#New RTX 5090 Vanguard - No fans, no lights, no display (no power?)

I'm using the ASRock X870E Nova WiFi with a 9800X3D, and I'm upgrading my 3080 Gaming X Trio, which still works great. I'm using my 2 month old Corsair Rm1000e PSU.

I inserted my 5090 Vanguard and I don't ever see the fans spin or any lights. I don't see the card in BIOS or windows. It seems like it latched in the PCIE 1 slot, but I've removed a heatsink and a shroud that covers some m2 slots near the GPU to be sure it's not obstructing the GPU.

I've also tried forcing PCIe Gen 4 to be used, clearing CMOS, 3 different cables to power the 5090: 2x8 pin to 12V-2x6 included with the PSU, a brand new (from Corsair) 2x8 pin to 12V-2x6, and the 4x8 pin to 12V-2V6 adapter included with the GPU.

I'm going to test a vertical mount and PCIe Gen 5 riser cable later tonight to maybe rule out whether or not the card is obstructed when inserting it into the PCIE 1 slot.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions.

So you can get into bios just fine but it seems like the GPU is not detected

narrow grove
#

Yeah

#

I boot just fine

#

I can only see the bios with my motherboard's HMDI output though

kind kestrel
#

See if your BIOS has any PCIe power-saving feature

#

and disable it

narrow grove
#

Hmm okay

narrow grove
#

Got it working! Turns out I did not have it seated properly in the PCIe slot. I had to bend the metal back a bit where you sink it into the case.

#

Wait I’m having similar issues my 3080 works fine but no post on 5080

#

I got lights on but no post on my monitor

kind kestrel
#

If that works, then go update to the latest driver, then you can set it back to auto

#

or PCIe 5

foggy gulch
#

So I did what he did bend a bit the case and it got gpu to light up and fans to spin but still no post ..

kind kestrel
#

so cant get into bios period?

#

no post at all, ok, hmmmm

foggy gulch
#

Yes if I plug my 3080 I can get to bios , which already did and set pcie to gen 4 to see if that was the issue

kind kestrel
#

How are you getting power into your 5080?

#

Are you using adapter, or 12vHPWR (also called 12v 6x2)

foggy gulch
#

I tried but but no post

#

Until now that it lighted up

kind kestrel
#

you didn't answer my question

foggy gulch
#

Before I tried the 12vh pwr

kind kestrel
#

Why would you go back to the adapter if the 12vhpwr isn't working lol

#

what PSU ya got?

#

shoot me the model

foggy gulch
kind kestrel
#

Show me how you connected to the adapter

#

@daring jackal You think Kami might've connected to the adapter wrong?

#

If it's correct, maybe next thing to do in bios would be to look into power management settings

#

and also there should be a setting to improve hardware compatibility

daring jackal
#

I had to use my igpu until I installed drivers I think. I know it's crazy

#

Both my 80 and 90

#

Because no video output until I did.

kind kestrel
#

That's something I always do before I pop in a new GPU

#

install latest drivers first

#

that's a good call too

daring jackal
#

He's saying that bending the cable made GPU LEDs come on tho?

foggy gulch
#

I didn’t bend cables , the case

kind kestrel
foggy gulch
#

Like he he said

daring jackal
#

1000% sure it's in slot correctly

#

Reseated it

foggy gulch
#

Anyway ppl say to ddu before installing new gpu so I did that , after that I put new gpu and here we are lol

daring jackal
kind kestrel
#

You only DDU if you encounter issues

foggy gulch
#

I did before like 1 hr then removed the adapter and put in the 12vh and now again no lights nothing

daring jackal
#

You are sure that the 12 pin is fully seated

foggy gulch
kind kestrel
#

how are you connecting to the adapter cables btw

foggy gulch
#

Yes it’s fully seated both ends

kind kestrel
#

show me in paint

#

or a picture

foggy gulch
#

Using 3 8 pin cables

kind kestrel
#

3 seperate 8 pins? ok

foggy gulch
#

Yes

daring jackal
#

You don't have the 12pin cable?

foggy gulch
#

Thank you you , I’ll try later today

foggy gulch
#

I’ve been trying both adapter and 12 pin cable

daring jackal
#

Does it have the colored end so you know if it's not seated fully

kind kestrel
daring jackal
#

What's your psu

foggy gulch
#

It said 3.1 ready or whatever lol

daring jackal
#

It doesn't have the 12vhpwr cable or does it

kind kestrel
#

doesn't look like it to me, unless there's been a new revision

foggy gulch
#

It des

#

It’s a new version

daring jackal
#

Send me that page

foggy gulch
#

Anyway I feel if I push in too hard the gpu I might break it

daring jackal
#

Ok looks like that should be good

#

Can you show a pic of the 12vhpwr cable plugged into GPU

kind kestrel
#

Ditch the adapter, go back to the 12vHPWR / 12v-2x6

daring jackal
#

I keep seeing ppl talk about it taking a gorilla amount of force to insert these and that's just... Odd

foggy gulch
#

Yes I plugged the 12vh cable

kind kestrel
#

as long as you don't see a gap

#

you should be good

daring jackal
#

You just give a little micro jiggle as you insert

foggy gulch
#

I’m worried about the gpu tho

kind kestrel
#

just make sure it's flat on all sides

daring jackal
#

That's not an innuendo

#

Lol

foggy gulch
#

Don’t wanna break it

kind kestrel
#

Just hold the GPU while you wiggle it in

#

or have someone hold it secure for ya

daring jackal
kind kestrel
#

or IDK plug it into the GPU first and then plug the GPU in the PCIe slot

foggy gulch
kind kestrel
#

double check PSU side too

#

make sure that it's all the way in for PSU and GPU

daring jackal
kind kestrel
#

if it's still nada, reseat GPU I think

daring jackal
#

Some comedy to lighten the mood

foggy gulch
#

Let me try again

daring jackal
#

The lock tab is definitely engaging on the PCI slot?

kind kestrel
#

did ya hear an audible click?

daring jackal
#

Did you hear an inaudible click? 😂

foggy gulch
#

Yo

#

Yo

#

I fucked up

#

Motherboards broke

#

😪

kind kestrel
daring jackal
#

I kind of wondered when you talked about it flexing changing things

#

How's it broken

kind kestrel
foggy gulch
#

I pushed the gpu too hard

kind kestrel
#

B R U H

daring jackal
#

Trying to insert the power connector?

foggy gulch
#

No when I tried to reseat the gpu

daring jackal
#

So do you see a crack in the PCB or something

foggy gulch
#

Yes

#

Now nothing turn on

daring jackal
#

Yeah that sucks, we've all jacked things up before

#

But you know how to proceed

#

Send me the vanguard so it has a better home

#

😂

kind kestrel
#

What's your mobo? I've literally never seen this shit happened before

foggy gulch
#

I’m fucking with u guys lol

#

It finally worked!!

kind kestrel
#

bruh

#

I got jebaited

foggy gulch
#

Haha literally I’ve been trying like a day

#

Thank you both , I guess it just needed to be reseated properly!!

kind kestrel
foggy gulch
#

Gpu reseated fixed it ..

kind kestrel
#

Guess you were too shy the whole time putting it in

foggy gulch
#

It was my first time….
