Hello, I have recently built my new low budget gamming pc It has- I7-4790s Ant eSports h81 motherboard Ant eSports VS400L (400w) PSU M.2 SSD NVIDIA RTX 2060 8GB DDR3 RAM I wants to know that can I use my single 8pin EPS power connector with splitter to power CPU and my GPU..... Am planning to connect one 8pin EPS to 8pin pcie converter to power my graphics Card.... I guess My cpu doesn't need much power from 8 pin EPS connector So am hoping to use that extra power to power my GPU..... I have just blown same new power supply in just 8 days , I was using it to power my graphics Card with (DIY) dual molex to 8pin pcie connector I just get the new one from company And now am scared to use it in same way again, even with new factory made dual molex to 8 pin pcie connector.... So am planning to use 8pin EPS with splitter.... So, Will it work and is it safe? If this didn't work then I will go for dual power supply method where I will use dedicated PSU for graphics Card....

Hi there, I've just bought an RTX 3080 TI from marketplace and the person gave me his power cable (top) that came with his power supply and I realized it doesn't fit with my power supply since there are different shapes. I used my old power cable for my GTX 1060 6GB, but there's 1 empty hole. I'm not sure what are the difference, but I'm kind of worried that the RTX 3080TI require all 8 holes to function correctly. Do I need to get a new Power Supply for the right pinned cable or why are there differences? Also, since my new GPU require 2x 8pins, I've also heard that you should use 1 power cable for each 8pins for even power. Is that true? Thank you.

Summary Asus is experimenting with a 600W power connector (Wccftech) mounted on the motherboard, replacement for both the standard 2x4 150W connector, and the 600W 12VHPWR connector that became notorious for melting if not inserted correctly (Gamer Nexus in depth reporting). Quotes My thoughts The regular PCI-E slot can provide 75W of power. From an engineering viewpoint, extending the PCB with special 600W traces makes sense. The GPU is supported more firmly, without a bulky connector at awkward angles trying to pry it off it's PCI-E slot. Everything else is a mess: Nvidia is trying to force a new standard with the 12VHPWR connector, useful ONLY for their GPUs. Nvidia ships adapters from standard 8pin connector to whatever proprietary connector they make. The 12VHPWR connector is already unfit for duty, as some 4090 variant use two of them! Asus is trying to force a new standard, with their non-standard PCI-E extension. 600W is a lot of power for a consumer GPU to draw. Servers do the right thing, and mostly use standard mezzanine or fanless PCI-E GPUs with standard 8 pin connectors. Manufacturers, including OEMs should just stop making non standard components and non standard form factors. You want to manufacture a GPU that draws 675W? Put four 8 pin connectors on the side of the card! You want a better standard? Negotiate with other manufacturers for a proper backward compatible extension to the standard.

I have a HP PreBuild with a HP motherboard, i don’t know which one tho. It has a 4pin for CPU and General power. Theres a intel i7 10700F and a 1660ti. -
So, i have a corsair cv650 psu 80+ bronze it has 2 (6+2) pcie connectors attached to a single cable i know that 8 pin pcie is rated for 150w !! but are these actually 2x so 300w! or just 1 my question is can i run 2 rtx 3060tis each of them requires a single 8 pin cable (using that single pcie (6+2) cable which is splitted to 2x(6+2) ) ? my second question is are 2x molex or 2x sata to 8pin ok ? Gpu: Evga rtx 3060ti sc 4th gen mobo + i3 cpu i`m using it to mine crypto ( sorry) thank you.

I have been leaving my computer on pretty much 24/7... shutting it down only every 4-5 days at most. This is a desktop computer and I rarely move it. Last night I noticed the computer was off and I can't get it to turn back on. The components are a mix of new and slightly used that were gifted to me. Motherboard:X-99A CPU: Core i7 5820K GPU: Radeon HD7770 PSU: Thermaltake Smart 500W RAM: Corsair Vengenance LPX 16GB 4X4kit HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB Cooler: Gammaxx 400 I built this computer in July of this year (2020) and this was my first build as I was turining 13. My Dad is helping me with the forum. I used ASUS EZ tuning Wizard set for air cooling and gaming/video editing. The computer will power up with the 24-pin power cable, but when I plug in the 8 pin it won't power-up (crashes). I pulled all the components out and rebuilt it outside the case. When I pulled out the Mobo, I found a loose screw had been caught behind it. I have tried clearing the CMOS and resetting the CPU, but still have this issue. The thermals were fine 80 C max. I'm worried that this is a mobo or cpu issue. I'm worried the screw caused a short and fried my mobo or cpu. What can I do to test if the mobo or CPU are fried? video when I turn it on WIN_20201017_20_59_59_Pro.mp4 -
Ok so I am getting an RTX 3060 and I was looking at this: https://www.amazon.com.au/Gigabyte-GeForce-3060-Gaming-GV-N3060GAMING-OC-12GD-2-0/dp/B0971BG25M/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1PE1VRBK95OLL&keywords=3060&qid=1664849930&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjYwIiwicXNhIjoiMy44NiIsInFzcCI6IjMuMTQifQ%3D%3D&s=electronics&sprefix=30%2Celectronics%2C311&sr=1-5 But it has come to my attention that the RTX 3060 is rated for 170w and can spike up to 200w, However Gigabyte and all the other GPU brands decided to make it a single 8Pin PCIe connector from the PSU despite it being rated for only 150w, How does this make sense? I read that the motherboard PCIe slot can provide up to 75w but is it fine to use that or should I get a premium (Strix or AORUS) and pay $100-$150 more to get an extra 6Pin connector, or is 8Pin enough? I would probably get this if I needed to get the 8+6 Pin power https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/graphics-cards/nvidia/90375-gv-n3060aorus-e-12gd-r2.0/exdemo do you all think this would work? One other thing that doesnt matter as much but is still relevent I beleive is that I am also getting Lian Li 2*8pin strimmer cables so it would look better with the 8+6 connecter rather than just 8 -
Sorry if this seems dumb I'm a bit new to PC building. I have attached two images, one of my PSU with the slots that I can't use (fitted with other connectors) marked in red, and a picture of my 1070 that requires a 8pin (or 6+2pin) power cable. I only have the three 12pin slots on the PSU that can be used. As far as I understand, I would need a male 8pin connector with the other side being a male 12 pin into the PSU, yes..? If thats not the case, what options do I have in order to power my GPU. Any help is appreciated.

I'm planning to upgrade my gpu and noticed that I have a caveman power supply which uses molex, and the gpu i am planning to buy has 8 pin 6+2 connector, for piece of mind, I should buy a dual molex to 8pin right? just plug those 2-4 pins to the power supply then attach the 8 pin on the gpu right?

Hey there, does anyone know if its possible to run my rtx 3080 ftw3 ultra fine by using only 2 6+2pin cables eventhough the card has 3 8pin slots or will there be any issues? I dont want to overclock or anything and my psu is the EVGA Supernova 750 GT.

My CPU is a low TDP CPU with only 65W, I know it uses one CPU power cable because it is kind of an old Cpu at this point but the high end motherboard I'm using has two power connectors, should I still plug in both cables?

Hey guys and girls, I am planning to get me a brand new RTX 3060 to replace my RX 570. What I don't really understand. The 3060 has a tdp of 170Watts and one 8pin connector. The Rx 570 has a tdp of 150W and an 8pin connector. Is it safe to use? How do I know how much current my pcie slot provides? thus 8pin is rated at a maximum of 150W. Can I even upgrade to a 3060ti? I really don't wanna risk overheating my cables, connector. Thanks for the help! My specs: PSU: BeQuiet SystemPower B9 600W with one pcie cable. MB: ASRock A320m Rev 4.0 Ryzen 5 2600 GPU see above (wanna get the Gigabyte 12gig OC edition) 16 Gb 3200 DDR4 1 SSD 2 HDD 3 12V Fans 1 DVD

Basically I want to change the PCIE 8 pin cables feeding into my GPU. The current cable that came included with the power supply is too thick, making it difficult to install the glass panel without pressing the GPU inwards, as well as being too ugly (picture attached). I know that one is not supposed to mix power cables from different PSU's, so I assume that I can't just use any "custom or modded" cable. So I'd appreciate if you can share some information with me on how to choose the appropriate cable, and if it's ok to just change the cables feeding into the GPU while keeping the already existing cables feeding into the remaining components. I don't mind upgrading all the cables for better looks, but I'd prefer to stretch my expenditure over a long period of time as my budget has already been exceeded. Also is it better to get cables which are extensions or ones that plug directly into the PSU. I'd like to factor in cost and quality into consideration, I prefer higher quality but not to a point where I'll be paying a premium for a diminishing return. Another thing I wanna know is it ok if I use a 90 degree connector, or if I should just look for a cable with a 90 degree header. The specs of the parts involved for reference: PSU: ROG Strix 1000W Gold GPU:ROG Strix RTX3090

Hii guys first time poster looking for some help So today when i was watching YouTube in my pc it suddenly turned off. So after trying to start it again it would turn on for a second or half and turn off again. After doing all the normal trobleshooting stuff i came to know that it powered on when the 8 pin connector was not plugged in the motherboard. My specs are CPU - ryzen 3 2200g GPU- gigabyte gtx 660ti windforce oc 2gb Mobo- asus ex 320m gaming Ram- hyperx fury black 4gb two stacks total 8gb ram Stock cpu cooler from amd Hdd- seagate baracuda 1 tb Ssd - wd green 120 gb Psu - corsair tx 750 So is it my cpu ?mobo?psu? Please help

So im almost finished building my pc. I just need to add gpu and plug the connector to the cpu. The thing is i dont know which cables to use, my psu evga supernova 650g2 came with two cpu cables one which is very short but matches the port sonce it has two squares in the middle and two on bottom corners and the normal long cable most people use which is 4x4. The thing is it doesnt seem like the 4x4 matches the shapes on the port I have already connected this 4x4 cable to psu and tied it and it would be a pain if its not the right one to connect to the cpu. Even if its not the right cable i would like to know what this cable does since they both say cpu PS. Maybe the shapes dont matter and i just connect it?

