Thanks. But is that 150w rating is for the cable itself or each 8-pin plug? I wouldn't be using splitters; the cable itself has two 8-pin connectors. It also gets half its power from the mobo as reported in GPU-Z so the 8-pin itself isn't being stressed that hard. Also about the 150w rating, I used to have a 1080 that pulled on average 200 something watts (250+ when OC'ed) and I thought if the PSU can handle that it also could handle 200.

Hi! I currently have a GTX 1070 that used to sit idle because of time constraints for gaming; so instead of leaving it doing nothing I connected to an Ethereum pool and started mining. It consumes about 100 watts. I also have another 1660 lying around that I could theoretically connect the same PCIe cable because my PSU (Corsair TX550M) doesn't seem to have another one. It would also consume about 100 watts. The question is: is it possible to plug in both GPUs using the same cable? As for a matter of wattage that PSU can easily handle a 1080 when OC'ed that pulled well over 250 watts. Way more than the 1070 + 1660 plugged in together. Thanks.

Same problem here. Any ideas on what it does?

Alright. Everything is plugged in and working fine. Thanks to all.

I built my pc about 4 months ago but my psu failed on me and I bought this one to replace it. You also helped me choose this one

So I shall connect the graphics card to the 8 pin pcie/cpu connector and all the rest to the other 3 6-pin plugs. Is that it?

So I bought a TX550M and the cable labeling is a bit confusing. There's the PCIe connection that is pretty clear since is the only one with 8 pins. https://imgur.com/a/XEbcz According to this, where do I plug the things? I don't get why above the pci connection there's a 4+4 cpu. There are two cables sata-only and a molex which I will use to plug in a fan. Both sata have 5 wires and the molex has 4.

Thanks to all. That was the best I could find for a reasonable price here in Brazil at R$500.

Thank you. I was just fishing for better options, if there were any. But isn't it a tier 2, though? (Not greater than 650w)

Hi. The model number of the product is cp-9020132-na. Should I buy this one or do you have any other recommendation? I will be running a Ryzen 7 1700 @1.3v 3.75GHz and a Gigabyte G1 GTX 1070 with moderate OC.

I guess so now... I ran one more stress test yesterday and the power indicating led on the Gigabyte 1070 G1 I have installed turned on. But I wonder why the rgb is blinking. Where does it get its power where the current was so bad? Also, the 12v reported by the uefi bios was oscillating from 11.9 to 10.something volts. I'll be replacing the psu.

Hi. 3 days ago my computer restarted out of nowhere. It did the same thing two more times before I noticed the RGB ring on the wraith spire cooler I have installed is blinking a bit. It just restarted for the 7th or 8th time now. Is it safe to assume the mobo is defective? Especially considering the blinking. All the other components seem to be working properly. Memory and stress tests doesn't seem to impact the components. Au contraire. It is when idle that I observed it rebooting. ASUS ROG Strix x370-F Firmware Version 3401 Corsair VS500

I used a nail plier to remove it. No pins, parts or people were damaged during this process. Thanks y'all. If you still have your rubber protector, would you check it and see if there's this piece of metal in it?

The cable won't go in. I checked this other page and I don't see one either on his cooler http://www.geeks3d.com/20170502/new-testbed-msi-x370-gaming-pro-carbon-amd-ryzen-7-1700/

So, I took the rubber protection thing out and there's this other piece of metal thing stuck on it. I couldn't find anything online about this but I believe it's not supposed to be there. Any ideas on how to get it out?
