Whats the proper alternative  for a PSU with no single 8 pin plug for a GPU power?  (150-180~ish watts tdp)

 

  • is it a 6+2 pin combo
  • 6 pin to 8 pin adapter
  • a molex to 8 pin adapter
  • Others

 

which one is safer  or are they all safe? post your recommendations , Thanks

Details separate people.

Most of them aren't ideal. If your PSU doesn't have the required power connectors then you better not draw that much power

If you have a 6+2 it's the same thing as an 8 pin. If you don't have atleast on if those you need a new psu.
