yes, i did try another psu my buddy brougth one over he had a 800 Wpsu i believe, then again i didnt try it on the new mobo. i just updated the bios on this one and im gonna test it ou when i get home from work, this whole thing has been incredibly aggrivating lol. and yea, the fans spin, its definetely working just no display. it takes 2 of the 4 pins from my psu and they are snug, as well as the card is firmly placed into the pcix16 slot. who knows though i suppose maybe the bios update helped i wont know until later
