How to determine what motherboard I have

[mythicrose]

Sorry, did you download the .exe or the zip file? I usually recommend the zip version, my folder only has four files in it. What type of junk are you referring to?

Zip file. The program attempted to change my browser page and added two other applications (one appeared to be an internet gaming application, couldn't determine what the other did). I removed everything and reverted to an earlier system backup as a safety precaution. I'm by no means accusing you of sending me to a bad site, so don't worry!

Thats should not have happened at all. I have downloaded this program many times over the past few years and have had no issues. Either way if you have a PCIe 2.1 x16 you should have able to max out all but 1 or two cards on the market. So you should not need to worry about running into comparability issues.

That's great to know. So long as I just go with a single 7000s series I won't have to upgrade my PSU or anything else. It was just the PCI connectors that were throwing me for a loop. I appreciate everyone's help!

This made me curious, so I downloaded the zip file and ran the program to see. No issues. I can't help but wonder if you actually clicked on something else mistakenly? If you are sure you clicked on the right link (says '1.66 zip, english' on the right side of the page), then I'm concerned you may have some kind of malware on your computer. You might consider looking into scanning your system with MalwareBytes.
