Another Question

[Kristiaan]

Sorry but i have another question,

 

So i am getting a GTX 1060 6GB Ram but that has a 8 pin connection.

We only have a 6 pin connection from the PSU.

But i did see this, could be combine it?

That would make 8 right?...

 

Or should i just get such a 6 to 8 pin converter thingy.

that has a chance to fry the card.

It's a 6+2 pin cable and will not short your card, so long as it's not just a random 2-pin cable and actually part of the 6-pin.

Not if they're coming from the same cable, then it's how you're supposed to use it (although that specific layout is not clear from the photo)

How so? Just asking out of curiosity..

Because a 6+2 Pin PCIE is exactly what a GPU '8 pin' connection is: a 6+2 pin PCIE connection.

 

So OP, if you can just confirm this is a 6+2 pin PCIE (usually it's stamped on one side of the connector and you can also check the spec sheet to be sure) you can use that connector on a GTX 1060.

Of course I don't know the model type of the PSU, so I can't tell its quality; but this is the right plug.

ya i can't see if they are the same cable, if it's 2, just...don't do it, better safe than sorry. if it's 6+2 then it's ok

This is the PSU mate

That is a really weird power supply... https://www.importitall.co.za/Gateway-FSP50050AAGA-500w-80plus-Gold-12-pin-ATX-power-supply-DX4885-ap-B00LSUGQOU.html

 

According to their wiring diagram the 2pin connector is part of the PCIe cabling and should be able to be used in a 6pin+2pin configuration.

Thanks

yep, that's a standard 6+2, 8 PCIe pins off one cable ready for your graphics card.

Thank you so much  now i can safely confirm the buy of that 1060

Thats what the 6+2 connector is for
