Hey /g/ so I pulled an old GPU out of retirement after the PSU from the machine it used to sit in blew ages ago for a project.
Thing is the damn thing refuses to even spin the fan with the 6 pin connector plugged in. I thought it might be the PSU so I brought out a brand spanking new EVGA 500 80plus, passes paperclip, no dice.
Thing is when the 6 pin is unplugged and it's just running off of pcie power, the fan spins (but no video output obviously).
It's not like PSU isn't trying to deliver power, when I boot with everything plugged as it should the fan jitters for a 1/10th second but abruptly stops as if it's power gets completly cut off.
Is my GPU dead /g/?

Surprise!

Do you have a bios option for gpu? might have to select pci display adapter or disable igpu. I'd google your laptop model and egpu problems, I don't know much about them but not all laptops are compatible. Do you have a desktop or a friend with one to test the card? doesn't really matter what it is, you have a psu.
nobody cares, I know it's fried, I'm confident you're a worthless faggot

This is the thing, I don't have a working Desktop to put this in cause the PSU that blew a long time ago also took the motherboard with it.
Also no friends because Autism.

Whooo and a visual pop too, too bad I didn't catch it on camera.
>tfw 680 4gb died a month ago
>using my old amd 6850 that sounds like a fighter jet at 60% fan speed
I read that amd gpus have less input lag, so at least I can be happy in that respect.

So now that the 6 pin power seems to have blown the card will just ramp the fan full speed and output no video as if it's just running on the pcie slot (which it now technically is).
Well, at least I've still got a noisy fan to keep me cool during summer.
