What about your GPU's (5700XT & 7900XT), are they working ok now?

Unfortunately no.

The 5700XT is probably dead, tested it in 2 PC's, no leds and I get a VGA error on my motherboard

The 7900XT is probably dead as well, although the leds are working. Also VGA error on my motherboard. It is connected with 2x8 pins though (1 splits to 2x8pins) and not 3. I am waiting a new PSU to give it another go.

Hope the new PSU gets you up and running.

What PSU did you go for?

Corsair RM1000X, should come with plenty of cables. The RM750X only had 2 PCIE cables which is why I mixed and matched and possibly fried 2 GPU's

I'm really curious to see if the 7900Xt works with the new PSU or not. Also have a 4080 arriving tomorrow, if the 7900 works then the 4080 goes back. I really need my PC up and running by Friday for Diablo 4. Damn game is costing me a fortune.

I did, yes. Although I fried both the 7900XT and 5700XT

Unlucky That a real shame.

How's the 4080 performance?

It's great but the 7900XT was a much better VFM, especially because I got it for cheap.

Very impressed with low temps and low power draw! It's very quiet too.

You are incredibly lucky mismatching cables from two PSU brands (hell, don't even do it from the same manufacturer with different product lines)

Hope you managed to sort out the issues.
I was lost for a while when moved back to AMD, as the Asus board requires all settings to be back to default before flashing the BIOS. I was looking at it and wondering why it wasn’t working. Soooo many years flashing BIOS and now this.
