before i spend money on another PSU, if i pulled out the GTX card and used onboard video (which is fine for me, im not doing anything with it other than this), i bet i could get some more power out of the PCIe rail.
i really appreciate the help with this team!
I'm never expecting to mine to make myself rich, i just find it fascinating and a fun hobby project. the Gekko team has really made it easy to learn about mining, and to get it going! and support so far has been great. You guys taking care of the n00bs is what makes me want to continue to purchase these items. Now I need some Gekko vinyl stickers to put on my car!
Mainboard: M5A88-V EVO - ASUS
CPU: AMD FX-4100
(core voltage is running about about 1.0V right now)
(this compy was originally built to be my media center DVR. picked up a fire recast for OTA recording, so needed to do something with the rig)
maybe it would work does the amd fx-4100 have a video chip?
it can pull up to 95 watts which is 7+ amps on one of the 2x 22amp rails so the rail feeding the cpu has under 15 amps left on it
Edit:
I checked the mobo and it has a video chip
you still may not fix your issue
as I do not know how the 2x 22amp rails setup.
it is free to try it so why not give it a shot.
