" rel="nofollow - First, do you have any other cards installed? Second, what BIOS revision is the board flashed with/to? Lastly, a single GTX 1060 requires a solid 450w PSU, minimum. |

Which PCIE x16 slot are you using? Your board's PCIE2 slot is both x16 physically and electrically. Your board's PCIE4 slot is x16 physically, but x4 electrically. My video card, a GTX 960, will downshift the PCIe speed connection, but not the PCIe lane connection. At idle it will shift from PCIe 3.0 down to PCIe 1.1, as reported by GPU-Z. I don't get a reduction in the PCIe lane usage. ------------- http://valid.x86.fr/48rujh" rel="nofollow">
