Did I got scammed? My Prime B360M-K sometimes boots with Gtx1650, and sometimes don't.
With horrible pc parts price I bought this Office PC with a Asus Prime B360M-K to upgrade as a gaming pc but the chiniese GTX 1650 Low profile I bought does not boot sometimes. It gives 1 long beep and 3 short beeps gap and another beep. card fan does spin all the time.
Yeah, more likely. You mention ‘chinese’ and that threw a red flag. Anything from there, particularly when it comes to electronics and computer components, should always be a high concern. I mean, look at the plating of the card. You say it comes up as a GTX 1650, so why is the plating saying ‘GTX-10’? If you look up low-profile GTX 1650, you will know that NONE of them look like that.

My sibling in Satan, literally a majority of electronic components are made in China.

But the Chinese stores are of concern. 😅
But quantity does not equal quality. I mean come on, this has been proven time and time again. Don’t play dumb.

Also there are Chinese knockoffs that claim to be Card xxxx and turns out its some cheap card with some custom firmware to trick the OS into thinking it’s the card you bought
The point still stands… that does not look like a GTX 1650? Unless someone swapped the cooler on it, that seems like a fake card or hacked firmware to me
