5. Insert New GPU: Align the maxsun RTX 4060 with the PCIe slot and press down firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure the retention clip locks the card.
6. Secure GPU: Use screws to fasten the graphics card to the PC case's expansion slot brackets.
7. Connect Power: Connect the required PCIe power cable(s) from your PSU to the graphics card.
8. Close Case: Reattach the side panel of your PC case.

Software Installation:
