    hi all,
    i just got a MSI B450m motherboard and installed a Radeon 5700t graphics card.
    the computer beeps 3 times unless i plug in all 8 AND 6 power cables into it.
    im trying to build windows 10 on it , but it the graphics card fans are not on and gets so hot during the process im afraid to continue .
    is there a bios flash or a setting int he bios im missing or will i continue to build the machine ?
    thanks.

    What model 5700? A lot of them don't spin up unless under load.

    It shouldn't be getting hot if you're only installing windows.

    Exactly. The 5700 XT has an 8 pin and a 6 pin. Why are you not plugging them both in??
