hi guys, so i bought an asrock rx 5700 challenger, but when i was going to conect the PCI cables, my power supply had only one 8pin and another of 6pin and the graphic cards require two cables of 8 pin, so my question is there are any problem just connecting one cable of 6pin and another of 8pin?

It should be fine just try it

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Cards like the RX 570 can operate in a low power mode with a 6 pin used in place of an 8 pin, usually works out just fine

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

It will work just fine with an 8 and a 6. The reference design cards at 8 / 6 pin power connectors.
