Quick Radeon HD 5800 Series Video Card Installation Video Linus Tech Tips

[Naarden4ever]

PCI Express slut? XDXDXD

Alright, that's getting old...

[qubec2]

how do we remove the power connectors from the video card? had trouble removing it from my 5870 this morning..

[pcandmacturorials]

@nihalnihu no just reinstall the drivers

[nihalnihu]

is it necessary to format the pc after installing graphic card....

[Palillos1337]

that case is beautifully color coordinated with blue and black... and then you put that orange monster in there.

[lordvad3r]

@0:55 so im thinking he says sluts and slut alot around this point?? anyone hearing tht :P

[bigwillysty1e]

Very helpful and useful, thank you

[xBuzz996]

wth, what is this "reaction" thing at the side?!

[Michal1982Michal1982]

Installing video card is easy as fucking. :]

[born2own]

@Michal1982Michal1982 it took me 17 years to fuck though :D

[JustSayin24]

@Michal1982Michal1982 That's why when you watch this video, it concludes that all 27,000 people haven't yet fucked :D

[CallofDutyVideosGen]

Help plz when i put my ati radeon 2400XT card in and boot it it just gives me a black screen, when i remove t it works normaly

[impje]

People who buy there computers pre build do not want to open up there computer and put in a videocard.

Spend another 10 euro's and put in a GPU holder/bracket.

[theANALpherbet]

do i need to have both of such 6 pin connectors? because i only got one and don´t know if it will break when i start the pc :( need help. i got radeon hd 5830 in this green style with the men on it ^^

[Caelistas]

@theANALpherbet Yeah you need both for newer grafix cards. Have you checked all cables coming out of your power supply? How many watt does your power supply has?

Also is it a modular power supply? If this is the case you can always add extra power cables. (6 pin connectors)

[theANALpherbet]

@Caelistas yeah i checked them all and there where only white 3 pin connectors and actually i don´t know how many watt it has and i don´t know if it is a modular power supply

[fartmonkey200]

plug the power cable things into the card first, then install the card

[Rapagangsta]

Powercolor PCS+ cards suck, no overvolting or anything. Cheapy stuff. I've got one.

[callummcintyre]

Im thinking of buying a 5830 radoen hd like the one in the video, but the xfx model. Will it fit in my igmatek Asgard case?

thanks.

[Wolf9656]

@callummcintyre yes, but i would buy a 6850 or 6870. they cost a little bit more but they are way better!

[omegawarhog]

Hey guys i'm really frustrated right now because i just bought an XFX radeon HD 5830 and my power supply only has one PCIE power adapter, but i need two! But the card came with 2 molex cables that let me convert two 4-pin connectors to one 6-pin connector, but the stupid thing is the instruction manual says DON'T use two 4-pin to one six pin adapters for the GPU!!! and to top it all off the molex connectors are missing some pieces!! what do i do!!

[atakan5909]

@omegawarhog if you have more than 500w psu, connect it with them. Xfx says that so because they sell psu :)

[PCpowerCrew97]

hey i am building my 17th pc and i need some input on msi motherboards... any help would be very appreciated

[spiceyxxwiener]

dam your pale. lets go to the beach

[Krizziez]

but .. ehh.. will it Blend ?_?

[Ptro001]

you know what would be a great product? a device that supports graphics cards, and can fit in any standard ATX case

[airconaaron]

@Ptro001 I wonder if those even exist, all i have is a device that fits sound cards and nics. 8 of them in fact

[ReactionFaceGuy]

Great video, makes it seem so darn simple - like adult legos.

One question - any real difference in installation/quirks between the HD 5800 series shown here and the HD 6950 I'll be receiving?

[guildcar]

everytime someone asks about videocard installation or is afraid of installing a gpu themselves over at gamespot.. i recommend them this exact video and never another.. linus saves the day :P

over there look me up im IonusX

[Th3beatD0wn]

That mother fucker is huge....

[AnimeKEIJI]

@Th3beatD0wn thats what she said

[stan464]

@AnimeKEIJI ROF To the mother fucking L!. Love the Innuendo There.

[yingyang70]

@Th3beatD0wn that's what she said o.O

[hmongboy9161]

how many inches is the card?? and how much does it cost??

[deadlyhydra]

how does he install it so easily i ran into difficulty installing my video card 

[AeroFix94]

@deadlyhydra cuz he has like but in a graphic card like million times in a PC and built many ones! so it cant be hard for him dude :)

[Yesuranidiot]

@deadlyhydra

You didnt play with legos enough when you were a child.

[dexterediting]

Whats best one of these 5830, or two XFX Radeon HD 5770?

