i have some biostar z170 boards they run everything but I think they are 3rd or 4th gen intel.
The Z170 are 6th Gen Intel
I got a 3070 GPU from a retailer closer by and I find out the GPU won't boot up in my 2nd gen motherboard, same thing in a FX AMD motherboard so I contact the seller again and he told me to get a newer motherboard 6th gen or so, anyone here using 3070/3080 should please confirm, what mobo you using to boot up?
Should theoretically work on anything, even an old PCIe Gen2 slot. If its an old motherboard its possible it isnt able to provide the GPU with enough power from the PCIe slot - 3070 is a power hog. Try plugging it using a powered riser instead of directly on the board.
