Hello computer folks.
I just bought (new to the market) AMD 480X sapphire vid card. 8gbs of ram it's awesome. My question; are there any reasons why I would not use a separate power supply on this card? The one I have is good at 650 watts but has anyone tried using a dedicated power supply on their vid cards, if so did it help?
I have 400 watt power-smart supply I tried this with. The problem is wouldn't turn on because I think the power supplies need to see a connect to the mother board to turn on? Would that be a correct assumption and would this be a common problem with all computer power supplies not turning on?
Thanks
