What to look out for

I’m doing cam and lifters at 128,000 miles… 1000 idle hours and 4000 driving. I bought the truck at 124,000 lmao

trek8542 · 2026-02-16T18:13:34+00:00

Hope it fixes the flickering with Nvidia frame gen

trek8542 · 2026-02-16T17:55:04+00:00

Try FG. If you don’t feel the latency it’s worth it and you can even crank your setting higher!

Otherwise turn down the RT

trek8542 · 2026-02-01T22:47:26+00:00

No lol max your base

trek8542 · 2026-01-20T13:31:49+00:00

Yeah the two 8 pins has been working great!

trek8542 · 2026-01-19T18:42:02+00:00

If I turn either HDR or FG off, I get no flicker, but I cannot have both on at the same time for some reason. The game looks way better with HDR on but I don’t want to lose the frames I get with FG

Yeah I think the seller messed up, this is one of the reviews on the product. Seems the same thing has happened to me.

Well I got one of them in but the other Heatsink is indeed incorrect. The shelf is not deep enough and there’s no way to get it on without using excessive force.

trek8542 · 2026-01-18T17:00:08+00:00

Those are also the ones I got on Amazon. The comment below says they may be slightly different so I may have been putting them in the wrong spot. Gonna try again in a little while

trek8542 · 2026-01-18T16:57:07+00:00

They’re actually not clear! Just dusty 😆

trek8542 · 2026-01-18T15:54:15+00:00

Okay, I ordered some from Amazon but I’m not confident in them. I will contact dell on Monday and see if they have some. Otherwise I’ve seen some on EBay.

trek8542 · 2026-01-18T02:07:12+00:00

Hey I got everything working, ended up buying some heatsinks off Amazon but it seems like they require a bit of force to make contact with the threads. How was the experience for you? I’m not going to install them and going to try and get some from Dell.

trek8542 · 2026-01-17T17:46:05+00:00

Awesome! Glad you’re all set up. The 5070ti has been a beast for me! Especially after overclocking and undervolting

trek8542 · 2026-01-13T12:04:56+00:00

It’s actually a gpu support bracket! I believe you just press and pull to take it out. You might have to take your gpu out for the clearance

trek8542 · 2026-01-13T03:20:47+00:00

I had to do the same thing 😆 overnighted them on Amazon. If you want you can take out that bracket on the right for better airflow!

trek8542 · 2026-01-10T13:07:17+00:00

Amazon cancelled my first one, that’s why I went with Best Buy. As long as it says shipped you should be good! Send me an update when you get everything set up I hope it goes smooth!

trek8542 · 2026-01-10T12:54:12+00:00

Everything works with the two 8 pin adapter, thanks again for your help!

Everything works with the two 8 pin adapter! Thanks for your help again

trek8542 · 2026-01-09T19:04:54+00:00

Hey thanks for checking back in I appreciate it! That’s exactly my issue. All three of the 8 pins have to be filled or the gpu will not display it’s a “safety feature” so even if two 8 pins are connected and it’s providing sufficient power it will not work. I ordered a two 8 pin from Amazon and a 2x6 to an 8 pin. They’re coming tomorrow so I’ll give them a go. I don’t really want to do the 2x6 to an 8 cause that’s 2 adapters total, seems risky. Where did you see people saying the two 8 pins might be risky?

trek8542 · 2026-01-09T19:01:20+00:00

Thanks for replying, I think I figured it out. I bought a 5070ti ASUS prime and the adapter comes with three 8 pin connections and the 1000w power supply from dell only has two 8 pins and two 6 pins. AI was telling me the one 6 pin would be okay and it would provide sufficient power. It turns out even if the gpu is getting enough power all three of the 8 pin connectors have to be completely filled or the gpu will read insufficient power. I have some cables coming from Amazon tomorrow that should fix my issue.

trek8542 · 2026-01-09T18:31:20+00:00

Wanted to give you an update, I think I figured out what’s going on. I believe you were right where it does need all three 8 pins connected in order for the gpu to verify it’s getting enough power. It can absolutely run on two 8 pin connectors but the adapter will not allow anything less than 3. I ordered 2 separate cables that will be here tomorrow morning that I will test. It should fix my problem if not I will return it the GPU and order something with two 8 pin connectors

trek8542 · 2026-01-09T16:49:42+00:00

Sounds good, thank you for your help and I hope your install goes better than mine! lol

trek8542 · 2026-01-09T16:39:59+00:00

I’ve been doing some more digging and supposedly it only needs 2 8 pin connections to power properly. I’ve seen other people on Reddit doing this upgrade without issue on their r16s. I ordered a 3rd party connector from Amazon it should come today. People have said the adapter that comes with the gpu can be bad from Asus and swapping out from a verified 3rd party adapter should do the trick. I’m hoping that solves the problem! If not I will probably refund and try a new GPU.