[Davy2612]

@dexterediting 5770 in crossfireX is about the same as a 5870, Though you will still have the 128bit Memory Bus unlike like the 5800 series which all have 256bit memory bus.

[boss14185]

so quick...

[1800Supreme]

My Case Has Slot at the front so the back of the card can slid in and helps with support but only if the card is long enough to reach the slot at the back and if it cant then i guess it doesn't need to but is about 13 inches from the back plate so i think only a HD 5970 would reach

[cbdirtbiker5]

Someone thats buying a 5800 should know how to install there own card.

[masterkarray]

@cbdirtbiker5 Not always true. My friends is buying it cause i recommended him to (i adviced the Vapor-X version) but he's having his pc assembled from another friend.

[1dkwarrior2]

what cooler is installed, in the graphic card?

[TheFatal05]

why the fuck would someone buy a $1500+ pc and not know how to fking install a video card?

[ch4os1337]

@TheFatal05 Agreed, I would be warry of there component knowledge.

[Laubstir]

I'm having some problems with an HD 5830. The video card powers up but I  have installed the drivers and unistalled the drivers multiple times with no representation of it in dxdiag. Is that because I only have 1 6-pin connector or am I doing something wrong???

[askebengtson]

when I got my new pc some weeks ago My videocard was broken beacouse of it was in the computer

[nictherocker]

Why are you always using a stock cooler it kills me :(

[Deathuntneki4]

remember : ALWAYS use an ORANGE screwdriver

[UndyingGhost]

@Deathuntneki4 Hehe yeah Logan said orange then must be orange! xD

[Deathuntneki4]

@UndyingGhost actually , most of the reviewers/builders use the EPIC ORANGE SCREWDRIVER OF DEATH for some unknown reason.

[Blackinterceptor999]

@Deathuntneki4 I used a bright red screwdriver when I built my new case, so far its gotten fantastic feedback from those that have seen it in person....perhaps it would have gone from "thats cool" to "thats freakin epic!!!" if only I used the orange driver......

[Deathuntneki4]

@Blackinterceptor999 yeah.Now you understand the power of the almighty ORANGE SCREWDRIVER!!! (*epic music here*)

I built my i7 980Xt and 5970 4GB computer with an orange screwdriver...that's the only reason of why it's so powerfull.

[neonzion7]

@LFCforEver12341 yeah i was about to buy the 5830 but instead got a gtx 460! lol but hey the 5830 is now only $180 but i still choose the gtx 460... i STILL dont understand why everyone hated the 5830 though lol

[nocrypto]

PSU vs Air Circulation = win/fail ?

[Deathuntneki4]

@nocrypto Power Supply Unit versus Air Circulation?

they both win, so shall they stay on their places.

[ViEtxHuE2]

@LFCforEver12341 Lol i thought the green was black but then it was green sorry.. Lol but im trying save like 100 for an 1 tb black edition you now xD.. You know a place for ceap hard drive but not craiglist lol

[SnowmuchX]

that card is HUGE

[David2377]

really?, i don't see how it would snap the pci port if it's screwed it?, but anyway wow, that sucks

[neonzion7]

5830 = best bang for the buck ever made!!!

5830 croffsire = owns the 5870 in everything while being cheaper!!

[SpeakerZoNHigH]

i was thinking of buying a high end PC not for gaming...but just for the high end specs...maybe $800-$900??? nothing that special....

[DuyAnh1]

omg ur installation took less than 2 mins and it took my 3hrs to install mine yesterday ;( pain in the ass man since my case was so tight lolz

btw I ordered this from NCIX too

I'm experiencing PC freezes as well slower at loading program

I changed from 8600GT to PowerColor 5830

Plz answer my question

[DuyAnh1]

@DuyAnh1 I formatted my PC no more freezes =)

SO FAST NOW haha idle @ 33*C and load @ 44-45*C :D

[ih8v8s]

i have a HiS 5850 and it doesnt have that massive heat sink/heatpipe configuration, so im guessing its a Powercolor card issue with the extra weight of the copper heatpipes hanging off the side that was causing the snapping of the pci-e slot.

My rig was sent interstate with no issues.

[sakisgamer]

Can i install the Powercolor HD 5830 with this power supply unit?

THERMALTAKE W0093 TR2 POWER 500W

[silentmode]

hi..a got a dell PC with Dell 02Y832 mobo and a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX440 with AGP8x... i want to upgrade the video card so i purchased a Radeon HD4350 AGP.. but after uninstalling the previous card driver , removing the card and mounting the new card (HD4350) , the screen is empty (all black)..the cpu is on, the card is seated properly but i just dont know how to solve it...also, will a PCI video card fit on any PCI slot on this mobo?? pls help me..PM or reply..thank you

[poutanogamiasL]

is that a 5830?