Getting ready to start sleeving cable (my video card takes 6 pin power and I have spare cables If i upgrade) what Id like to know is it to ok to remove the extra 2 pin from the connector going to the psu

Has anyone ever attempted this? I'm building a mobile desktop and am using a DC-DC supply for the mobo. I didn't find any compact dcdc supplies with 8 pin connectors, so I'm wondering whether I can just wire it up directly to the battery. ATX specs allow voltages from 12.6 to 11.4 volts, so a slightly discharged car battery would fit in perfectly. I've also thought about using 3S LiPo batteries, but they're a little expensive for prototyping. What's the lowest voltage that works for common GPUs? I wouldn't be astonished if modern GPUs only use 5v and lower anyway. The step down converters might not even need 12 volt in this case. Here's my board if that's of any importance: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/Fatal1ty X370 Gaming-ITXac/ PS: This is my first build.

Hi there! I just got my MSI 1080ti gaming x yesterday, and little did I know the box didn't include anything but the card and a 6pin to 8pin adapter! (I didn't even get a code to download a free game... I don't know what's up with that). Anyways, the cable I used to power my old 660 was a single 6pin, and I was left with an extra 2pin dangling on the side, plus another 6pin+2pin on that same cable. I used that cable to power my new 1080ti since I didn't have a spare 8pin and really wanted to try it. Should I be worried about using a single cable to power a 1080ti? It seemed to be working fine, I played for little over an hour on BF1 and everything was running smoothly, the card was silent.

Hey guys, so I just spent all my salary on on a (sort of) new computer. I bought a Ryzen 5 1500x, a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3, and 8 Gigs of DDR4 memory. When I went to build it I realized that the motherboard has an 8 pin CPU power connector, but I only have one 4 pin connector on my old Chieftec PSU. I tried anyway with only 4pins, and it works fine, but I don't know wether it's gonna be bad for the computer over time. Can I use it like this and not worry about it, or do I need to upgrade my PSU asap? -
So I wanna buy a gtx 1060 that has a 6pin power connection but my psu is old and I have only 2 flat 4pin connectors available. The card ships with a 1 8pin to 2 6pin power connectors adapter (the evga 1060 6gb) Will it work? If not what might? For clarification these r the cable I have... There r those 2 other attachments at the endings - the black one used to be connected to the optical drive...

Hi! I have an old motherboard with an Intel Xeon in it. It has a 4 pin slot to Power the CPU. Now I have an Corsair CX650M psu which only has a 8 pin connector. Now my question is: Is it safe to Power the CPU with the 8 pin connector if i can fit 4 of the 8 pins into the CPU Power slot? Or could that damage the CPU or motherboard in any way? Ty for all the help! /Sigge

Hi i bought a new GFX card today and decided to purchase a 2060 since i can slowly upgrade my computer piece by piece. But when im installing it i realize that my current gpu has a 6-pin (960) but the new one has an 8-pin. The slot that the current gpu is plugged into the PSU is labeled 6+2 PCI-E & 4-4 CPU, (corsair cs450m) can i plug mu gpu in with the extra 2 that are currently just hanging loose in the system? Thanks in advance

So I finally upgraded my GTX 1050 to a GTX 1660 but sadly it requires an 8pin power connector and my psu only has a 6pin. I heard some people were able to get this card running with a 6pin power connector considering it only uses 120 watts of power. So will this work? I'm only playing games at 1366x768p resolution (less load on the GPU). Thanks in advance. Specs: Intel i5 9400 cpu Asus TUF B360M-Plus Gaming motherboard Kingston HyperX 16GB DDR4 2666 ram Asus TUF Gaming GTX 1660 gpu (hopefully this works) Western Digital Green SSD 580w 80+ power supply Acer V196HQL 1366x768p monitor

I decided to replace my GTX 960 Mini with a GTX 1070. The product page for my PC says I have a 600 W PSU but I can only see 1 6-pin connector that's connected to my current card. See image: I read that such adapter is not recommended. So do I need a new PSU? My specs: Intel Core i7-4790 (4 cores) up to 4Ghz 2Tb SATA3 7200rpm 16Gb DDR3 1600Mhz DVD-RW Super Multi ASUS GeForce GTX960 2Gb GDDR5 600W Silent PFC 12cm (I guess it's this one) -
So I need a GPU and for price reasons I'm considering AMD over Nvidia. So I'm looking at the RX 570 or the RX 480 but my PSU is non-modular so I need 3rd party power connectors. I already have a Molex to 6-pin but the cards need an 8-pin I believe. Would I be able to use a single Molex to power the card?(I don't have any spare Molexes on my PSU).
