forget about the width, well the case can only support 169mm, the card is 150.2mm, so you have space BUT the PCIE cable can cause issues, but if you have the VERTICAL GPU HOLDER sold separately you will be fine, here is the adapter, compatible with PCIE 4.0 off of my Global Amazon affiliate link: geni.us/BKO2a sorry I forgot about that my friend. @NikolayYunkevich @@nikolay_yunkevich
Very detailed video. Good advice on the ddu driver removal.
That power connector is not inspiring any confidence in its reliability.
Someone needs to come out with a right angle power connector.
Itx or small form factor builds are going to be fire hazards with this connector.
Great content ❤
thanks so much my friend, so very happy you enjoyed it. Sorry if the DDU talk sounded a bit off, I get comments on it all the time "but do I really need to do it" and hopefully the frustration comes through a little haha.
The connector feels as strong as construction paper, it was not tough at all, very scary.
Cablemods come out with one, I will get later which looks very nice.
Wowzers. I replied to your comment and it may have gotten removed 😑
UA-cam moderation is terrible.
odd, I didn't see it, sorry dude, I checked comments "Held for review" but nothing in there either.
@@ThisBytesForYou
The ddu talk was fine. The other option is too not do it and then spend hours in forums looking for help on a 5 mins driver removal and reinstall.
MNPTECH might also have the right angle connector in the future. They have a 24pin right angle connector and a gpu support bracket that I use in my own system.
I don’t know what your audio setup is like. Audeze will be having their annual Black Friday week sale. Which usually means 50% off their bstock.
That’s a significant savings for their gear.
for headphones or do you mean for a microphone? I have a RODE VIdeo Micro Pro, which is awesome, but I do have some echo in the room, I know that, I have added noise pads, but I think I need to do some more, but since I am right in front of the wall, its a bit difficult
nice build bro!!!! what case is that????
Thanks bud, I do appreciate it, you can find everything in this build in the description

Taht is a beautiful and huuuge gravis card!
Thank you so much my friend, I truly appreciate your kind words and your support, it means the world to me.
I wish you would have also shown the anti sag that came with the system.
Don't remember why I couldn't, but thats OK, I have this one with more options ua-cam.com/video/hyEJz56yg24/v-deo.htmlsi=jNJw2LB3ihyd6JI5
I thought you didnt have to plug in the 4th adaper if you arnt using 600w? Gamers Nexus said just leave the 4th one hanging if you do not plan on overclocking and using up to 600w.
Another thing, I have the same gpu but mine came with a different sag bracket. I had to attach it to the mobo then onto the gpu.
So both of the things you mention I go over in the video, why I did them the way I did them, did you watch the video?
Help me choose between two graphic cards GeForce 4090 WINDFORCE V2 24G and GeForce 4090 GAMING OC 24G, I need it for work with graphics and generate photos in AI
Well the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING OC 24G is a little faster, but it is a little longer, L=340 W=150.2 H=75.2 mm on this card vs L=331 W=136 H=55.5 mm on the GeForce 4090 WINDFORCE V2 24G, I would go for the GeForce RTX 4090 GAMING OC 24G since its faster but only a tiny but 2535 vs 2520 and the cooler looks nicer on the OC.

We have similar build, but I have been having 4090 drivers crashing. I followed your instructions on installing the latest driver, but is no good. I heard from PC forums that some 4080\4090 have some bad batch gpus. If so I need to find out if my gpu is going bad while I'm still within the return window.

4. Video Card - manufacturer and exact model number
5. Power supply - manufacturer and exact model number
6. Monitor - manufacturer and exact model number
Redundant I know, but many people forget to enter manufacturer and exact model number
7. Do you have ALL of the PCIE connections plugged in, and not daisy chained or pigtailed, each coming directly from the power supply?
8. Are you running through HDMI, DP, DVI, VGA, any adapters?
9. UEFI in the BIOS from Legacy. If it was set to Legacy, you will need to reinstall windows to get correct support.
10. Disable CSM in the BIOS
11. Installed latest supported chipset driver?
12. Have you disabled Fast Boot within Windows?
Why leave the psu power cable plugged in? Why not flip switch AND unplugged the psu power cable?
You could, but flicked on would be ground, just a little extra
hey so my what do i do if I were only given three and not four PCIe cables? For some reason I was only given three...
you can use 3, but you will not be provided additional power needed for overclocking, not a big deal for most.
u didnt show how to install the sag bracket that came with the card... ???

