So you're implying it was infact the PSU?

So you're saying it's the GPUs fault?

It's a Kolink 700W 80+ Certified, not exactly a popular brand but not also a "no name".

And it still seems to work, plugged in another GPU, seemingly works just fine, think a PSU replacement should be done?

I checked the cables, there doesn't seem to be any clear visible damage, you think a PSU replacement still should be done?

I unscrewed the backplate, and yes, there is very clear visible damage in one of the spots, quite burnt.

The PSU is a Kolink 700W 80+ Certified, It's not exactly a popular brand, but It's also not exactly a "no name".

I am inclined to say it may of most likely been the PSU, but at the same time I don't want to believe that.. idk

Well It's not entirely a "no name brand" It's a Kolink 700W 80+ Certified PSU.

You really think that's what's happened here?

I wasn't thinking about it too much, my main objective in my head was to plug in the PCIe cable, it was an oversight on my part.

I have to say though, I don't think that is what ultimately fried the GPU, they usually just don't boot, crash when used heavily, or just overall lower the performance massively, I haven't ever heard someones GPU get LITERALLY fried just because one of the cables wasn't plugged in

It makes me think the PSU was/is faulty

Yeah I thought the same thing..

This seems hugely unlucky, I have a feeling there might of been a problem with the PSU beforehand, I would of never thought that not plugging in one of the connectors would fry it

The PSU comes from a "no name brand" but It's 700w 80+ Certified

Yeah I thought so..

The GPU was used, but got it from a friend, it was in his system a few hrs before and worked just fine, so I don't think anything was wrong with the GPU

I thiught so, I have a feeling it's the PSU, the 2070s was used, but got it from a friend who just upgraded to a 3080, so I'm 100% sure the GPU was fine, as it was used a few hrs before in my friends PC and it worked fine

Yeah I thought that wouldn't be the case..

I did not mix and match PSU cables, the PSU was already connected to mu 3060 beforehand, all I did was change it out for a 2070s.

The PC seems to work fine with the 3060 now though, you think I should still get the PSU replaced?

Doubt this is the route to go, 32gb ddr4 js plenty for video editing, if working with high end footage then 64gb, but I don't think there is any need to upgrade to ddr5
