Hey, I have an Alienware Aurora R7 with an i7-8700 and 460W PSU. Originally had a GTX 1080 installed. I bought a second-hand ASUS RTX 4060 8GB and installed it using the same 8-pin PCIe power cable as the old card. On startup the GPU fans spin briefly and then the Alienware logo blinks 5x amber. No display output at all. When I put the original GTX 1080 back in, everything works fine again.

I currently have 16GB DDR4-2666 RAM with two empty slots, planning to upgrade to 32GB. My monitor is an MSI G32CQ4 E2, 1440p 144Hz.

Has anyone experienced this with a modern GPU in the Aurora R7? Is the RTX 4060 compatible or is a special power adapter needed? Or would you recommend a different card for this monitor and setup

As a complete beginner, I have a question to get my bearings: I’m really torn between focusing my (secondhand) search on a TD-01KV or a TD-02KV. The 01 looks a bit more compact in terms of space usage in photos, although I don’t think the specs differ much when you factor in the stand, etc. Of course, the 01 has more cables (headphone/laptop connection). But other than that, I don’t see any major differences except for the price 😉 For a beginner, maybe the 01 is fine? (Unless I can find a 02 for the same price). Thanks!

As a complete beginner, I have a quick question: I can’t seem to figure out if the TD-01KV lets you play along to your own songs—like Metallica’s “Sad But True,” for example—or, even better, without a drum track, so you can fill in the drums yourself?

Thanks!
