Did my Quad died?

[PowerfulEra]

I was testing a fx 4500 that i flashed 30 minutes ago and wanted to do a openmark benchmark it went down to 9 fps then click device shut itself down. I first though it overheated or something because it switchs itself off immedietly when i press the power on button. I can see that motherboard has electricity thanks to yellow led that relieves me a little .

It still does this and its been almost a hour. Is it screwed?

I was using molex to 6pin from dvd rom. Looks like machine boots when i remove the 4500 and install the 6600. It shuts itself again when i plug both of the gpus in even if the 4500 doesnt have power cable plugged in

Try to find Mini-PCI-Ex-to-PCI-EX 6pin cable, it's not something unusual.

Have you been able to fix 4500 since then to make it work?

Well the fx 4500 is dead but its my fault. I tried to do stress test on the 4500 with molex power split from dvd rom. It wouldnt boot with it at first so i installed it at the test rig it went fine and boom something shorted. When i tore it down looks like i blew the mosfet luckily i have a donor dead 4500 with good mosfets so gonna swap them and clean the board when i can find free time. Other than that my quad works perfectly.

Tldr dont power the 4500 through split molex connector. Dont be stupid. Dont be me

How should I power it correctly? I am asking since I got 4500, but still not flashed (so I did not try installing it yet).

You need to get mini 6 pin to pcie 6 pin power cable.
