Upgrading GPU Help

Venomx999

I'm getting green lines flashing around the screen, any ideas ?

Could be the drivers ?

Ok I changed to 50hz and now its fine

The spare parts of my PSU cable which go into the GPU are touching the case and buzzing, is it ok to gently bend them away ? I know it's not the fans or the GPU as it disappears when the case is opened.

I keep bending the cables way but then half an hour later the buzzing starts again

Been using the GPU for a month now and really happy with it.
Plays all my games at 1080p with no problem including Forza and CS GO

Did some youtubing and saw some GPUs have 2 connector ports, wheras mine only has one. Why is this ?

Which model did you get?

Just checked and I have two lots of 6 2 connectors, so can support an 18pin GPU should I ever need it.

Wouldn't that be 2 x 8pin connectors giving 16?

Different models will have more power connectors to allow more power to the card.  Sometimes this is the case even within the same model range as some cards might be more overclocked and use more power as a result.

Venomx999

Yeah 16 altogether sorry for the confusion.

As you can see this is what I have. Would be very difficult to connect both of them to a GPU without some serious bending

Would it be safe to bend the cables if I were to get a more powerful GPU which uses 16 pin as opposed to 8 ?
