GPU Power Connector Question

[TouchOfThorn]

I was wondering does the Corsair RMx 650W 80+ Gold PSU have the required power connectors to power the 8-pin and the 6-pin connectors on an RTX 2080 Super? And if so, where do I plug these power connectors into the PSU

Yes

 

it's labeled on the PSU itself

Is it that “Peripheral and SATA” labeled one the 6-pin correct? Or do you remove the extra 2 on the 6+2 connector for the second one?

Corsair PSUs generally have two types of ports (in addition to 24-pin ATX) - Peripheral & SATA and PCIe & CPU. You should be using the latter.

 

And no, you don't need to remove the extra 2 pins. You can use one 8pin cable and one 6pin cable or if you can't, just leave them hanging.

You use the whole plug for the 8pin and remove 2 pins for the 6pin connector yes.

because it clearly says PCIe 6+2 on the PSU, below the 8pin sockets