[vexun11]

Reallly? what type of cards have 8 pins?

[vexun11]

what are the extra little cables on the psu 6 pin pci-e power cables? There are little cables that are there that you don't plug in the card, they just sit aside. What are those used for?

[harshwbajpai]

@vexun11

to go in cards which have 8 pin connectors.

[suckxez]

I like how you touch every hundred dollar PCB in your videos.

[bams3r]

paranoid much

[radwiimp]

They're going to have to start building those PCI slots a bit sturdier with how big and heavy these cards are getting!

[tomimn2233]

@radwiimp

true. I am tempted to lay it horizontally to keep cpu coolers and graphic cards from being pulled down by gravity

[EliteSoldier112]

Are you serious? I'd rather have them ship the video card seperate so that I can get the original BOX in case I'd like to upgrade (So that I can sell it to someone).

[R08M]

they still send every box

[TheDeadCPU]

@EliteSoldier112 You can specify that you want all boxes sent with your pc.

[FiskCollection]

@EliteSoldier112

Actually, I believe they ship all of the original boxes and packaging along with the system. I could be wrong though but I recall reading that.

[AMVDawg]

@EliteSoldier112 they give you all boxes anyway

[MrWasa1]

I got a small question, can you tell me how to find out if a video card will even fit inside of a computer.

I am thinking about getting a 5750 and i don't want to throw away 150$ PLEASE HELP!!!!

[tommyboy231]

You measure

[Lykuodic]

first off u need 2 know if u have a PCI-e x16 slot or PCi-e 2.0(they look like the slot he was putting that graphics card in)(PCI-e x16 slots dont have that little clip on the right site). Next u need 2 know what power supply is required 2 run the graphics card (i suggest having at least 50-100 watts more) and 2 c if the power supply has the right connectors. if not go buy a new power supply and/or molecs to PCI power adapter. And make sure that graphics card is not 2 long 4 ur case either.

[momojabada]

every case fitting standard ATX motherboard will fit a 5750. so a normal case will fit all 5700 series graphic card

[thojyout23]

ive always seen it like this...Ati for gaming and Nvidia for workstation type stuff.

[Jallandhara]

I wonder if nVidia and ATI will update their reference mounting to have stronger integrated bracketing on the rear to help offload the stress from the extra weight from large pcb/coolers/etc.

[fixnorm]

im happy with my 4870 x2

[Razear]

You forgot about the drivers lol

[puppetmassster]

@Razear

Not really. The driver would already be installed. The customer would only have to plug in the card and go.

[plotikai]

I think the cost you pay to have your pc assembled should be reduced. Not saying that installing a card is particularly difficult but if you buy installation service and you have to do part of the installation yourself, it would make sense to either charge less for installation or put a low cost plastic support bracket to keep it in place during shipping.

[MIO82]

@plotikai They charge $50 to build the system, not really a whole lot, so I think having a damage free system is worth $50 and putting the card in yourself.

[football72linemen]

unless your brain dead its not difficult to do it yourself

[mrNHC]

Worst Buy charges you like $50 for installing video card and CPU.

[paradoxdesigns]

i'd be fine with the car shipping seperately. anyone buying a card like that should have no issues installing it themselves anyways.

[djtyper]

lol

[renodude18]

Lol, good video for those who don't know how to install a video card. To bad ATI couldn't resolve this problem or have seen it ahead of time because that card really is massive!

[mcelusive]

size of the card lol its huge

[Peetah16]

how to install a graphics card for dummies.

[CruelQuertos]

lol this is guied's for totals noobs :D

[LoricElf]

helped give me the confidence to install my new vid card i got for xmas. got two i7 builds from myself but once they're together and working im lazy about changing them up again :) but think i'll do that now. had a 500gb hd to put into my asus netbook i had sitting around for a month+ installed that including taking out the old in 4 minutes once i finally decided to. thanks again for the boost hehe

[chrismon1001]

I wanna get 2 of the 5830's here soon.

[kr3wson]

why, theres no reason to

[JixMa]

If it were me, I'd have laid the computer case on its side and put the video card in vertically and downwards into the slot. I don't know why Linus would slide the card in laterally like that.

[TheKillermenn]

I have a question?

I buy the end of the month a new PC.

He has intel i7-920 8GB RAM ATI HD 4890 with CrossFier X. I would like to install namely, 2, or 896 MB Nvidia GeForce GTX 275th .. Win 7 x64 and 1TB costs 999 € in $ 1360.85 .....