Just wanted to ask you one of the option at 14:38 in the video is not showing on you video “ keep nvidia control panel global/program setting” it was unchecked. Do I need to check this one or leave it unchecked?
the only one I have uncheckd is "Store config file in roaming folder" and "Enable Safe mode dialog (no recommended until you tested safe mode manually). If that check mark is in the latest version, uncheck it, you dont want to keep anything when you are removing drivers (unless its AMD)

Installed the same Gigabyte 4090 to replace a 3080 that powered 3x 32”2560x1440 monitors and a G2 VR headset. Used the motherboard HDMI port for 4th monitor in 1080p.
I performed the DDU driver removal on my Sim Racing rig and now the motherboard HDMI port doesn’t recognize. If I plug an HDMI cable to the motherboard HDMI port, the 3 monitors connected to the 4090 loses signal.
Any advice please?
The port on the motherboard would be utilizing Intel or AMD graphics, depending on the chipset and processor, so you would need to reinstall whichever driver that is. Generally when there is a video card people don't use the onboard video as it is generally horrible even at 1080p.
@@ThisBytesForYou Agreed, it’s horrible but, the 4th monitor is only used to show Standings, Lap times, etc… also my Discord screen. I will reinstall the Intel video drivers. Appreciate the quick reply and will provide an update tomorrow. Thanks

14:37 What happens when you have a nvidia card inside a Amd motherboard ? Well I checked to see what drivers were in DM and saw Both Nvidia and Amd drivers installed.. So I went through the step twice to removed both drivers! so I selected Nvidia first ( on the right button ) to get rid of that driver first then rebooted back into safe mode again and then selected Amd and clean that one as well then rebooted again and then proceeded to installed the new nvidia drivers.
I go over that in the video. I don't know why you removed both but it won't hurt. Hopefully you did it like I showed you so you wouldn't remove the chipset driver.

How did the anti sag bracket hold up? I'm in the same boat as you with my case.
The antisag bracket I brought in, actually did well, I will be introducing a new one in my new build either later this week or next, thanks for remdining me, stay tuned my friend.
I see you breezed past which cables connect where on the power supply. I see we have THREE cables from the 4090--that need to connect to my power supply's ONE port. I was waiting to see how you handled it.
Thought I went over it well, can't please them all, the 4090 likes 4 separate cables into one it can work with 3 but cannot be overclock. So, you would have seen there was 4 cables and you saw how I handled it, let me know if you find a video that goes over this better.
The moment of the video was seeing the bend of the cabling. Potential replacement cable/connector to be anticipated from nVidia's investigation of the systems that flamed (arcs likely) due potentially to failed solder joints from the force from bending the cables. Nice that you held the cable in one hand when you bent them ... yet it has been demonstrated by some firms already that even doing that is not adequate and the risk of fire remains. Certain Power Supply (PSU) vendors with certain models that provide the needed cabling, potentially addresses the issue. Little surprised that you did not mention this whole situation during your install, with very high emphasis on extreme caution in this area. Many folks are warning that pending nVidia's investigation, that users should be extremely cautious, even to the point of not leaving the system running unattended.
I've seen all the videos as well, but if you look at the date of this video, it was well before that was caught/reported, so you shouldn't be surprised. Also, I NEVER have my machines on if I am not in front of them, I don't like wasting power, also, I have stressed this machine for over 24 hours pulling at least 634 watts and so far so good. I am surprised with such a thorough article written you did not evaluate the date of this video.
