    Power supply is around 4 or 5 years old. It is set by default to detect an external gpu in the bios. Also someone else suggested it could be the psu but if it is I'd be surprised if it could power a 9600k without issues, what is your opinion on this?

    I only took the gpu down and they only charged me a fiver, he did say as I was leaving I could bring my pc for testing if I couldn't get it to work but I know he'll want to keep it for a few days and I'm not sure what he'll charge, I've been out of work for a few months so really don't have...

    Yes the fans spin and the card was left in a cardboard box. The pc is not detecting the card at all I've tried show hidden devices and it still won't show up but like I said I've had it tested and they confirmed it working so it's definitely not broken

    Yes on 2 boards as well. What I can't get my head around is that I had an r5 1600 with an asus b450 motherboard I think which worked fine never had an issue, I disassembled the motherboard because I had sold them on ebay so had to ship them and the rest of the parts just sat there for 3 days...

    This is the second board I've tried though, the first board was an asus z370. The amd build was an r5 1600 which is rated at 65 watts and the i5 9600k is rated at 95 watts which isn't much more. I'm not sure about the gpu pcie lane

    Yes this is the second motherboard I've tried and i've installed all of the drivers and the most recent bios update. I can't install the gpu drivers because my pc isn't detecting it in device manager even though my local pc shop has confirmed it working. Yes i've tried a hdmi cable in the gpu...
