Struggling to get my dvi cable in the port though, it doesn't seem to want to push in?

Are you sure you're not pushing it into the DP port

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:00

Okay so the house is in and my computer has turned on using hdmi cable, tenfans on you don't seem to be spinning yet though, should I worry?

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:01

And 100%, pushing into either of two dvi ports

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:06

I'll install the driver and see if that makes a difference

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:14

Fans don't spin until hits 60 degrees don't worry.

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:14

Oh phew okay

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:17

Cooking at same time - as usual you have my full attention.

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:18

Avoid installing the 3d gumf.

No idea what that is, but! It appears to all be working! Just making my way through GeForce experience and oh my WHAT an experience I'm having..

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:30

Found the issue though! The cable I have is a dvi, but this used dvi-d ones oh dear!

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:35

Balls - thought you had one :/

Can you use the HDMI? (shows how much I was taking in while cooking - I thought you were using HDMI.)

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:37

That's fine, i'll order a dvi-d to hdmi now,

Plec · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:39

So what inputs are you using to TV and monitor?

(forget what you were using)

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:40

I'm currently using HDMI, and i'll use HDMI on the other one if that works, if not, VGA.

Also, I've just opened up my box for my gpu even more and there's a disc in there labelled 'Graphics accelerator driver'. Sounds important. Should I use it?

No, just use the NVidia drivers.

And MSI Afterburner if you want to clock.

Yessir!!!
