Hi! I've been planning to get an RX 570 for my PC, but upon inspection, I saw that my power supply (700 watts) has no 6-pin connectors (which I think the RX 570 uses) and it only has two 4-pin connectors.

 

Any ideas or solutions on what I should do to make it possible? Should I replace the power supply or not? Thanks. :)

my power supply (700 watts)

can you share the model

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

Having no PCIe connectors on a supposed 700W PSU is quite an alarming sign. For an RX 570, I'd look at getting a new power supply. Do you have a set budget for it?
