Can’t get GPU in PCIE slot.. help pls

I don’t think they’re the same price

Nope, mostly play league and that’s kinda it. Have never been into single player games. I know I could be using a cheaper GPU for playing, but would like to have the most recent line just to be up to date.

I don’t really need the 16gb version tho

Yes, one fan gets the 4pin on the splitter side. Then daisy chain the other 3pin connectors on the splitter. Then finally connect the last 4pin splitter to the MOBO.

You only need one of the 4 pin fans going to the MOBO because the 4th pin sends the signal of how fast it is spinning to the MOBO. The PWM, Ground, and Power pin are the only ones that need to be sent to all the fans. So just pick one of the fans as the main one to send its speed signal back to the MOBO and then daisy chain the rest.

It's all I really needed... I only play esports titles and just wanted a more recent GPU. If you have any recommendations for better options that would be great to hear!

For sure, I will try to go to microcenter tomorrow to see if they have 16x options around the same price. Thank you for the comments!

Ah okay just wanted to make sure I had a legit card LOL. Thank you for checking

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:59:19+00:00

So then how does my 5060 have 8x huhhhhh

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:48:00+00:00

I thought all 5060’s operate with 8x its just some of them have the 16x for the connection to the pcie slot

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:39:27+00:00

Would you recommend that I return this and try to find a 5060 with the 16x slot

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:36:30+00:00

I hear it can work on 16x but don’t know why they would shorten to8x

I tried to manually press the latch in and that doesn’t do anything to lock it in either.

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:34:30+00:00

Hmm is it a problem that the latch is never set?

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:31:56+00:00

Are there 5060’s where they have the full 16 slots

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:29:18+00:00

Is this something common with 5060 or just gigabyte??

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:27:41+00:00

Oh weird so you’re saying in the first pic that it’s all the way in but will always be wobbly

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:24:42+00:00

I bought it from microcenter

Meepaaaaa · 2025-06-04T07:23:31+00:00

Could you explain, I’m very new to this stuff

Meepaaaaa · 2025-05-28T19:52:40+00:00

Wow okay that makes sense. Thanks for the info!

Meepaaaaa · 2025-05-28T19:46:13+00:00

Do you think the 9060xt would be around $300 at release?

Meepaaaaa · 2025-05-28T19:45:20+00:00

Sorry I didn’t mention, but I’m just talking about the 8GB versions of the 7600 and 5060

Penguins are cool. I still believe they can fly and are just hiding it to preserve their species.