Thanks for answering

[TheKillermenn]

Oh i forgot is this good or becom i a better PC....

[sieglines]

get dx 11 card

[sweetypie000]

send me the tower and video card and see if i can manage to fit it

:D

[leerman22]

the drivers are already installed so we dont need to worry about that?

[LinusTechTips]

correct.

[aceracc323]

I'm not a over clocking expert but I just ran a Res 5. Benchmark And Got 105.00 average FPS With a 5850. is this good?

[X41N3]

@aceracc323 depends on what settings ;p, when configuring settings to play with. the fps has to average at about 60 fps for most ppl to play comfortable with.

[aceracc323]

Every Thing on High no AA. and 1680X1050

I just have a Quad Q66@2.40 so I was just wondering.

[ashrocks87]

doesnt that thing get grounded or static something when you touch the parts?

[Jorgie0101]

WTF that 5830 is longer than a 5850

[AmH032uTuBe]

Well not the reference PCB, but I know that Sapphire's 5830's are.

[jsp21c]

See my entry below, its the Cooler Master 690 II Advanced which includes an extra support bracket for video cards.

[TheMRamstaff]

are you talking about the case here ?

nope its a nexus case:D he did a review in his blog:D

[frickfrock999]

The 5800 series are beasts.

Too bad the drivers can't take full advantage of them yet :(

[jsp21c]

In the past I've seen instructions for large CPU coolers which recommend not transporting the PC with the large cooler in place because of possible motherboard damage. Clearly large modern graphics cards are in the same position. One PC case manufacturer includes a bracket to give extra support to large graphics cards now.

[Weini123]

you should NOT TOUCH ANY computer components without touching a radiator or something like that before installing new hardware. so you should be antistatic while working (sry im from germany i dont know the specific word). i burned my old 6800GTX cause i was new at this whole computer thing too. sad story :*(

anyway nice video linus

[Peetah16]

yeah gpu are getting awfully heavy these days. Still remember 3 years back man the cards were tiny.

[b0ss6769]

nice one :)

you have great support there !

[TheKillermenn]

WOW is a big video Card and a good PC... Can you please make a video who you play GTA IV on the PC.... And who can i see how high can you make the setings.... I know this is going to maximum setings.......

[Domowoi2]

The size doesent matter at all...

You can install an P4 in this case...

(If you are able to after watching this great video^^)

Im german but I hope you understand me.

[TheKillermenn]

lol dan antworte in DE :-) bin auch DE

[bitchslapper12]

Heil Hitler

[Dezki]

@TheKillermenn

Sprechen sie Englisch?

[TheKillermenn]

I can English and Germany i live in Germany............. :-)

@bitchslapper12 ----- Fuck you and dosen't say it or you have a problem with me

[Dezki]

@TheKillermenn

Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut. :P

[TheKillermenn]

Not problem for what give it google translaiter.....

[Budskee420]

I built my own computer myself, but to say if you don't know how to do this you shouldn't be a pc gamer is pretty snobby. What if I wanted to own a really nice expensive fast car, should I then be required to know how to put all the different parts together? Bit of a stretch comparison I admit, but I would hope you would get my point.

[Zerololz]

I wonder if they''ll start adding better support for GPU's. There getting too big and heavy for two screws at one end...

[OoEllusionistoO]

if your getting a powerful computer whith that many high powered components you must be kind of into computers but not having the balls to install a Graphichs card wtf... its like playing with legos you shouldnt have a computer that has a high powered GPU in it if your not willing to install it, thats just lame half the fun in having a good PC is ungrading making it.

[RofIStomper]

If you buy a computer with a gaming Grafx card like the 5850, 5870 or 5970 (nVidia GTX's) You should already know how to install it, otherwise you have no business buying a gaming PC.

[neonzion7]

@RofIStomper ikr lol hahahaha

[Gibson299]

@RofIStomper You mean they have no business installing it them selves really.

[vogter2605]

Blah, i would actually learn somthing if you were about to enable Cross-Fire X :s

[Ricsikeex]

20min. 100 views niceee :D

[chaosquall1]

lol simple as

[amishbrap]

should try putting foam under the card.

[LauxHawk]

That thing is saggin....

[xBLINDF1R3xKIDx]

cool

[powerwark]

Good Video BTW! D:

hahahah

[powerwark]

quality!?

D:!

[therealandycook]

youtube does a "quick" render of videos (low quality), the 720p render should be done soon.

[powerwark]

hooo okok thanks :P

[amishbrap]

penis

[0w1p]

first one :D good video

[mindthecap]

first
